Coming Soon: Incontrovertible Evidence Of Torture? Posted 22 Oct 2009 under Bush Man Date, War on Terror
Binyam Mohamed is one of the victims of TWAT (The War Against Terror). The bare facts are: Mohamed, arrested in Pakistan in April 2002, was accused of training at al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan, joining a squad of al Qaeda bomb-makers in Pakistan and plotting to set off a radioactive bomb in the United States. In [...]

ThinkProgress Embarrasses Itself Over Bachmann’s Embarrassing Error Posted 01 Jul 2009 under Media, Religious Right / Extremists, Republican Clown Show
Michele Bachmann outdid herself yesterday. In one breathless burst of anti-Census senselessness, she managed to make two equal and opposite statements: Twenty-eight pages. Sean, you know the one question they don’t ask? They ask, “are you an American citizen?” They don’t ask if you’re here on a visa or when it expires. We have no [...]

1115 Does Its Bit To Advance Scientific Knowledge Posted 20 May 2009 under Religious Right / Extremists, Republican Clown Show
Let’s welcome Charles Krauthammer to the Balls-You-Need-An-Electron-Microscope-To-See club: “What I want to say is — I don’t want to repeat his name — I don’t want Obama to fail,” he said, referring to radio host Rush Limbaugh. “I want our country to succeed. And when I criticize him, it’s because I think his ideas are [...]

Specter’s Olympic-worthy Performance Posted 08 Apr 2009 under Republican Clown Show, St. John McCain
Arlen Specter apparently has no middle name. But he certainly deserves one. And judging by his performance on Howard Stern’s radio show yesterday, he seems to have earned one. Arlen “Supple” Specter (did you know that acronymania is also known as initialism?) managed to effortlessly pull off the difficult quadruple axel toe loop of [...]

Trial And Error In The Republican Public Discourse Posted 09 Mar 2009 under Religious Right / Extremists
The Republican party continues to try and define, by trial and error, what constitutes permissible public criticism of the Bimbaugh. The current focus is on how muted the criticism must be before the Bimbaugh decides you don’t need to be slapped back into place. Lindsey Graham offered up this weak and watery statement yesterday, billing [...]

They Jabbed Him With The Voodoo Pin Again Posted 07 Mar 2009 under Religious Right / Extremists
I think I’m finally in sympathy with those who believe that the White House is orchestrating this whole Rush Limbaugh media flap thing. Take what Limbaugh ended up saying yesterday: Rush Limbaugh carved a new notch in his ever-expanding belt of tastelessness when he predicted Sen. Ted Kennedy would be 6 feet under by the [...]

“All Hail Limbaugh” Gathers Momentum Posted 03 Mar 2009 under Republican Clown Show
Michael Steele groveling at Rush Limbaugh’s feet on Monday was pathetic enough: Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says he has reached out to Rush Limbaugh to tell him he meant no offense when he referred to the popular conservative radio host as an “entertainer” whose show can be “incendiary.” “My intent was not to go after [...]

What Economic Crisis? — Masterpieces of Denial Posted 09 Feb 2009 under Economy, Obama Uber Alles, Podium Spin, Republican Clown Show
(1) Pretty Good Senator Jon Kyl emphatically denies that we have much of an economic crisis on our hands. He thinks President Obama is just being careless with dangerous rhetoric when he describes it as a crisis that could escalate into a catastrophe. In his weekly radio and Internet address on Saturday, the president praised the [...]

Say It Ain’t So, Barack Posted 05 Feb 2009 under Dismantling Bushworld, Obama Uber Alles, War on Terror
Reuters reported a sad and sorry Guantanamo tale yesterday: Two senior British judges accused the United States on Wednesday of threatening to end intelligence cooperation if Britain released evidence about the alleged torture of a Guantanamo detainee. The judges quoted lawyers for Foreign Secretary David Miliband as saying the U.S. government, by reviewing intelligence cooperation, “could inflict [...]

Stimulus Bill Shenanigans Posted 29 Jan 2009 under Congressional Man Date, Depends on the Definition of, Economy, Obama Uber Alles, Religious Right / Extremists
(1) I am somewhat in sympathy with Hilzoy, when she writes: There are good reasons to try for bipartisan support regardless of how likely you think you are to succeed. If you do succeed, then both parties have some ownership of the stimulus bill, neither will be as eager to politicize it, and it will be harder for [...]
