Not to miss the forest, but long heavy bangs may as well be a CIA thought-control weapon. Wow. Beautiful.

Back to the forest: the US steadfastly maintains its hatred of Iran, re-stoked this time by Israel's aching desire to have its golem protect it while it bombs Iran's civilian nuclear power station. The only thing Americans know about Iran is that Iranian revolutionaries held an American spy nest (sorry, embassy) hostage in the late 70s. They know nothing of the Peacock Throne or Savak or the part America played in suppressing Iranian freedoms. Americans cannot grasp that Iran may be a nice place for people to live and may not mean anyone any harm at all. Most people in what I've seen of the world react like dogs to their programming. Couple that with a fear of books, and...

Keep up the good work. "Their tendency to act as a clique" -- Cicero

Well they could be Eastern European women enticed to emigrate to Israel who end up as sex slaves... Is that better than being stoned to death for taking a second encore?

Remember, kids, when Israel does it, it is not a human rights violation.

ie not be prosecuted for "Holocaust denial" or whatever the technique du jour is? Do I support Israel? No, not really. Do I support the US acting like a water buffalo being ridden by Israel? No, not a bit.

Ending the "war on terror" would be great. So would restoring Habeas Corpus and the rule of law. Will it happen? Don't hold your breath.

Remember when Detroit was baffled by the appeal of the VW bug? And they kept pumping out absurd giant cars with V8s? When did Detroit last innovate anything? Let them die. It has nothing to do with healthcare. It has to do with braindead suits and bad decisions over decades.

that Alton Brown demonstrated as being hideously dangerous on Good Eats..? Maybe a good gift for an ex lover, spouse or employer only, then...

What does that tell us? That Bush43, Cheney, Rumsfeld, all the "dual-citizenship" types from AIPAC and PNAC are guilty as hell but waiting to try and weasel their way out of prosecution for their war crimes, quite like the Argentine junta perps did back in the 70s.

You know what justice would look like? Not one lone psycho grunt in a cage but a gallows on the White House lawn that can serve six at a time, with Nancy "Not On The Table" Pelosi, Hammerin' Hank Reid and the rest of the gutless, useless 110th Congressional Democrats as an undercard with each and every worthless criminal bastard from the Bush43 administration serving as the main event. Live on television and the Net around the world. Hang them by the neck until dead as Saddam Hussein. Make certain to include the five Mossad agents witnessed celebrating the collapse of the WTC on 9/11/01 -- btw what was on their videotape? The first impact? That suggests significant foreknowledge from an alleged ally of hte US, does it not?

All their lies hinge on 9/11/01 -- get a hell of a big crowbar and let's flip this rock over and closely examine the subhuman life forms operating beneath it. Nothing un-American can live in the sunlight.

Because he'd red, white and blue clear through -- when they have those fascistic rallies at the beginnings of sports events and every patriotic, obedient American's heart swells at the lyrics to our national anthem ".. home of the free, and land of the brave" his face ought to be plastered, grinning, on every Jumbotron while that "detainee" dressed in trash bags and wired with electrodes is symbolically fried for no crime, kind of like a NASCAR-themed Burning Man.

The future? Picture a boot stomping on a human face... forever.

Chuck Graner is out man. Is represents the US better than anyone except possibly George W. Bush, our 43rd President.

You bought it, you paid for it, you drive it off the lot. Embrace the horror. This is what America has become. The rest of this planet knows it even though the news hasn't quite reached home yet.

"land / of the / braaaaaave" Bzzzzzzt screams of agony, fade to black.

They placed bad bets and you, your children, your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren will be paying them off. Not one CEO is in jail. Not one CEO has been shot dead by an extremely pissed-off citizen. Toxic mortgage debt? That's a Rovian piffle. Paulson's slush fund may as well be a pair of defib paddles... ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! Still flatlining..? Damn!

IRA tanked? Don't cry. Listen to the laughter of banking CEOs. Rejoice in it.

It just is. I'm positive that it was just some "lone nuts"(tm) running amok, as "lone nuts(tm) are prone/programmed to do. One thing we know for certain, and I mean beyond any shadow of a doubt, is that the Mossad had NOTHING to do with this. In fact, the Mossad is really just an Israeli version of the Shriners. They do a lot of work with children's hospitals, et cetera. Nice people. Above suspicion.

Did you think anything would really change? Freedom of choice is limited to Coke or Pepsi.

I mean, it's just a GMC truck with a different body. GM makes AWFUL trucks, remember? So why would anyone want a vehicle based on a GMC truck model? Insanity.

Some kind of corollary to the Saturn being tainted through association with GMC. GMC + busted union = Saturn. No, thanks.
