supreme court allows execution of innocent alabama man.
http://www.scotusblog.com/2016/12/divided-court-allows-alabama-execution-to-proceed/#more-249766
i'm using innocent in a technical sense here: the guy was not sentenced to death by a jury, so the presumption of innocence applies. it's not that he didn't kill the clerk. "I shot the clerk?", he confessed, or was that the Oscar winning "My Cousin Vinnie."

While people can reasonably disagree about how organ markets should be structured and the extent to which they need to be regulated, there is a very strong case for legalizing them in order to save the lives of thousands of innocent people who are otherwise doomed to an early (and often painful) death, and tens of thousands more who must otherwise undergo years of needless suffering.

word for the day, a portmanteau, frenemesis,
Indeed, I’ve been rewatching the original series at the same time as the revival has come out, and I’ve found myself much more interested in the bad things about the seeming-heroes of the series and the good things about the seeming-villains. Here, for instance, is the positive case for Paris Geller, Rory’s frenemesis, and here is the case for grandmother Emily Gilmore as the real hero of the show.

word for the day: contango. It's investment jargon about futures prices, but it's a real word, or at least it's been around over 100 years. I'd never heard it before.
