Romeo, doff your name

Apparently, a bunch of assholes at NewSouth publishing are going to release a revised edition of Huckleberry Finn which replaces the word nigger with the word slave.  I don’t have much to say about this that isn’t being said over at Coates’ place, so I’ll just say: fuck you, America.  And I will re-assert my New Year’s wish, that the Large Hadron Collider cannot destroy our planet quickly enough.  Scientists, get to work!  Either that or somebody please just cross the fucking streams.
