Sunday morning roundup Part I

For what, exactly, are Russian journalists risking their lives? Apparently, for reporting to an increasingly apathetic public.

No, I would attend a pig roast if it were celebrating, for example, a landmark event in the life of a close friend (perhaps a farmer who uses humane practices). Even though one might argue that there is no humane slaughter of livestock. My point is, it's a more complicated analogy than Mr. Benjamin lets on. I would be hurt if my gay friends boycotted my wedding, but I'd also understand where they're coming from.
