TroveIf you're in or around D.C., I'm speaking tonight at one of the launch events for We Are Wisconsin, an anthology of writing, tweets, and other offerings from the Cheddar Revolution. Busboys and Poets, 6:45 p.m. I hear they have soy products.
I make a point of never trying to guess what Sarah Palin is up to, but Karl Rove is a braver soul than me. George W.

This attack is believed to be linked to a similar mail bomb sent to another Mexican professor researching nanotech, though that parcel was opened instead by a security guard who sustained minor injuries. Other anti-nanotech attacks have occurred in Spain, Chile, and France, while members of a Swiss group were recently convicted of planning to bomb an IBM lab that carires out nanotech research. It’s unclear whether those incidents were carried out by the group claiming responsibility for the Mexican attacks, which calls itself “Individualities Tending Toward Savagery.”
