His lawyer has argued that stripping him of citizenship would leave him stateless and would be a breach of his human rights. (full story)
Last I checked, the right to a state isn’t a basic human right. The guy was born in Egypt, and he should have thought twice about giving up his citizenship in a dubious bid to get citizenship somewhere else. Maybe we should make a state called Utopia to put on all of these people’s passports (utopia is latin for ‘nowhere’)
so it looks like there was a database problem, and the post i made earlier for today got lost. so i started mucking around with the program i use to do this (MoveableType… it’s great) and i came across the advertising bot comments that have been jamming up some of my entries. i’m working on deleting them. and their presence prompts me to pen the following, which shall apply anywhere on this domain and will be linked to this page in the near future:
