some things from today, and some from not today.

"My Father's Abortion War," an essay adapted from Eyal Press' forthcoming book (which looks really good).

The fabulous Elizabeth Merrick is interviewed in Venus.

An interview with Steven Colbert - out of character and totally on point - at the av club.

Really good news: Daniel McGowan has been released into the custody of his sister, despite the "urgent plea" from the prosecutor to keep him locked up until trial. Reports indymedia:

Incredibly, the DA had attempted to assert that one of the factors showing that McGowan was unworthy of being released was the fact that he had supported political prisoner Jeff "Free" Leurs. Apparently, the judge was not buying that.
