Truth? Beloved Leader had a most excellent reason to invade Iraq: To prevent the Apocalypse. Seriously. At least according to some French former leader neither married to Carla Bruni nor for whom she was a groupie.
This leaves me speechless, it’s so scary and what it reflects even scarier:
Do this. Won’t accomplish anything, I’m sure, but won’t hurt either.
A death then a lie exposed. What a surprise…. People’s need for perfection or to believe a successful person is a perfect person is really getting to me…..

The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness. — Joseph Conrad
Patience has its limits. Take it too far, and it’s cowardice. — George Jackson
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. — Thomas Jefferson [not much of a Christian Founding Father, huh?]
Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence. — Buddha
Attention, wingnuts and the rest of the America-hating GOP “conservatives”:
He, who by good deeds covers the evil he has done, illuminates this world like the moon freed from clouds. — Buddha
Assholes: The Saudis. Any of them, all of them. I hate the Republicans’ submissive love of them. Let the get GOP be their submissives.
Uber Asshole: Sen. Jeff Sessions. Clearly, he has nothing positive to contribute to society. It’s time for him to go or, for that matter, “go”, in a Bill O’Reilly on Vitter sense. Just saying, interpret it as you will….
2010 Vancouver Olympics fascism: Read about it here.
Essential reading: Obama; Less than Hoover (I said it first, this guy lays it all out). It’s the July 2009 Harper’s cover story. Can’t find a public link to it yet but here’s a taste. And a little Obama porn is here for the believers. (And again, I apologize for besmirching Hoover by comparing Obama to him. Obama clearly falls short of Hoover. And Obama has the benefit of the lessons of the Depression, which Hoover did not have.)
But Big Banks are doing okay. They cook their books to make all the bad stuff disappear and they steal from us.
Sad: Ex-Met Lenny Dykstra manages (pun intended) to get $31 million in debt, files for bankruptcy. Least I can do is embarrass him. I’d rather see him hung but only Bill O’Reilly can do and get away with stuff like that.
Stupid thieves. All they had to do was drop off the face of the earth but no….
All these eco-friendly new technologies: How eco-friendly are they exactly? Is the Prius actually a plus ecologically or does the manufacturing process do more harm than the vehicle will ever make up for? Or this: Ethanol mixed into gasoline — no good? Hint: You have to stay sharp when it’s some big business touting anything eco-friendly.
Drink of the day (if story is true and the claimed significance is true).
But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest. — Buddha
Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinions at all. – Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
This Memorial Day, eat the rich. The only benefit of the truly wealthy is the trickle down effect of their wealth. When it results in economic destruction, mat as well be rid of the destroyers and allow a new constructive group to replace them, no?
Beloved Leader’s ownership society? It was really only ownership of crushing debt, wasn’t it?
Is someone who supports and enable this really deserving of a newspaper column??
Query: Does this MSM editor (Harold Jackson) know how full of shit he is and is saying what he’s saying despite knowing better or is really as clueless as he appears? I mean of all the people deserving of a public platform, John Yoo — well, he’s nowhere on that list. Correction: The dip is even more full of shit than you could imagine; his lies about hiring Yoo are laid out here.
Maybe this world is another planet’s hell. — Aldous Huxley
Illegal downloading of music: What a wonderful way to hear music before you buy, something the recording industry clearly believes is no longer necessary for sales, that not being able to hearing what you’re buying before you buy actually hurts sales.
Which leads to a minor insight. In the old days, the new would push out the old. In our era, the old is, well, killing itself while there’s not very much new out there to replace it. Newspapers die and where are the outlets for their reporters of deep, long term journalism? Radio no longer lets you hear what you otherwise might buy; outside of illegal downloads, where else can you go for a free sample? Sad and scary.
A thought: In the old days, you’d read the paper and read news you saw the night before on the T.V. Now, you read the paper and read stuff you read two days earlier online. Newspapers give you the world on the web days later….
One more time: Rummy’s artful briefing papers. What bothers me more than the gratuitous (to say the least) religious quotes is the gross over-reduction of information to a pretty imbecilic level.
