MAGICAL MISERY TOUR HITS TIBET

On June 18, the Olympic torch will arrive in Chengdu and begin its two-day journey to Lhasa.  Students for a Free Tibet has provided a helpful interactive map of the torch's route, along with pop-up information on some of the major protest sites throughout Tibet.  This is clearly one of the more abominable rituals in recent international history.  The banality of its evil is off the scale:  this is mental thuggery, pure and simple.

Call your friends, write your Congressman, tell your dog, instruct your children in the fundamentals of righteous indignation.
