    Even adnauseum is less of an ass (although his inability to spell Courts Martial is a bit tiresome; I expect that from the idiots, but not from an ex-Marine.) -- Holly McLachlan

    It's former Marine please and sometimes even the more intelligent leftist Marines like myself are idiots. I was in a bit of a rush when I wrote that but it was an idiotic mistake. Good that you pointed it out.

    As for Art Guerrilla... I am with him. As of your post that I am quoting from, no one has bothered to adress the content of either of our postings. Why do you think that is?

    You know how Glenn and most of the centrist commenters here like to complain about the how media and pundits who were so wrong about the war still hold their information disseminating positions? How do you think we (people like AG and I) view Glenn and you work-within-the-system "pragmatists?" How's that electing more Democrats to solve the problems working out? How do you suppose new "this time we mean it!" anti-torture laws are going to work out?
