From This Year’s Model notes on elviscostello.info

The following night we made our U.S. television debut on Saturday Night Live. The Sex Pistols had been scheduled for the show only to cancel after an alleged oversight regarding work permits. Needless to say the expected viewing figures for the debut of U.K. punk outrage were in our favour.

We arrived at NBC with the intention of playing a couple of songs from our live set. Maybe something got lost in translation, but none of the humour seemed nearly as “dangerous” or funny as they seemed to think it was, or perhaps they were just having a bad show. The record company interference certainly didn’t help my mood.

We were getting pressure to perform a number from My Aim is True. I honestly believed that the words of “Less than Zero” would be utterly obscure to American viewers. Taking a cue from an impromptu performance by Jimi Hendrix on a late ’60s B.B.C. television show, I stopped this tune after a few bars and counted off an unreleased song, “Radio, Radio”. I believed that we were just acting in the spirit of the third word of the show’s title, but it was quickly apparent that the producer did not agree. He stood behind the camera making obscene and threatening gestures in my direction. When the number was over, we were chased out of the building and told that we would “never work on American television again”. Indeed, we did not make another U.S. television appearance until 1980. Although this clip from SNL went on to be rerun on numerous occasions, I was not allowed back on the show until 1989. However, I was forgiven in time to be invited to re-create the moment, with the Beastie Boys as my backing band, for the show’s 25th anniversary special.

And a Wikipedia Article on the SNL performance.

University of Chicago Professor Richard Epstein talking at a Federalist Society meeting at George Mason University Law School on Kelo v. New London which allowed public takings of private land to be used by other private parties if the public was benefited and that promoting economic development is a traditional and long accepted governmental function, and there is no principled way of distinguishing it from the other public purposes. Here is Professor Epstein’s commentary on this case adn decision and on takings in general.

Two great late Republicans doing what they do best… entertain… with Cher. Sonny Bono of course is well known for getting Barbara Boxer elected…. by dividing the 1992 Republican Senate primary into a 3 way race, leading to Bruce Herschensohn winning the Republican nomination and former Stanford Law Prof, and current UC Berkeley Haas School of Business Dean Tom Campbell (and Sonny) losing to Bruce. Bruce of course lost to Barbara. No Sonny… Tom wins, Boxer loses. and click here to read why Tom voted to impeach President Clinton as a Congressman in 1999.

And from Jack Cafferty file on CNN — Is President Bush planning on pardoning himself by way of bill that just passed the US House???

The text and other congressional information about HR 6054 - Military Commissions Act of 2006 - can be read by clicking here.

Here is some more information from NPR (audio) on the Senate version of the bill, and at BlogCritics.org - Urgent Legislation (H.R.6054) Contains Hidden Retroactive Presidential War Crimes Pardon… Why? (and read the comments for that post).

The key item (from the NPR site) “The legislation would narrow the range of offenses prohibited under the War Crimes Act. This would protect civilians (such as CIA interrogators and White House officials) from being prosecuted for committing acts that would have been considered war crimes under the old definition. The change is retroactive…”
