Controversial Charlie Hebdo covers

I managed to forget posting yesterday’s Daily Blend (and very nearly today’s), so enjoy this double digest edition.

• The Innocence Project: Five more DNA exonerations, five more innocent people go home. Prosecutors continue to throw as many sticks in their wheels as possible.
  (via Dispatches from the Culture Wars)

• More criminal injustice: SCOTUS to consider whether kids convicted of murder should be locked up for life without parole.
  (via ThinkProgress)

• YES.
  (via The Agitator)

• Charlie Hebdo ^[pictured] is officially the gutsiest publication ever. (And let’s hear anyone ever call the French cowards again.)
  (via @radleybalko)

• “We demand a vapid, condescending, meaningless, politically safe response to this petition.” Wish (most likely will be) granted!
  (via @todayspolitics)

• Five things everyone (including Christians) thinks are in the Bible (that totally aren’t). Includes non-Satan, a very boring Grail and millions of antichrists.
  (via The Daily Grail)

• This is one of the best things ever: SMBC’s Zach Weiner takes requests on Reddit.
