I ONLY WISH I WAS MAKING UP THIS SHIT.
White House Stands Behind Rove Comments. Quelle Suprise! Well OF COURSE they do. Because they’re all blowing each other. “I blow you, you blow me, we’re a blow job family...." It’s just one big BLOW fest. The Rude Pundit – one of my favorite bloggers in the whole world and I WILL see his one-man show at the NY International Fringe Festival in August – makes a great point. Yesterday’s Post. Go. Now.
Cheney Says Guantanomo Prisoners Well Fed. Well, DickMeister, I’m sure they are! I’m sure they’re livin’ la vida loco and lovin’ life. Being hog-tied and lying in your own excrement is any man’s idea of paradise! What’s not to love? Good times. Good times.
U.S. doctors linked to POW `torture' Guantanamo medical records misused basis of interrogators' strategy: Report. "Since late 2003, psychiatrists and psychologists (at Guantanamo) have been part of a strategy that employs extreme stress, combined with behaviour-shaping rewards, to extract actionable intelligence from resistant captives," it states. Such tactics are considered torture by many authorities, the authors note. Medical personnel belonging to the U.S. military's Southern Command have also been told to volunteer to interrogators information they believe may be valuable, the report adds………That contradicts Pentagon statements that there is a separation between intelligence-gathering and patient care. Hmmmm. "Volunteer." How long before medical personnel are the ones being interrogated – and tortured?
Poll Finds Most Oppose Return to Draft “Most Americans don't want to see the return of the military draft, although men, older Americans and Republicans were most likely to say it's a good idea, an AP-Ipsos poll found.” NO SHIT.
Funds for Health Care of Veterans $1 Billion Short The $1 billion shortfall emerged during an administration midyear budget review and was acknowledged only during lengthy questioning of Jonathan B. Perlin, VA undersecretary for health, by House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Steve Buyer (R-Ind.) at a hearing yesterday. "We weren't on the mark from the actuarial model," Perlin testified. Is it the incompetence of these YAY-hoos that is unconscionable? Or the Lies? Well both, plus the fact that veterans’ suffering is compounded – if they make it home at all - by this administration’s incompetence and lies.
16 to 25? Pentagon Has Your Number, and More “The Defense Department and a private contractor have been building an extensive database of 30 million 16-to-25-year-olds, combining names with Social Security numbers, grade-point averages, e-mail addresses and phone numbers.” And they began doing this in 2002. I’ll just let that sink in.
HEAR! HEAR!
Scoundrel city: Reckless Republicans use troops as human shields “Repeat after me: "War, bad; troops, good." See, it's possible to say something and to mean it as well…………. I'll tell you what endangers our troops: Greedy, cretinous toad leaders who send them 12,000 miles away to a desert to fight a war based on lies.” THANK YOU WILL DURST!
The Loneliness of a Lonestar Liberal "The activists I've met over the past month and a half in Texas are dedicated and determined. Unlike progressive-leaning places like San Francisco, New York and Washington DC, activists here face strong and often hostile opposition." Tell it, Sister! Tell it!
THIS JUST IN.....
A Premature Attack. Pro-Bush group's ad faults Democrats for criticisms they haven't yet made, about a Supreme Court nominee who hasn't been named, to a vacancy that doesn't yet exist. Gotta love it!
Just what is the state of the Dickmeister's health? Arianna is hot on the trail.
