So Unfair

How could they possibly want to send Charles “Chuckie” Taylor Jr. to jail? All he did was use a couple advanced interrogation techniques.
Taylor, a U.S. citizen and son of former Liberian President Charles Taylor, was convicted of using electric shocks, molten plastic, lit cigarettes, hot clothes irons, bayonets and even biting ants against opponents of [...]
Our Favorite Old Game
Tuesday, December 30, 2008
It’s time again to say things like, “Both the Palestinians and the Israelis need to take a step back and end the fighting because they’re both flawed and both have done wrong.” And when you hear someone say it, you supposed to nod sagely. How wise. How even-handed. You’re such a good person for agreeing. [...]
Blago
Tuesday, December 30, 2008
I realize that it’s quite fashionable nowadays to be pissed off at Rod Blagojevich for appointing Roland Burress to Illinois’ empty Senate seat. Now that Blagojevich has been arrested and will surely soon be convicted, the next Congress and the Democratic Party will wear the stain of scandal for the next few years. We all [...]
Our Very Short Memories
Monday, December 29, 2008
I’ve heard the idea expressed in idle conversation and in respectable printed news sources that President Obama will be more magnanimous with social programs and better about financial equality because he grew up a poor kid.
Apparently we’ve all forgotten Bill Clinton, who also grew up a poor kid, and who pushed Welfare Reform, which was [...]
And I’m Proud To Be An American
Monday, December 29, 2008
They’re flocking to America from all over the globe in search of a dream: To gallivant through our abandoned lots — the finest foreclosed properties in all the free world — so that they may skateboard in our drained swimming pools of Freedom, Capitalism, and Democracy.
“There are more pools right now than I could possibly [...]
The Double-Reverse Glittering Generality
Saturday, December 27, 2008
In the 22 minute message to his congregation placed on his website last Sunday, Warren first denied ever “equating gay partnership with incest and pedophilia” — which Maddow quickly disproved with a clip of him doing just that — and then went on to attack his critics for their “false accusations, attacks, outright lies, and [...]
How Conservatives Think: Fucking
Friday, December 26, 2008
Here’s a piece by Dennis Prager, conservative leader, titled When a Woman Isn’t in the Mood, which lets you know what husbands and wives should do when the husband is in the mood for you know what but the wife isn’t. SPOILER: She should have sex anyway.
It is an axiom of contemporary marital life that [...]
Blogocide

Meanwhile, the incoming administration is still looking hard for someone to be CIA director. Everyone’s apparent first choice, John Brennan, a former deputy director, ran into a firestorm of Internet criticism when word circulated of his near-pending nomination. Liberal bloggers argued that Brennan had tolerated aggressive interrogation techniques or even torture while at the agency. [...]
No Backsies?

President Bush is un-pardoning Isaac R. Toussie, who he just pardoned the other day, based on “new evidence.” I have no idea what “new evidence” they could have come up with that you couldn’t find by Googling for “Isaac R. Toussie” and finding out that he’s a total creep,. Whatever. The real question here is: [...]
