I guess it’s a stretch to call Guantanamo racist, but in the spirit of Amebix reforming and playing some show dates in the U.S. later this month, I’m in a crusty kind of mood, and Destroy’s "Burn This Racist System Down" is a killer song that’s on my mind when I read the Wall Street Journal’s follow-up piece about how Obama’s going to issue an executive order "within his first week in office" to shutter the prison. It’ll take some time to actually close the place, but the order itself is an extremely significant return to basic sanity and decency.

I promise never to write this again, but it’s a shame that Oz isn’t on the air anymore, because I’d like to see an episode where Khalid Shaikh Mohammed comes to Em City and starts dealing drugs with Adebisi.
