Last refuge of a scoundrel

It's a bank holiday which looks set to break with tradition and provide some actual sun. It's unpatriotic to talk about any serious topic on a day like this, but then again the US army inconsiderately chose a day when there's not supposed to be any news to accomplish its decade-old goal of killing Osama Bin Laden.

Anyway. Enjoy the rest of the bank holiday. I am stuck inside with a pile of marking, but that's a very minor rant compared to the one I ended up composing.
