...nominations show, which aired Wednesday night on CBS, may have been the recording academy's attempt at injecting some life into the process, but it was also aggressively dull. It turns out there isn't much tension in announcing the five possible best things in a category or in watching the Foo Fighters, Christina Aguilera and Celine Dion perform "classic songs from Grammy history." At least the Grammy folks did a credible job of picking the best music of the 12 months between Oct. 1, 2007, through Sept. 30, 2008 (even if their ancient rules still haven't adjusted...

...alive and arrested, Ajmal Amir Kasab, has been identified by Indian authorities as Pakistani. (The other nine suspects were killed by police.) U.S. intelligence officials have pointed to a Pakistan-based militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiba, as the likely perpetrator.

...accused the Congress of cooking up charges against the arrested Hindu right-wingers, while the Congress has been accusing the BJP of playing a double-game of pointing fingers at the Congress while lending a hand to Hindu-fundamentalist terrorists. Mumbai has been a focus of the tension between the parties, as several of the so-called Hindu terror arrests have taken place in or near the city. Perhaps the size and scale of this most recent attack will force the country's political leaders to finally push through a long-shelved proposal to co-ordinate intelligence on terror incidents...
