The American Courts Have Spoken

 

Subtitled: There’s not so much change happening down there is there?

 

Detainees are not persons, and even if they are torture and abuse is a likely consequence of being detained by the military…. in other news American government officials are immune from legal action as at the time prisoners were being tortured and abused at Camp Gitmo “it was unclear whether abusing prisoners at Guantanamo was illegal“.

Lou Dobbs Announces Resignation From CNN

 

He wanders around a fair bit in his resignation but the quick translation is “CNN gave me a choice of leaving quietly under my own steam or being canned for anti-immigrant tirades that most reasonable people find offensive – I chose the former

…because otherwise I’d have to make sense of US politics.

How Many Republicans in New Jersey Think Obama is the Anti-Christ?

 

Answer: More than you think

APTN License: The Dog Catches the Bus, and Then Asks – Now What?

In which a small regional television service morphs into a national network, surprising itself more than anyone.

Aliens, Elvis and Obama

It is possible that Obama’s parents launched a conspiracy decades ago that has deceived state and hospital officials and media and voters and the Democratic party for decades. It is also possible that the remains of an alien reside in a Roswell hanger, that angels appeared in the sky to the troops at Mons, and that Elvis is slinging burgers in Dubuque, Iowa.

What’s next, will Rush Limbaugh be found casting for political auguries in the intestines of the bovine that died so that the demon Dijon mustard would have a burger to be spread upon?

 

Fallout over President Obama’s burger outing continues. Freedom-fry loving conservatives are venting over the president’s choice of Dijon mustard, while foodies of all political stripes are mortified by the omnivore-in-chief’s preference to have his burger cooked – gasp! – medium well.

Not So Much Change Here

Obama administration legitimizes I was only following orders defence for torture…. do you remember when the west thought differently?

The Politics Of Fear

 

ROTFLMAO…. tune in to the Sean Hannity show now, don’t ask questions, just do it!!

Gaza: The Less Sanitized Version
