You might be a Republican if...

I accidentally left the TV on NBC after local news a couple of nights ago and that useless sack of farts Jay Leno had Dick "Fuckin'" Cheney on plugging his self-serving (is there any other kind of political memoir?) autobiography and Leno, feeling very bold, as if Cheney might order him killed on the spot for such temerity, dared ask about the torture. In effect, Cheney says, "well, it weren't nothing we don't do to our own people!" As if putting your agents through controlled waterboarding during their training were exactly the same as being kidnapped and threatened with death by foreigners who actually do have power of life and death over you.

Leno, humbled, chastened, dropped the one softball he managed to lob with a "wow, see? I didn't realize that" and moved on to some pointless jibber jabber about Palin.

I would also point out that it is not routine training. In my ~10 years of Navy service, I was not subjected to any of the torture techniques. We were tear gassed in boot camp so that we knew how important it was to be able to get into your gas mask quickly and correctly. I'm almost positive that Haliburton/KBR does not require their executives to go through torture training and neither is it included in vicePOTUS indoctrination. So once more when Darth Cheney talked about "our own people" he was excluded.

I reckon one can learn a lot about waterboarding with five student deferments.

If you last name is NOT Weiner, it means the "liberal media" will not give you the same media coverage, even if you are "anti-gay":

Nope, no reason to drive on that stretch of Kingston Pike. You see after my blog post that evidently no one reads, Stair moved the sign further east attaching it to the restaurant sign. After a follow up post that indicated I had photos of it's original location then the sign was removed all together.

What was that "...woosh" sound? Something going overhead.

BHornback: Adding an entirely new level of definition to the word, "dense".

And we sometimes wonder why so rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning? Just look at the non-elitist, unlearned people who can get elected to the school board in this part of the world.
