Gore Vidal Knocks His Longtime Rival, Bill Buckley, During National Book Awards.
I love this guy.
Senators seek probe into China’s yuan peg | Politics | Reuters.
You see? Now that it is about money and not human rights finally someone cares.
I am glad and disheartened all at the same time.
We have known of the atrocities of how these goods are made for decades but heaven forbid it cost us money instead of karma.
I don’t care why we challenge them, just do it.
Recognizing Palestinian state premature: EU | International | Reuters.

I hate borders but what you guys are doing over there is beyond wrong.
Pentagon bars release of photos allegedly showing detainee abuse – CNN.com.
You see, on one hand maybe it is not such a good idea to release these photos as they incriminate us as torturers. On the other, not releasing them incriminates us as torturers who cover up our deeds.
I understand why we should not release these photos. They make us look bad. But by saying, ‘we cannot release these photos, because they make us look bad’, still makes us look bad.
The real issue here is that we did do bad things. Else these photos would be heralded as proof that our interrogations worked to save the world. But they will never be that, will they?
America, if we do not own up to our mistakes, we will never be a super power again. We are done. You should just let this democracy crumble and start over with a new plan.
The behavior depicted in these photos represents us all. Hiding them only makes it worse. But if we show them then the world will expect us to prosecute those involved and when we don’t we lose all credibility on the international stage. That is, if we have any left.
If showcasing our actions makes our soldiers abroad less safe, then we need to reconsider our actions, let the world know that we will not stand for breaches in the Geneva Convention and that we are willing to do what is right.
It is not going to be easy. But if we sweep this under the rug, we will pay dearly in the end. We have officially become the terrorists here, no doubt about it.
Do what is right.
New jihad code threatens al Qaeda – CNN.com.
Who’da thunk it?
This project has great risk. But a potential politically successful payout follows. We cannot BOMB this war out of existence. This is jihad. Just like the war within. Only those who know, know how to stop it.
Lets give it a try. Let us try REASON. Just once. Then I won’t ask no more.
‘Sesame Street’ Ombudsman Says Fox News Parody ‘Should Have Been Resisted’ – FOXNews.com.
Favorite line: “sixty two percent of voters feel that “Sesame Street” has a liberal slant.”
Ha!
Of course they do. Sesame Street is diverse, educational, and fun. Its got to be liberal.
And not to mention that Bert and Ernie have been living as domestic partners for years now.
Really? Really.
Really? You’re going after Sesame Street. Wow. Wish you had the same resolve to take down the Taliban.
Ridonculous.
This is the woman who claims religious superiority over you and me, and gays who want to marry.
I mean, on one hand she is playing it off like a youthful indiscrection, but then i think, man, if you were young when you did that, I mean, that takes some brass ones. Kinky!!!! She not only looks really bad, but perhaps slutty since High School. Not the kind of person we want to be telling us about the sanctity of marriage, or the sanctity of anything really. Do we???
I KNOW I do NOT have a sex tape, solo or otherwise, out there. The loudest proponents of God, and detractors of freedom seem to have the BIGGEST skeletons in their closet.
ROTFLMAO. LOVE IT.
