Seems the right wing is pretty upset that Eric "Mancow" Muller was waterboarded and then declared "It Is Torture!" He is one of their own and has deserted the party line. He is getting quite an education from what he thought would be a fun stunt. As he says now, "Whatever happened to the TRUTH?" A very good question, especially coming from a far...

Cookies work, torture doesn't
This is one of the best reasons to try Christ's teaching first. I hope self-proclaimed Christians like Cheney and Bush are listening... May 28, 2009 No Torture Needed -- Cookies Did the Job Fascinating piece coming in tomorrow's TIME magazine. Reporter Bobby Ghosh writes, “The most successful interrogation of an al-Qaeda operative by U.S. officials...

Interesting Interview
Sean Hannity says waterboarding isn't torture, even after this. One wonders, then, why he doesn't fulfill his promise to undergo waterboarding himself? He said he'd do it for charity -- Keith Olbermann offered $1,000 for each second Hannity lasted under the "it's not torture" enhanced interrogation procedure (so-called). But Hannity refuses to honor...

An Essay, Beautifully Put!!!
Religious fanatics of all types who put themselves in superior positions to judge others as "sinners" are going to be in for a big surprise at their time of exiting this brief span of life, I think. Fundamentalist Christians, no matter their church affiliation, take pride that they are living their lives in a Christlike manner, asking themselves "What...

California: State of Paralysis
By Paul Krugman http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/25/opinion/25krugman.html?_r=1 EXCERPT: Who would have thought that America’s largest state, a state whose economy is larger than that of all but a few nations, could so easily become a banana republic?On the other hand, the problems that plague California politics apply at the national level too....
Not a surprise that Cheney was the real president all those years
COL. WILKERSON: CHENEY KEPT SOME THINGS FROM BUSH by Cenk Uygur We interviewed Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, the former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, on The Young Turks and he had some very interesting things to say. Including: "Cheney was co-president. I'd go further than that and say that for national security issues and other critical issues Cheney...
LIZ CHENEY REVEALS REAL REASON CHENEY IS RUNNING SCARED
The real reason Cheney is out there, with his daughter Liz, defending himself and his legacy (proving he was really the president those 8 long years), has now been revealed by Liz. He is afraid of being held responsible for his crimes (as well he should be!). He doesn't want to be prosecuted for lying to start a war and for increasing terrorism during...
Rational voices are trying to be heard in the GOP
Tom Ridge and Colin Powell are trying to save their party from extinction. Lots of luck, fellows! The far right wingers have battened down the hatches on their brains and don't want to hear anything reasonable. Rove and Limbaugh and Beck and Coulter are their leaders...and they just love that "dear" old guy Cheney. And Sarah Palin is right...

Suicides of Soldiers Are Mounting
THANK YOU, DICK CHENEY, DONALD RUMSFELD, and PUPPET BUSH for the lies you contrived and the unnecessary war you started, into which you sent these young soldiers. Their deaths and the deaths of more than 4,000 others, plus the maiming of thousands of others, are all on your heads. Yesterday, a young AWOL soldier took his life on West Cliff Drive...

It's not torture -- it's not torture--glub, glub -- IT'S TORTURE!!!
For sure FOX's cowardly Sean Hannity will never do it now -- even though he promised he would undergo it for charity to prove it wasn't torture (and Keith Olbermann has offered to pay $1,000 a second for each second Hannity lasts). I think all rightwingers who protest this is not torture (including CHENEY) should have to undergo it to see for...
Global Temperatures to rise by 9 degrees by 2100
A new study, which researchers have called "the most exhaustive end-to-end analysis of climate change impacts yet performed", predicts that global warming could be twice as bad as previous estimates had suggested. Published this month in the Journal of Climate, the MIT-based research found a 90% probability that worldwide surface temperatures will...
Who is Dick Cheney? Q & A
By Steven Weber Who is Dick Cheney? Really? What is the man doing? Is he a patriot? Does he love America? Does he fear for the safety of its citizens? Is he a statesman who values what America stands for? Does he value its history? Here are some answers: He is exercising his right to express himself. But given the responsibility inherent in having...

Irish Catholic priests and nuns abused children in their institutions
An excellent movie was made about this kind of abuse years ago called The Magdalene Sisters. It is horrific to think of how the Catholic Church kept its trusting members under so much control for centuries -- telling them they would go to hell if they even ate meat on a Friday, and their babies would go to Limbo if they weren't baptized from...
Unfortunately, this is all too true!
Politicians and their Corporate Masters By Jon Faulkner The presidency is a chance, for a man or woman, to join the elite - the upper echelon of society. That is its chief attraction. The trick to getting elected, and to make it look like there was an election, is to promise things the candidate knows he can’t deliver. The candidate knows perfectly...
Very interesting 9-minute long video on UFOs

Have you noticed that there have been more and more UFO programs on TV lately? Discovery channel, History channel, Natl. Geographic channel--it seems almost every week there is some kind of UFO...

Adam Lambert's Incredible Voice
Watch this video of The Prayer....with Adam Lambert and Noa Dori. If Adam doesn't win the American Idol title tonight/tomorrow, it really doesn't matter. Kris Allen will be an artist of some talent and scope. But Adam is in a whole different league. With his voice and looks, he already has the potential to be a star of the magnitude of Elvis Presley....
Jesse Ventura, a Goldwater Conservative, speaks his mind
And I agree with every word he says!!! Jesse was on Faux News' Sean Hannity show as well -- and was the first person I've ever seen on Hannity's show who didn't allow Hannity to overtalk him. He definitely made far more sense than Hannity (but, admittedly, that's not hard to do). I wish he would have reminded Hannity that he (Hannity) had...

Obama can't turn the page on Bush -- YET
He'd better soon call an investigative commission to look into all the crimes of the evil Cheney/puppet Bush administration. Too much information is coming out -- and it can't all be swept under the carpet, no matter how hard Obama tries. Read the VERY interesting column by Frank Rich that will appear in tomorrow's NY TIMES (link below). ...

Obama Makes a Terrible Mistake
...By Not Releasing Torture Photos by Cenk Uygur This is an unbelievable moment. Dick Cheney's PR offensive over the last month actually worked. Barack Obama just crumbled and will follow Cheney's command to not release the new set of detainee abuse pictures. By the way, if you hadn't figured it out by now, that's why you saw every Cheney in the world...

"Igor" Cheney Unleashed
Cheney is trying to protect his legacy as puppet master of the president of the U.S. Even the puppet now knows enough to stay away from his former string-puller, as the Bush family tries to rise from the ashes of the debacle Cheney made of their family's image. The Bushes think it's Jeb's turn and are desperately trying to insert him as the GOP's...

TIME magazine article on the GOP

In the Name of Womanhood and All Humanity
Mother's Day is Every Day by David Swanson Imagine that tomorrow you begin to feel ill and rush to the hospital where you are eventually diagnosed with a horribly debilitating and probably incurable disease. Within a week your body and mind have deteriorated drastically. You cannot dress yourself. You have difficulty getting out of a chair or walking...
