I must admit, when I first saw the headline I had assumed it was in the US. Here’s the article. I’m all for stopping terrorism, but this is an absolute outrage.

A 23-year-old former Heathrow shop assistant who called herself the “lyrical terrorist” and scrawled her extremist thoughts on till receipts has been handed a nine-month suspended jail sentence.

Samina Malik became the first woman convicted under new terrorism legislation after writing poems entitled How To Behead and The Living Martyrs.

We, in the upper midwest (Being Minnesota & Wisconsin), like to think of ourselves as the conscience of America - we have a tradition of clean government and social reform. We tend to elect people who are champions of progress. Combined, we gave the rest of the world Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, Paul Wellstone, Gaylord Nelson, the founder of Earth Day, Robert M. La Follette, and Russ Feingold.

But not only do our politicians think differently, so do our thieves. A trio of men dressed up as construction workers, invading homes and stealing the stained glass windows of many homes in the Twin Cities area.   All said and done, they stole over 150 windows over the last 3 months.

How to you bring something like that up to your cell mates?

Additional stuff - I was sadly outbid on my pinball playfield, I listed my max bid of $80, it sold for $81. I was initially bummed, but yesterday 2 superior quality playfields were placed up for auction, and I’ll be damned if I lose this time. On both, I’ve opted for the eBay SMS thing were it sends me a text message if I’m outbid, and on both I’ve placed my max bid slightly higher then any normal person should be willing to pay. But at least I’ll get one, if not both, when it’s all said and done.

Coffee table hooooooooooooooo!

Oi, less then 24 hours and we’ll get the keys to the new place! I can’t wait damn it, now now now! Bringing my camera and a bottle of champagne to celebrate I think.

And a few hundred dollars in paint and supplies Mishka picked up yesterday.

 Those people are my kind of activists. Apparently, according to this article, the people in Gareth Groves’ neighborhood didn’t appreciate his purchase of a 2005 Hummer, and proceeded to violently let him know. All 4 38 inch tires slashed, a ‘machete’ taken to the body work, lights and windows smashed - we need these type of people around here!

Also, Moo is opening its doors today. If you haven’t heard about it, Moo is a new service that will print up a sticker book for you with high quality vinyl stickers. Yes, I know that isn’t big news by itself, Mpix, Vista Print, etc etc all do that. BUT, here’s the difference - Moo allows you to make a sticker book with 90 stickers, and each sticker can be a completely different photograph! That’s big news! So, since I’m a TechCrunch subscriber, I’m going to pass the special offer on to you as well. Click here for 90 stickers for only $10.
