MSNBC Guest Says Clinton "Blowjob" On Live TV

Marcy Wheeler is an awesome force.... and funny too.

Her blog is worth following.

Why would anyone apologize for telling the truth and in language that really wouldn't offend a young audience?

Not Soon Enough

If only they were a major oil producer, or not situated so close to other totalitarian regimes, they may have been liberated during the cowboy years, instead of harmless Iraq.

Sadly, the only resource in North Korea is suffering.

Wacked

Guess what? Chicken butt.
Still a favorite line from Home Alone ;)
Well the GOP will be home alone for decades to come if they continue to ignore news like this...

Only 6% of scientists are Republican.

Not surprising really but it does drive home a point.
The GOP are openly talking their future voter viability these days, losing the Latino and minority vote, not embracing new technology but one thing I haven't heard them confess is that most Republicans don't have their heads in the 21st century, let alone the 20th century.

There will be a gradual return to science and reason over religious based ideas with the Obama administration and at some point the GOP will have to confess to themselves, hey, the world really isn't 6000 years old, Jesus didn't really ride dinosaurs and not surprisingly, the public thinks we're a bunch of ignorant wackos.
Hell, we are a bunch of ignorant, immoral , hypocrite wackos.

Seriously, if their religious views are to dominate their thinking, or lack of thinking, then the Dems despite being a frustrating, disjointed rabble, will continue to win and slowly move a progressive agenda forward.
Thank God.

Where's The Cool?

The Frenchman and the Italian are doing what they do on cue and without hesitation but the Canadian would have been way cooler if he had chivalrously helped to pick up the papers... instead of pretending to adjust his tie.

Be Careful Gentlemen...

Grrrrrrrrr...

Cons are all the same whether it's Steve or Palin, they all think that they can manipulate every one's opinions of them with a kitten in the lap or a wink and a folksy expression.
Maybe the stupid out there can be...

It's what you do in office that gives people a favorable impression about you.

If I get one more fucking flyer in my door from my Con MP telling me how I must be afraid of Michael Ignatieff because he's been successful out of the country for 34 years...I don't care if he's been out of the country for 340 years...is he a better person with better ideas and policies than Steve the Con? Why would I fucking care?
Even if he was just visiting he'd probably still be better than the Cons.

Stop insulting me to death with this crap.

Play Sarah Palin off, Keyboard Cat

Even keyboard cat thinks lady gaga has gone over the top this time...she quit as mayor, she quit the energy board and now she's quitting as governor,...she's childish, an inveterate liar and foremost... a quitter. Play her off please.

Ya Betcha' She's Outta Here

She says she's quitting because of this kind of stuff...bull shit..this is funny, it's free speech, it's what you get in politics... and what happened to the pit bull in lipstick? Stop parading your kids around like political stage props and using Bristol in abstinence tours .....and this kind of stuff would probably stop.

She's not quitting because of ethics complaints either, as there's no ethics process in Alaska, the complaints go before a 3 person panel appointed and fired by her...so the fix is in there...and she'll keep winning those.

It's more likely the bail out is due to impending criminal charges that she can't control through the FBI or IRS.

For example, this fantastic dream home that Todd says he and some buddies threw together one weekend, with no prior construction skills and sorry no receipts or permits as Mayor Palin at that exact time suspended the need for building permits etc. and it has all of the same industrial windows and materials used in the overpriced no bid 13 million dollar arena down the street...the contractor? the same ones that helped sink Ted Stevens' renovations...and you're probably thinking, hey, that house has way too many windows, well when you're a building contractor supporting Todd's snow machine racing and hoping for favors...I'm sure windows can get real cheap.
If there are no any impending scandals or legal bombshells, then we would have to assume that she is simply quitting politics all together. She couldn't survive a primary election run off as a half term quitter governor...could she?

Well, good luck to the snow billy grifters.

Gettin' Mavericky

Gettin' out before the shit hits the fan?
You betcha.

Stupid and an asshole..too many people are too dumb to be parents....play her off for sure o' wise keyboard cat...muahahaha.

Former Interrogator Rebukes Cheney for Torture Speech

Conservative Radio Host Mancow Waterboarded! Says It's ABSOLUTLY TORTURE!

" I would confess to anything..."

Anything?

Even made up ties between Al-Qaeda and Iraq to justify an invasion to steal oil?

The Cheneys next please...oh hell, how about all of the former Bush administration?

