Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day
My wall calendar lists today as "Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day (US) First of Muharram". Funny how the calendar makers think it's important to note that Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is a "US" thing, but they don't see a need to footnote First of Muharram - like we should already know what that means. I checked the major news today: Wiki-Leaks founder Julian Assange is arrested for failing to wear a condom while engaging in a one night stand. Not "On Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Wiki-Leaks founder Julian Assange is arrested for failing to wear a condom while engaging in a one night stand." Is that even a crime?

I guess if you piss off a lot of really powerful people, they will find something you did and make it a crime. Complicated freedom of speech issues at hand.
