on the whole Sotomayor thing... Republicans are funny. I'm sure all you Democrats are like "please PLEASE put freakin Tom Tancredo and Pat Buchanan and Michael Savage front and center in calling her a racist." (Sullivan had some stuff about Tancredo and others linked here.) I mean wtf, Steve Sailor and David Duke were unavailable? Maybe they should throw John Derbyshire into the mix too, for some flavor? Decent Republicans should be disgusted by all that. I know many who are (although they're now mostly ex-GOP).
Please get your shit together, conservatives. We need a diversity of political ideas in this country or we'll get into serious trouble. Hopefully in ten years the main opposition to "L"iberals will be principled, honest conservatives with a libertarian bent. The public debt picture looks terrifying for future years.

Follow the links; warning, the photos at the Alexandrovna link are profoundly disturbing.
"When Dick Cheney defends his policy of torture, remember, he is defending this. When you tell people they can cross the line into cruelty, you have given them permission to engage in what you are about to see. That is what happens when legal controls are taken off and that is why Dick Cheney and George W. Bush are directly responsible for these rapes.
The images are incredibly graphic. I am only posting three because I cannot stand to look through more of them to find the others."

It's getting to the point where an honestly conservative person can't call himself a conservative without being equated with bigots. I always thought that it was the job of conservatives to want to preserve the best of what had been done by previous generations while attempting to cautiously change what didn't work.
Larisa (not Laura) says Hersch was right.
I'm heartbroken, TNC.
Bush and Cheney sowed the whirlwind without even asking the American people.
They should burn.
More.
I'm with Larisa. This stinks of coverup.
Just what kind of a sub-sapient moron was GW anyways? You can't do this stuff and bury it...we are are Americans.
Someone, somewhere, was going to blow the whistle on these creeps.
Awful awful.
Imaginary black men strike again:
The efforts to track down Sweeten - which included an Amber Alert and massive local and national media coverage - began when she told a Philadelphia 911 dispatcher about 1:45 p.m. Tuesday that she had been abducted by two black males and stuffed into the trunk of a Cadillac.
Will no one stop their reign of terror?

I've always said that if we really want to improve race relations in this country, we need to find that black guy who keeps terrorizing women like this woman and Susan Smith. I think he also showed up in Boston a few years ago as well.
Never imagined that The Arcade Fire was in your mix. I guess I should have. Too cool.