How to Lose Friends and Not Influence People

At least he's against torture...but inexplicably, he would rather look forward then to investigate and prosecute past abuses...which is the only way to prevent abuse in the future, meaning you're not seriously against torture now?

Plus it's the law to investigate.

The pictures can't be that bad since the CIA would never allow the public to see extreme American abuse anyway.

Crime and Punishment

A guilty conscience prevents any escape from punishment.

A nation can't absolve crimes by looking forward as the Catholic Church absolves sin.

All of the Bush Raskolnikovs need to be investigated. It's unlikely there would be any sentencing but only the truth will set the nation free.

An American Dream

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere


A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

(Chorus)
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night


Working hard to get my fill,
everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on


The crappy music and lyrics of Journey, so small town American inspiring...

An American Dream by Norman Mailer, liberating the tortured psyche through violence and sex...

So how does a rural 17 year old gal working as a clerk at the local supermarket in West Virginia end up a year later exposing herself and pulling her panties over a stranger's head as he's tortured by a small town boy in a far away country that had nothing to do with 911, in fact a country that had never threatened the U.S.?

The above pics are from the interrogation room at Abu Ghraib, the requirements were sexual degradation and lots of pain, break down the detainees to confess their involvement with terrorism by claiming that they're gay and that everyone will be told that they performed homosexual acts here.

Most events will never be known, the worst pics and videos destroyed by the CIA to avoid prosecution.

But the questions remain and multiply, the longer we go without thorough investigations.
Perhaps like the main character in An American Dream, Bush and his ilk found liberation in the needless suffering of others but at what cost?
How many died in Iraq, how many lives were ruined?
Over 100 detainees that we know about died while in U.S. custody, many died while being tortured.
And what moral person could not feel compelled to find out everything that happened and why?

The Magic of Light

Pictures of the risen Christ?

Just the mundane torture of a detainee at Abu Ghraib, now transformed from a senseless horror at the hands of Bush's front line amateur inquisitors to an apocalypse of good versus evil.


And Jesus wept.

Heavy Trash "Dark Haird Rider"

Some Heavy Trash in honor of the new Bristol Palin abstinence works tour, weeks after the initial abstinence isn't realistic outing...hmmmm....rather suspicious turn around here?

The mom has laid down the law me thinks.

Baby daddy Levi is the lone voice of reason in the feud, admitting that sex education is the only realistic way to bring down spiking teen pregnancies.

And Heavy Trash? This awful group has suddenly become interesting after 1 good video.

I may become a heavy trash fan but then I'd have to move to Wassila, Alaska's valley trash capital but Sarah's relatives would be breaking into my house all the time for Oxycontin money and who needs that crap?

If The President Does It!

If the President does it??
Ah...actually no... not if the President is too corrupt and too stupid to be expected to do the right thing...ever.

What else to expect from former oil industry executives but lies?
Interesting too, how cowardly evil men can attract otherwise intelligent sycophants who lose sight of what's important, reality so to speak.

She strikes out with college students at Stanford then gets tripped up by 4th graders who are no easier to bull shit. At this rate, a full confession should follow shortly.


Bush and his cronies, people without conscience shielding themselves from the reality of their personality disorders, shielding themselves from what they've done, what laws they've broken, from whom they have harmed.

If there was a conscience any where among them, one of them would have intervened in the Abu Ghraib trials and disciplining to say, wait, it was administration policy from the top down, we should have been charged, not these lowly soldiers, don't blame or punish them for our policies.

That type of conscience does not exist with the Bush cabal.

What Every Creationist Must DENY

The video is a bit long but clearly shows the futility of the Creationist position.

Alison has posted on another wacky intrusion in Alberta, quell surprise.

Tortured Excuses

Condi's got the Biden gaffe bug. In one fell swoop with a single sentence she implicates Bush officially as the torture deciding ring leader and implicates herself as part of a plan to authorize illegal torture.

This video would be devastating evidence in an investigation or trial, assuming justice is for more than just Presidential sexual peccadilloes.

Sorry, wrong excuse. It's just that there's too much going on now to tear the nation apart with the horror of a corrupt Republican administration, except that during the Nixon trials there was also a war going on and economic crisis and of course, the networks would love the ratings boost.


The U.S. signed a treaty (under Reagan ) that requires them to investigate and prosecute torture.
Wouldn't you love to see these liars thoroughly exposed under oath? No one would be sentenced sadly, but the national conscience would finally be cleared and legal obligations to treaties would be met.
