Yes, that's right. LondonLad said he wanted to hear more Sartre.
Ja, w...needs to b...gonne. To protect himself from those nasty terrurists ya know.
TLDR is the most popular usage.
You can find many examples of it here:

Along with plenty of QQ, which means "Cry More" (The two Qs looks like a set of crying eyes).
Interwebbers are very clever.
Well, he didn't have to do anything. I'm about as cynical regarding Democrats "action" as anyone, but putting pressure on Obama is what we're talking about isn't it? The netroots rally around Dodd had a positive effect, no? At least initially?
Perhaps Conyers drew the short stick and so is simply going through the motions to provide some sort of political capital and in the case of prosecutions "something is not better than nothing," unless something is prosecutions. But good Dog, you gotta start somewhere.
I'm becoming worried you're breaking from your pattern, which usually goes: Israel-Torture-Israel-Torture. Have you turned over a new leaf for the New Year?
Indefinite detention of terrorists and their supporters was and remains a most appropriate response to the killing of thousands of Americans.
Thank you for including the quote for modern human rights. But for it to be truly modern there will have to be a line about "freedom of thought." New technology has shown that intrepretation of brain waves has enabled scientists to "read" human thoughts. The public is never aware of how far the technology has really advanced. In Great Britain they demonstrated a "mind reading" device at a science exhibit. You can Google on it to find articles available. Apparently, they can send as well as receive thought with these gadgets. Pretty Sci-Fi but the point is our laws never keep up with the new technology. The new FISA is probably outdated already. The intelligence agencies don't tell us all their secrets, I'm sure. Another problem is CIA use of psychological torture. According to them, it's not damage unless it takes years for it to show up. By that time, it's gone on for years and symptoms finally emerge. The buzz word for harassment by covert operatives is domestic terror, and terror alone is capable of causing insanity.
I'm deeply troubled about this topic and apologize for bringing this up in the middle of an Obama accountability discussion, but your modern human rights quote prompted some things. When Glenn reported about the scientist suspected in the Anthrax case, he suggested the FBI may have "recruited" the man's family to wear him down, get evidence, etc. In effect, the people he most loved may have turned against him, obliterating his emotional support until he committed suicide.
I consider these topics to be part of the conditions and effects of the surveillance state. There is no more important human rights concern confronting us now than restoration of our human liberties and transparency regarding warrantless surveillance. It is a fact that over zealousness and rule breaking occurs during those times when greater liberties are allowed law enforcement and intelligence operatives. Investigation and curtailance of the surveillance program on Americans should be a priority during Obama's administration.
Not sure what they taught you at NYU, but apparently not writing:
Nonsensical sentence from lame blog,
As if the government in the United States hasn’t learned its lesson from continually harassing and persecuting polygamists the government of Canada now got in the act.
or reading:
From today's UT,
We just witnessed the results of that dynamic with the ugly spectacle last week of a virtually unanimous Congress approving a completely one-sided Israel/Gaza Resolution
BTW, no mentions of Paris Hilton or Real Housewives of Orange County on your blog in days! Vacuous twit.
GARCIN: Et à quoi les reconnaît-on les bourreaux, s'il vous plaît?
INÈS: Ils ont l'air d'avoir peur.
GARCIN: Peur? C'est trop drôle. Et de qui? De leurs victimes?
INÈS: Allez! Je sais ce que je dis. Je me suis regardée dans la glace.

GARCIN: And, how are you so great at identifying torturers?
INEZ: They look frightened.
GARCIN: Frightened? Ridiculous! Of whom? Of their victims?
INEZ: Laugh away, but I know what I'm talking about. I've often watched myself in the mirror.
The AP's Larry Margasak says today the Democratic staff of the House Judiciary Committee is calling for a criminal investigation into Bush administration officials to see if they broke the law "in the name of national security."
AP says the committee wants a 9-11-style commission formed - with subpoena power - to look into:
1. U.S. interrogation of foreign detainees
2. warrantless wiretapping
3. retribution against critics
4. manipulation of intelligence
5. the political dismissal of U.S attorneys
Fire Dog Lake has a clip of Rachel Maddow talking to Air Force Major David Frakt, Jawad's defense council. Worth a watch:

I don't know (maybe RMP or someone does), but he's saying all these things in uniform, so he's being allowed to represent the military, or at least the Air Force JAG Office, to the public with what he says, at this point, no?
every country under the sun; nationals from around 70 different countries were killed in New York that day. From your perspective, nobody else exists but Americans. Around 3,000 were killed and I know of one child who was with her mother on one of the lethal planes. Yes, the attack on Gaza is more drawn-out and involves far more than the two planes barging into the Twin Towers as the death-toll of children escalates with each passing day. That won't get you too worked-up because the children in the Gaza Ghetto are just Palestinian ragamuffins.
You haven't mentioned Israel in three days GlennI'm becoming worried you're breaking from your pattern, which usually goes: Israel-Torture-Israel-Torture. Have you turned over a new leaf for the New Year?

Well, isn't that special.
Our very own Paris Hilton groupie decides to tell Glenn what to write about.
Kid, I read your posts in the archieves here and guess what. About 50% of your posts concern Israel in some manner, another 25% concern gay rights, about 5% are criticizing Camile Paglia for one thing or another, 5% are about Hollywood crap,1% are about burritos, and the balance are about how you wanted your cat to die during dental surgery. Oh! You don't like one airline or another, I forgot that one.
Maybe Glenn will favor us with a column on cats. Would that make you happy?
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
