Heh - Bush Said “Orwellian”

All I can say is that it’s a darned good thing I didn’t have a mouthful of hot coffee when I read about the western worlds greatest proponent of secret prisons, extraordinary rendition, arbitrary detention, torture, wiretapping, eavesdropping, domestic surveillance, the unending war, and biometric national ID cards, use the word Orwellian….. otherwise I’d be needing (at the very least) a new keyboard.

PS: Please don’t bother expounding upon the virtues, or lack thereof, of the so called “Fairness Doctrine”, this is about Bush, keeping in mind all his policies and comments, describing others as “Orwellian” and not seeing the absolute hypocrisy in doing so.

    Speaking of torture, I was wondering how someone might login to this lovely new site to do a post?

    The new and improved Stageleft of course with the redesign.

    Oh, sorry! My old login still works. Let’s talk to the Albanians down in the engine room.

    Well for the life of me, I can’t find the link to login on the new design anywhere.

    Hmm. What do see right under the menu bar that says “home”, “awards”, etc…?

  7. Treehugger on March 12th, 2008 at 3:58 pm

    Home, Awards, IRC Web Chat, Political Compass, The true and secret…, Ustream. That’s it.

    There is a space at the end with no link to anything. It appears the same on two different computers.

    I’m more startled by his sudden proficiency in correct pronunciation. Whatever happened to his natural locution?

    I’m feeling a little let down.

    Is Europe awakening to al Qaida threat?

    Word has it that al Qaida has its grimy eyes set on Europe as a target for its terrorist activities. This may be just speculation, or it may be real. Would you like to be the one in charge that has to make decision? What would you do? …

    “I’m more startled by his sudden proficiency in correct pronunciation.”

    Shhhhhh…he’s practising. Somebody spilled the beans to him about the language having words with more than two syllables, and he’s test driving some of them.
