In the land of the blind, is the one-eyed man king? No, of course not, he is hunted down and his one eye is torn out of its socket for his own good.

I'm reconsidering sobriety -- perhaps the only way to live contentedly in the USA is to be permanently intoxicated to the point where thought is not an option. Just stand there drooling with a made-in-China plastic flag in your hand as the 4th of July parade rolls by...

Did the members of the Roman Senate not all give him a stab apiece? Why would this not work today? Cheney is clearly out of control and a genuine danger to what's left of the Republic.

I don't expect my local fascist Representative to act, but why do I keep hearing from Feinstein and Boxer that "impeachment is off the table" -- if someone was in my home, stealing my things and hurting my kids, would I want to just wait until their term expired or their got tired of violating my home and my family?

What the fuck is going on? I'm becoming even more angry with the Democrats than I already was with the Republicans. I'd like to see Washington DC destroyed by a God-sent meteorite, Biblical-style. They're ALL shit. Is this why you never see a politician in a public setting? Do they fear being ripped to shreds by angry citizens? They ought to!

Are not doing anything. How much more of a mountain of crimes would you need to see from the Branch-of-government-formerly-known-as-the-Executive to be spurred into action?

They want to see you, Alberto. They want to get close to you and express their affection and respect for you with both hands. Come closer, Alberto. We have something we want to give you. Would you prefer hemp or nylon rope?

because she comes on right before Alton Brown's Good Eats. Without what cleavage she can muster her show would be completely uninteresting. If I watch Giada, it's with the sound off. Nice boobs.

So when they violate international law (again) and sucker-punch Iran, US troops will be between Iran and Israel. Tell me I'm wrong.

Lieberman is a piece of shit.

One day before Bush43 is supposed to leave office, suppose a "national emergency" were to occur. Well, he'd just HAVE to remain in office, now, wouldn't he? One more false-flag "terror" operation and Bush43 can assume de facto dictatorial powers.

Rat in a drain ditch / caught on a limb

You know better but I know him

Ouch. Was that time billable?

Vacuous, self-absorbed, stupid, rich, arrogant... what's not to like? HEY! DO YOU HAVE OIL? WE WANT IT! WE'RE COMIN' IN!

Psst Bush43 -- get rid of Cheney and watch your approval rating skyrocket up to 29%...

Isn't this what that Scientologist Sheriff in LA did with Paris Hilton's jail sentence not long ago to great disapproval?

Is this what Bush43 hopes will be his own fate? "They'll let me go because, gee whiz, I'm one of the guys and all..."

And that was a plea bargain to spare his family time. But Scooter helps obfuscate the origins of our illegal, immoral rape and occupation of Iraq and he skates?

No? Some other Israeli leader? Not this guy, right? This isn't the Israeli leader that was convicted of rape? That was some other Israeli leader, yes? Not Olmert. But it was the Israeli PRESIDENT that was convicted of rape, is that it? He was the one convicted of rape. Not Olmert.

Did you read much about the Israeli PRESIDENT's being convicted of rape?

Cheney first. Then Bush43. What are they waiting for?

That makes even Ghouliani look appealing in comparison. Hillary Clinton? Nothing doing -- no way.

Your search - Katsav rape source:cnn - did not match any documents.

Your search - Katsav rape source:new_york_times - did not match any documents.

I guess they figured it wasn't news. Were there not enough sex slaves in Israel for Katsav to empty himself into? He had to rape a woman in his official residence? Nice.

It's especially odd given that the Israeli press was all over Clinton's dalliance. Which, I believe, was consensual.

Olmert's just a war criminal. Nothing to see here, folks, move along. It's of no consequence that Hamas is the popular government of Palestine. Abbas is easier to work with, so...

Do they think that no one is paying attention? Support the troops! Get them out of Iraq! NOW, not incrementally to help your re-election chances. It's like discussing managing a rape -- should we slow down? Partially withdraw? NO, it was and is a crime. GET. OUT. NOW.

here in America.

But at least The Lobby won't be able to find fault with him. Particularly egregious was Bollinger's parroting of the "wiped off the map" lie -- that mistranslation has been thoroughly debunked.

It was enlightening to note which media outlets were the most rabid about Ahmadinejad's visit. Clearly, the myth of Zionist influence over the media is... um, er... well, it was enlightening.

When does Bollinger insult Olmert and quiz him about his rape charges, corruption, nuclear arsenal, genocidal campaign, et cetera? Can't wait!

Certainly any group that had suffered a genocidal campaign would want all existing records made public and accessible to researchers in order to document the scope and scale of the atrocities. The recently released Nazi-era records ought to be made fully available via the Internet so that the true number of victims can be completely understood.

And Iran is indeed completely within its rights to pursue nuclear power. Read the treaty. No crime has been committed, no treaty has been broken.

What, then, is all the excitement about regarding Iran, other than Rove/Bush43/Cheney wanting to distract from their hideous misadventure in Iraq? Or is it Israel pushing the PNAC element in Washington to further usurp established governments in the region?
