they'll say anything
tim pawlenty, muddleheaded republican governor of minnesota, has decided to use the disappearance of dru sjodin in grand forks as a lever with which to propel reinstatement of the death penalty in minnesota.
it's entirely possible that something awful happened to her -- this girl who is the same age as me, and was standing in a mall entrance i stood in probably hundreds of times -- though no one knows that yet. she is still missing.
it's already a tragedy. why make it that much more barbaric and crass?

welcome to my blog. i'm a ph.d. candidate in political science at yale, a native midwesterner, and a happy californian. right now my research is about armed organizations and how they organize their violence against noncombatants, or fail to. i'm also interested in intentional community, gender in the academy, grad school pedagogy, fat politics, the religious left, my partner, our local farmers' market and idiosyncratic capitalization practices.
