--Should laws that red-line sex offenders by forbidding them to be within a certain radius of a school apply to Election Day, when the school is the offender's polling place? (Via Sex Crimes Blawg.)

--Why are "suspected sorcerers" in the D.R. Congo being arrested and in some cases almost lynched by angry mobs?
