I, for one, would like to welcome our new turkey overlords
That's the Christian Science Church, people. With a turkey in front of it. And not on rye with mayo! Bendo1 recovered from the shock long enough a few days ago to take the photo.

Loaded for bear on the Red and Orange lines
Bobbob hasn't taken the T regularly for three years now, so wonders if the following sight is unusual:
... [T]here were two very buff, swat-team style cops with large guns -- I don't know my guns, but this sure wasn't a handgun, it extended about the length of his torso. Is this a new thing? Have there been military style police riding the rails for a while now? I opted to take the next train but the other passengers seemed less surprised.
Amazingly, JP Beat got a photo of two T SWATters at Back Bay station this morning, and they don't look like they're about to order him to the ground and rip the memory card out of his camera.
Maybe they were too busy looking for this evil dude.

You feel inferiority-complex ravaged today?
Gizmodo says it's a good thing we're getting the world's largest Borg cube Apple store, because it will help us with that inferiority thing.

Walking the Walk
Chris was among those walking in yesterday's Walk for Hunger:
... Today was a rough walk, it rained for the entire time but I did manage to complete the 20 mile walk in 4 hours and 50 minutes despite the far less than optimal conditions. ...
Anna: I did finish it, but my toes felt like they were going to literally explode.

Scientology trumps-up "harassment" charge against outed Anonymous protester
Do citizens have a legal right to peacefully protest in front of organizations that they disagree with?
The 'Church' of Scientology says that we don't. They have filed a criminal charge of 'harassment' against Gregg Housh, a local participant in masked 'Anonymous' protests near their 448 Beacon Street facility. Housh was just one of many particpants in these events, but Scientology singled him out for prosecution because he signed the paperwork applying for a protest permit at Boston City Hall.
Housh will be arraigned tomorrow in Boston Municipal Court. Read more about the case at Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, or watch Housh and Scientology's lawyer go at it on the April 24 edition of WGBH's Greater Boston.
