DEJA VU: We like to think of the anti-death penalty movement as a modern invention, but the fact it is state-sanctioned killings have always been controversial. Our latest blog post contrasts the current standards of punishment with one of the earliest anti-capital punishment documents, an Italian count's essay from 1764.
Hulk Hogan is a clueless ass
Whenever I see something like this from Hogan, I feel like Bobby Heenan in 96: I was right all along, and you've all been suckered by the orange bastard.

This is going to be a little complicated for some, and I'm very sorry.
This is the 20th episode of The Footnotes of Wrestling. But, since I've rebranded and moved the site, it would be silly to continue to call it that. So I renamed the blog I host the podcast on (huge secret: I use the wordpress for that bit of dirty work), then renamed the Feedburner feed, which officially (apparently) cut off support for current subscribers. Of course, the only reason I use feedburner is so that this sort of thing doesn't happen, so, you know, damn it.
It's an easy fix though. In a couple of days, that will sort itself out on iTunes, but in the meantime, if you'd like to listen to the 20th episode of the show (which is now the Aggressive Art Podcast), then click here to listen, and click here to subscribe via Feedburner (the new one). I will fix the Fair to Flair Master Feed for those subscribing to that, so the episode will be available in a day or so there as well.
As for what the episode is about, well, Pulse Wrestling's Aaron Glazer and I talk about self promotion, raising the bar in wrestling journalism, and running out of gas as a writer. I hope you enjoy it.
You're not going to get a better tribute to Edge than this.
I was only able to write four sentences before I started crying again. You'd think my body would have run out of tears by now, but no, it's okay, I love having stinging, red, swollen eyes.

Just wanted to add a footnote for the podcast...
Just wanted to add a footnote for the podcast Jason, Razor and I did yesterday. From the Wikipedia:
A MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin or maguffin) is "a plot element that catches the viewers' attention or drives the plot of a work of fiction".[1] The defining aspect of a MacGuffin is that the major players in the story are (at least initially) willing to do and sacrifice almost anything to obtain it, regardless of what the MacGuffin actually is. In fact, the specific nature of the MacGuffin may be ambiguous, undefined, generic, left open to interpretation or otherwise completely unimportant to the plot. Common examples are money, victory, glory, survival, a source of power, or a potential threat, or it may simply be something entirely unexplained.
