Send a letter to Mohammed Bouyeri!

You can find his address here or at the bottom of this entry.

There's really no excuse not to send something nice to the murderer of Theo van Gogh as he will probably be serving a life sentence. That's what the D.A. demanded today, anyway. Contrary to popular myth a life sentence does mean a life sentence in the Netherlands. Only under very rare circumstances is it possible to be pardoned - and you have to wait for 20 years before you can even request a premature release (i.e. one without being enclosed in a wooden box).

So even if your letter has to come from McMurdo Station or the ISS, it will arrive in time for Mohammed to read it.

As for what kind of mail he'd like to receive, well, that's up to you of course (note: the prison will screen it). Mohammed really likes everything that has to do with Islamic extremism, and dislikes everything else. Please don't ship goats. I don't approve of cruelty against animals.

Here's Mohammed Bouyeri's addresss until, say, about 2050 and onwards. (I've made a few minor improvements to facilitate international shipping.)

Penitentiaire Inrichting Amsterdam
Locatie De Schans
attn. Mohammed Bouyeri
P.O. Box 41901
NL-1009 CE Amsterdam
The Netherlands

(For case details, please read Peaktalk. He does it so well there's really no point in me doing the same thing.)

In the spirit of my visit to Ireland

This quote from The 25th Hour:

"Fuck Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, and backward-ass, cave-dwelling, fundamentalist assholes everywhere. On the names of innocent thousands murdered, I pray you spend the rest of eternity with your seventy-two whores roasting in a jet-fueled fire in hell. You towel headed camel jockeys can kiss my royal Irish ass!"

This above all

Even relativism isn't relativistic towards its own core ideology.
It's ironic, in a way, that vice-admiral James Stockdale passed away last week.
He was a champion of stoicism.
In very much the same way the British are displaying it right now.
Only if there's nothing there can terrorists destroy it.

My very concise review of Sin City

Wonderful.

(Oh, and can I have Jessica Alba's phone number, please. Thank you.)

(The former paragraph was not officially part of this review, and neither is this one. Please ignore them at will.)

Back in town

The problem with a few days of R&R is that it makes you realise you need even more.

Anyway, sorry for those of you who had to stare at my webcam. The software I use for that had inadvertently written over the index.html file. All is back to normal now.
