I had planned a follow-up post on last night’s “Punching Down”, but work — real work, the paying kind — intervened. The post is about half-written, and will be finished sometime tomorrow, God willing and the Creek don’t rise.And now for the news: The Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram broke into a church in northern Nigeria and attacked the congregants with automatic weapons. At least six people were killed, including the pastor’s wife, and another ten were injured.
In other news, the prosecution in the trial of Hosni Mubarak is asking for the death penalty, saying that the former president of Egypt incited murder during last year’s protests in Tahrir Square.
