It's "counsel" . . . not "council" . . .; unless you're talking about 10 lawyers sitting around a conference table and voting on zoning legislation.

and walks like a duck, and fucks like a duck . . . dude, it's a duck.

But the good news is, the life span of a mallard is like 15-20 years, so if the duck is passed the age of consent, how long can the quacking marriage last???

Especially when 4 (Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Alito) of the six aren't just yer garden variety Catholics - - they're right wing Opus Dei nutcase Catholics of the Papal infallibility genre.

Kennedy is a little more moderate, and I'm sure Sotomayor is, too.

Couple of weeks back when the Department of Homeland Security's report on potential domestic terror activities surfaced, the right wing went totally friggin' berserk when Christian fundamentalists, survivalist nutcases and the like were profiled as possible threats.

Right wing commentators nearly caused a riot racing to their microphones to be the first to complain about an ominous new threat of governmental surveillance of upstanding Us citizens. You'd a thunk Obama rather than Bush had commissioned the study.

In spite of the fact that over the past 30 years virtually all of the most egregious example of organized internal violence have come from the right (from Oklahoma City to abortion clinic bombings to assassinations of doctors) the dominant theme of the Right is that the godless forces of secularism and evolution are a threat to the American way of life, American exceptionalism, our freedoms, marriage, the family and all of the other sacred institutions so dear to the heart of the hegemonic Right.

Why would any detainee plead guilty? UNLESS OF COURSE he was being beaten with a rubber hose or water-boarded to help him make up his mind?

This sounds like some scheme hatched from the mind of sick fuck Dick Cheney . . . NOT from the Obaminator.

Take it easy on yourself!

that nobody leads the GOP, it's an odd assortment of retards, throwbacks, has-beens, never-wases, religious nutcases and corporate shills.

The last time the GOP had a "leader" who did not deserve to go to prison it was 1959 and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

that if the truth about what the intelligence community has done, is doing and will do were ever revealed. they would ALL go to jail.

and in fact ignored nearly daily warnings, including but not limited to the infamous August 01 memo Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside US.

Why ignored? Cheney was so goddam busy meeting with Enron criminals, Oil Company weasels and Halliburton lackeys. The invasion of Iraq and its concommitant $27,000,000,000.00 in no-bid contracts for Halliburton made Cheney $7,000,000.00.

Want another attack? He'd probably cream his Depends. He would be VINDICATED!!!!

Xrandadu Hutman: Ewwww.

I appreciate your sentiment, but I stand by my statement!

who are, after all, war criminals. So thanks so fucking much . . .

with my ski mask, Glock .40 and carefully assembled note for the teller . . . I may have circumvented legal guidelines and overstepped my authority when I overcollected and improperly obtained all the loose change in the cash drawers.

Fortunately, I have some friends in Congress, and they've assured me they're working on a retroactive immunity bill so we can put his incident behind us and move ahead.

@rbs000: Yep, our country is getting so fucking safe I think I may have to move to Belize just to get a little risk into my life . . .

@BriGuy301: Thanks for the tip about legal representation on the banking matter . . . I've got a bagful of cash, have you got a number for Holder so I can make an appointment to drop off his retainer??

Everything else will resolve itself in time. I came home early one afternoon and found my daughter and her boyfriend dry-humping on the floor of vestibule.

Stepping over them, I mused aloud that the tile they were writhing on looked pretty uncomfortable.

C'est la vie.

. . . and, in the end - due to his timidity - will be a Trail of Tears.

Alas.

stupider than David Gregory??

Rumsfeld is an incompetent administrator who tried to run the Iraq War on the cheap and wound up killing 4000+ of our troops and getting another 20,000+ maimed.

He piggybacked his incompetency by leaping onto the torture bandwagon to get his war crimes ticket punched..

One wonders if Rummy has actually ever provided positive service to our country.

I have a feeling Graham is less critical . . .

I'm guess I'm less interested in Bradley's take on Rumsfeld's involvement in aspartame than I am in his take on Rumsfeld's participation in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the American people, foment war with Iraq and torture detainees in violation of US law and treaty.

But I guess this asswipe Bradley is on board with a little head busting when the occasion demands answers??

I thought the job was to convey criticism TO the powers that be . . . not make lame, illogical and pathetic excuses why the status quo was, is and will be.

in the 60's and 70's to protest an illegal and unnecessary war in Vietnam.

In 1970, when 4 students were murdered at Kent State and 2 more were killed at Jackson State, the Right was screaming they shoulda killed all of 'em!

What's that you say?

You don't have ONE MILLION DOLLARS??

Then why would you think you can expect Obama to pay any attention top YOU????

Because, otherwise, why in the world would anyone want that colossal monument to the Legend in his Own Mind to have new office space in Albany??

What with Mark Sanford trying to fall back in love with his wife and Sarah Palin challenging Obama to a marathon . . . can't we just cut to the main event: a mud-wrestling match between Sarah the slutty flight attendant and the less bulemiac Meghan McCain . . .

and having SBA, the contractor for the white elephant hockey rink, use materials paid for by Wasilla to build Todd & Sarah's $500,000 lakeside McMansion?

Sarah might have a second career playing a slutty Federal inmate in the up[coming reality show: Stone Bars Do Not A Prison Make . . . . the kids text it SBDNAPM
