British FBI will require neither ruth nor evidence. Reminds me of those ‘PC cleaning’ programs that take up megs and megs of space and leave their own crap lying around the filesystem, inciting the purchase of yet another layer of clean-sweep utilities. Yet another layer of policing, yet another layer of government. I say we disband the country, stack the bodies in the cellar, leave quietly one at a time, and pretend none of this has ever happened.

Wow, easily the best Mars picture yet:

Discarded backshell and parachute

NASA’s Mars Rovers website is pretty good all round, but I bet my URL for this picture lasts longer than theirs.
