So you conspire to trash the US Constitution, you create a policy where torture isn’t torture unless YOU or the President say it is… some people don’t like that, and this makes YOU a victim of the War on Terror?

Wonkette : Alberto Gonzales, War On Terror’s Latest Victim

Mr. Gonzales said that “for some reason, I am portrayed as the one who is evil in formulating policies that people disagree with. I consider myself a casualty, one of the many casualties of the war on terror.”

Oh the humanity! Poor misunderstood Alberto. He only wanted to turn America into the Soviet Union. How could anyone call him evil? SNIVEL–WHINE. Why can’t people see what a good little crypto-Nazi he is?

He truly pities the fool.

“Ortloff discussed engaging in various sexual acts with said ‘minors’ while conversing with them online and on the telephone,” states the plea agreement signed by Ortloff on Wednesday.

I remember a Republican party that used to be practical and interested in fiscal conservatism. Where did those Republicans go, hmm? It seems that the embrace of religious extremism has caused a death spiral for the party. Now the only thing they can do is attack, ridicule and slime the other guy.

On the positive side, it makes it much easier to find child molesters and other sex offenders: Just check the voting rolls.

“For U.S. intelligence officials, this is how some crucial battles in Afghanistan are fought and won. While the CIA has a long history of buying information with cash, the growing Taliban insurgency has prompted the use of novel incentives and creative bargaining to gain support in some of the country’s roughest neighborhoods, according to officials directly involved in such operations.”

Two things to note:

1. – The last round (involving billions of OUR dollars handed out as cash rewards) resulted in tens of thousands of completely innocent people being imprisoned and tortured by the our government. Cash is irresistable and most of these “war lords” don’t know any real terrorists, so what could you really expect?
   I remember that one guy was hung by his hands until they were dead and had to be amputated…then what do you know they decided he was innocent after all. Huh, well, sorry about the hands thing..have a nice day.
   That’s what happens when you offer millions to turn in anyone for anything.
2. – For the record, this little program makes the Americans International Drug Dealers; a death-penalty offense in Afghanistan and a life offense in America. Yep, prescription drugs handed out without a prescription.. illegal as hell. I’m sure the virulently anti-drug administration will be prosecuting these guys soon. *cough* *hypocrite bastards* *cough*

So now we’ll have another round of innocent people tortured brutalized and occasionally murdered… but all the war lords will have boners so it’s okay.

Tony Snow was a shill who made a very comfortable living covering for the incompetent criminals who are running this country at the moment.  His passing is sad for his friends and those who loved him but it’s nothing more than he deserved.

Death does not automatically transmogrify you into someone who deserves respect.  If you were a scumbag in life, when you die, you’re just a dead scumbag.

Tony Snow is a dead scumbag.
Tony Snow, 1955-2008

Wake me when someone actually buys one of these things so I can stalk them and kill them when no one’s looking.  Even if I got caught, I can’t imagine any jury convicting me.  Certainly not a jury composed of people who work for a fucking living, anyway.

With each passing day, that whole French Revolution thing looks better and better.

“Criticism — and its humble cousin, reviewing — is not a democratic
activity. It is, or should be, an elite enterprise, ideally undertaken
by individuals who bring something to the party beyond their hasty,
instinctive opinions of a book (or any other cultural object). It is
work that requires disciplined taste, historical and theoretical
knowledge and a fairly deep sense of the author’s (or filmmaker’s or
painter’s) entire body of work, among other qualities.”

Allow me to translate that for you:

“I am a PROFESSIONAL film critic.  I work for Time magazine.  You, on the other hand, live in an efficiency apartment in the Bronx and post on the Internet while wearing your bathrobe.  You are clearly inferior to me, therefore your opinions have no validity.  Keep your worthless opinions to yourself, philistine.”

These guys are REALLY intimidated by the Internet, aren’t they?  Fuck ‘em.
