Duncan Hunter and other House GOP Reps are caving in on the torture bill … they’ll adopt McCain’s language …
Stephen Hadley is conferring with them, but it looks like all of the international and internal pressure has paid off.

Good news that. Cheney must be gnashing teeth right about now.
Cheney is probably hunkered down in some dark damp place sharpening” his teeth preparatory to ripping out the throat of some poor unsuspecting creature so he can drink some blood and calm his lunatic psyche.
What I don’t understand is why are they going to ban torture when (according to this administration) we don’t torture. 🙂
What I’m bummed about is of the so-called Patriot act. They seem to have agreed to renew it for another 4 more years, although some might filibuster it
memoir of a geisha is on my mind
im obsessed with geisha….maybe for obvious reasons….and i have looked forward to this movie for a long time….im already a little perplexed at something i noticed…the geisha eye makeup seems to have been westernized….geisha use red eyeliner…it makes them look somewhat demonic….did rob marshal decide westerners wouldnt find that attractive? i really hope i dont dissect this movie all the way thru and just allow myself to enjoy it.
You’ve tasted them?
of writing and research talent on this site. I hope that it will be put to good use by helping with the 12 Days for Justice project.
We are trying to mobilize here, but we need help! It can’t be done with just a handful of us, your support and talents are needed to defeat Alito’s nomination to the SCOTUS.
This is as close to begging as I can get.
I promise I’ll check it out, Manny!
Say, I loved that lion story you linked last night, and I sent it to all my friends. We all want to know why OUR doctors don’t give us gold injections for our arthritis! Damn!
how about just handing over the gold? That’s my preference.
Cookies. Pension plans. The way my child was vociferously complaining to her teacher about how little free time she has (feel free to guffaw).
Cookies again, and why I need to cut them out. Where’s Gooserocks diet plan?
I need to have THAT talk with my daughter.
Just the top rumblings of my mind right now.

I appreciate his liberal views, but with the help of the Almighty I couln’t answer any question or envision a demilitarized Iraq.
After the U.S. led invasion of March 2003, that’s become an utopia, as much as you’ll find Adam and Eve in Mesopotamia.

Result was the reformers were aligned with pro-Bush appeasement and the hardliners took most seats in parliament.
There has been another holy man reinstated in a ME country!
Then the president turns to his recent UN address.
“On the last day when I was speaking, one of our group told me that when I started to say ‘Bismillah Muhammad’, he saw a green light come from around me, and I was placed inside this aura,” he says. “I felt it myself. I felt that the atmosphere suddenly changed, and for those 27 or 28 minutes, all the leaders of the world did not blink. When I say they didn’t move an eyelid, I’m not exaggerating. They were looking as if a hand was holding them there, and had just opened their eyes – Alhamdulillah!”
Latest Outrage – thanks George!

Well it seems the Supreme Court in all it’s fucked up unwisdom has seen fit to roll back protections for people on Social Security and Disability.
A 67 year old Seattle man who is disabled and lives in public housing on a SSD check of 874 dollars a month is going to lose 15% of his check because the ratbastards at this court say that it is ok for the government to now garnishee SS and disability incomes. Why you say..well it seems the government wants to collect on unpaid student loans and this man in the 80’s accumulated student loans then couldn’t pay it back as he became disabled…there also had been a limit on government only being able to go back 10 years on collecting on unpaid loans but now they made it infinite…so maybe some poor old lady in her 90’s that;s old/disabled may be getting a shock of 15% less on her lousy little check if she happens to have an unpaid student loan.
At between 5 to 30 billion in unpaid loans over many many years this is a fucken drop in the bucket compared to what bushco is ripping off of the taxpayers.
Now our SS and disability checks are not safe..what’s next I wonder that they will come up with to take away money from our checks..ratbastards.
What is it with these fuckers who want to squeeze the poor people/old and disabled in this disgusting way while giving corporations tons of welfare etc. This is really really sick.
Just repeat after me: Tax cuts! Tax Cuts! TAX CUTS!

It begins:
what’s on my mind? Why are you wasting your time and effort trying to get someone nominated that won’t be able to defeat the worst republican in the Senate?
Strange.
