And, beware teeth.

I've been wanting to ask you about something my RWA father sent me a short time ago. I wondered if you'd written it too? ;-}

It does not surprise me that the people at Snopes are California liberals. It's just like a bunch of left wing loonies to insist that there might be some absolute truth that is independent of what our side needs in order to win.

If there's one thing I hate about liberals more than their moral relativism, it's that.

You take my breath away.

Alas, if only Harry Reid felt the same way. Or at least Vivian Schiller over at NPR. Sadly, I imagine both of them would just think something like, "Hmm, handy — but a little long. Take out 'undocumented' and I could use it in my next speech..."

Excellent marketing if you ask me. Only some batshit crazy foreigner wouldn't want to get in on a good deal like that and be Uncle Sam's long-term guest at Club Gitmo?

It's because they hate our freedoms.

Not that this is a big scoop or indicative of where the site will go, but I found this clip entertaining.

she doesn't read very carefully, reason very critically, type very accurately, or know much about anything . . . but I bet she's a real venerated elder of the Boalt Hall cocktail weenie circuit with her old fella on her arm telling all his highbrow SF lawyer buddies what a big fat nobody you are and how the paperBible (referencing Mediaite) only lists you as #10 which is why she spends 5 days a week in your comments section trying to edumacate all your dopey "followers" that what you say is only "opinion" and therefore not as relevant or important as the "fact filled real news" that appears in the pages of the paperBible as copied down by stenographic professionals like Mojo and little Tommy Friedman.

And by the by bernie you do know that even though the word "professional" has been wildly diluted to the point of being irrelevant it technically only applies to individuals with a doctoral level degree from a university i.e. lawyers, doctors, PhDs etc. . . . not jocks, or journalists generally or MBAs or plumbers or stay at home grandmas who don't think knowing how to type accurately is a valuable skill.

there has always been journalist who don't do a good job check out the facts and substantiate their sources, and sometimes it take rouges to get a good story.

She also had lots of inventive places to store weapons.

Mona can back me up on this. ;-}

a masterpiece

Gee I never saw you mentioned in the NYT print version.

You don't read your favorite paperBible very carefully then.

pwetending he just doesn't see ? ? ?

a *LOT*, a WHOLE LOT...

ho ho ho

and this interminable series of similar (yet singular!) incidents which are only rarely revealed by either intrepid reporting and/or too-rare whistleblowers (although it is no wonder, given how The System (tm) abuses them) demonstrate either :

A. a working system which -by golly and molly's knickers!- just *somehow* manages to nearly always produce incompetent, stupid, blind, and anti-citizen legislators, who -gosh darn it to heck!- *somehow* always produce pro-bidness, pro-power elite, pro-profit, and anti-people legislation which showers money on the korporations out of the pockets of 90% of us... somehow...

ha ha ha

OR,

B. a corrupt system which is bent to the will of the power elites, who use its functions to game the system and rape the people; all the while maintaining a 'plausible democracy' with plenty of cheezy doodles, sugar water, and circuses for the messes...

(oh, and worship Empire's (tm) mercenaries, you stupid sheeple! ! !)

I wish more people knew what a great resource Glenn and the UT community are for just that kind of advice.

Lazy cable networks should scroll Glenn's web address at the bottom of the screen every time they run stories on civil liberties,torture, indefinition detention or state claims to secrecy: it wouldn't cost them much and would help support real journalism and lively, engaged debate.

but that never meant that the Taliban were wonderful indigenous freedom fighters, did it? They always have funded themselves on heroin.

Yer talking shit, there.

Taliban's Eradication of Poppies Is Convulsing Opium Market

By BARBARA CROSSETTE

Published: Wednesday, June 13, 2001

The unexpected success of the Taliban in Afghanistan in eradicating three-quarters of the world's crop of opium poppies in one season is leading experts to ask where production is likely to spring up next.

The director of the United Nations Drug Control Program, Pino Arlacchi, said there was no chance that opium from other sources would compensate this year for the loss of Afghan crops, and the prices of opium and heroin will rise substantially, with opium already worth five to seven times its usual price. His program helped convince the Taliban that opium is a disgrace to Islam.

(link @ sig)

See? That was June 2001. Then came 9/11, War on Afghanistan, blah blah blah, and now we've got a big heroin problem. Hell, one might even get a little skeptical about whether it's the Taliban this time around.

"Too dangerous to release" -- it sounds like they have supernatural powers or something.

They're just men and they don't have any more special powers than any of the thousands of young jihadis out there vying to replace them and outdo them every single day.

They're like drops in the bucket by now and they're not even up on the secret handshakes any more.

The combination of all those things - my total irrelevance and obscurity being noted in the NYT, the Bible of Truth - might make her head explode.

Well I am here reading you aren't I, and my head is still intact.

Gee I never saw you mentioned in the NYT print version.
