Justice Thomas refers to Justice Stevens’ “unfamiliarity with the realities of warfare”; but Stevens served in the U.S. Navy from 1942 to 1945, during World War II. Thomas’s official bio, by contrast, contains no experience of military service.

“There is nothing particularly innovative about short-sightedness and lack of compassion. Nevertheless, the way libertarians combine these elements is innovative.”

The early estimate says that Portland’s charity screening of Serenity netted around $6,300 for Equality Now, currently leading the pack amongst the 47 screenings around the world.
So far, with 33 of those screenings reporting in, the global effort has raised nearly $58,000. And today, Joss Whedon said to stop worshipping false b!Xes.
Out of 500 available tickets, we have 62 left. Online advance sales are closed, so anyone still needing tickets will have to go to Cinema 21 after their box office opens around 4:15 PM today after 5:00 PM when door sales begin.
Addendum: Those who have already purchased their tickets, but did so after the mail deadline and so need to pick them up can do so at the will-call table, also beginning at 5:00 PM.
It’s the 22nd of June, which means the three-day run of the vast majority of Serenity Now/Equality Now screenings is about to get underway.
As for ours, Metroblogging Portland noticed, and today’s Portland Mercury pimps it in an article and atop the Friday portion of their busy week.
Have you bought your tickets yet?
It will be in print on Thursday, but you can catch The Portland Mercury item on Friday’s charity Serenity screening right now via their Blogtown section.
Austin is sold out. Raleigh is sold out. Boston sold out and got moved to a larger theater. Dallas sold out and added a second screen. Los Angeles sold out and got moved to a larger theater, then sold out and got moved to a larger theater.
Do you want to miss out on the chance to see Serenity on the big screen again (or for the first time) while raising money for Equality Now? Of course you don’t.
So visit Cinema 21 or order tickets online for our own screening this Friday evening, here in Portland, the birthplace of the charity screenings movement. Wait until Friday and they might be gone. Plus they will cost $2.50 more at the door on the day of the show.
And those fine folk over at Metroblogging Portland who have previously posted about Serenity, this is me nudging you a second time.
CNET says I have minions.
J. Scott Wilson, whose online column is syndicated to more than 60 major local and regional news websites, pimps the charity screenings of Serenity happening this week. The many countless sites carrying the column are responsible for the bulk of today’s traffic to the worldwide screening effort’s website.
