Who will be the last scum standing?
[Read the article: Karl Rove's math]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As the eulogies for the despicable Karl Rove roll in, including the war room I must disagree with the idea that Karl Rove has been successful.
I'm sorry, but Karl Rove has not been successful in anything that he has endeavored to create with George W. Bush, unless he is secretly an ancarchist. The election of George W. Bush, the reelection of George W. Bush and the tax cuts, deregulating of industry, preemptive war and Supreme Court appointments have all proven and will continue to prove absolute disasters for the United States, if not out and out crimes.
Upon leaving, Karl Rove said "I'm not going to stay or leave based on whether it pleases the mob". To the last, he expresses his utter contempt for democracy. Stealing elections, stacking courts with partisan plants, destroying the economy through unreasoned economics, starting illegal wars that suck the treasury into historic debt and cost enormous loss of life is anything but success. His order is chaos. His construction is destruction.
I have a bag of feathers, a bucket of hot tar and a really fine ash baseball bat. Is there any way I can be invited to his going away party?

yeah but...
[Read the article: If it's Sony, it's more dangerous laptop batteries]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sony led the way in revolutionizing battery technology. My first experience with their quantum leap is when they came out with their TRV 900 camera... which had a battery that would last three or four hours. This camera was replacing my Canon Hi-8... a camera that had been state of the art five or six years before... and with luck... could run nearly 45 minutes with their best battery.
Now..here we are a tech lifetime from that time, and a few of their batteries are heating up. It will all work out....

hoooooraaaaayyyy JUSTICE .....HOZANNNAAAA TO THE HIGHEST........ YIPPPEEEEEEEEE.....
[Read the article: Padilla: Guilty until proved guilty]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So.... the guy that they tortured for three and a half years years...til he was crazy... and then put up in front of a court to say they are the good guys and know for a fact he is a bad guy got convicted.....

If you ask me... you only need to look at the clowns escorting him to realize what a sham it all is... I mean... look at the costuming....the sunglasses... the over-the-top side arm holster...one guy is wearing gloves... presumably for when he rappels down the side of a building to crash through a window and foil those islamoterrorists....and the go fast sunglasses...... really not sure why they are wearing the '70's style headphones. (which they call 'cans' ... 'cause they're cool and have the lingo down)... and they say things like TACK instead of tactical...and 'copy that' instead of 'yeah'....
and then there is the terrorist....in his bright orange... shackled from head to toe... his eyes blinking in the sunlight that he hasn't seen for three and a half years, while locked up in solitary without charge. He's wearing menacing looking librarian glasses.... and he looks like he has been on a terrorist training diet of too much starch, sugar and poor quality institutional food.... the fool doesn't even have a watch. OF COURSE HE"S GUILTY....

What happens when the caretakers of the constitution ignore the constitution...
[Read the article: Who needs benchmarks when you can just miss deadlines?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Funny how the asshole junta of the Bush administration would blab on and on about the rule of law and a nation of laws etc.... and then ignore any and all laws that didn't suit their own ambitions of totalitarian government. It was unassailable when they controlled all three branches of government... but now that they only control two... well... they may never face the firing squad music that they should.... but since they removed the need to follow laws... I should be happy to put them all in a canvas sack and beat them with a baseball bat......

End times....
[Read the article: Is this how we support the troops?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Working our way towards spending a trillion dollars on an illegal war... and we cannot afford armor for the overpriced vehicles we already have? Somebody is stealing all the money this war is costing... since it obviously isn't being spent on troop safety. Billions of dollars being spent each month... and we can't uparmor 3500 vehicles in a year. By the way, this can only prove that the surge is not and can never work....as we do not have a functioning machine as our military. Only pirates and profiteers stealing from the taxpayers and living off the blood of our soldiers. Thanks George. You really fucked up.

George Bush lying to us?
[Read the article: New NIE on Iraq: The prognosis is grim]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hey now... but George Bush, why jist the other day said that he said that Maliki was a "good guy"... so... what are you trying to say? That the Bushists are lying? That they are telling stories that are contrary to the actual intelligence? How is that possible? Why, if that were true, are they still in office?

You know you're fucked when:....
[Read the article: "There is no report because I haven't written it"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You know you're fucked when the Ambassador to the country you are occupying in an illegal war refers to elements of the horrible situation as "existential issues"....
My goodness. Really. Worse yet, this is part of his dog ate the homework excuse as to why there is no report on the mess that he is presiding over.
At what point can we begin legal proceedings against the major actors in this tragedy?
