"What is it that I did that is so fundamentally wrong, that deserves this kind of response to my service?" the torture-loving wiretapper said during an interview Tuesday.Right. Guess the fucker really can't recall.
During a lunch meeting two blocks from the White House, where he served under his longtime friend, Preznit Fuckwit, Mr. Gonzales said that "for some reason, I am portrayed as the one who is evil in formulating policies that people disagree with. I consider myself a casualty, one of the many casualties of the war on terror."Jeebus. THIS is a casualty of the war on terror:
With nearly one in six homes worth less than the mortgage owed on it, according to Moody’s Economy.com, divorce lawyers and financial advisers around the country say the logistics of divorce have been turned around. “We used to fight about who gets to keep the house,” said Gary Nickelson, president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. “Now we fight about who gets stuck with the dead cow.”As a result, divorce has become more complicated and often more expensive, with lower prospects for money on the other side. Some divorce lawyers say that business has slowed or that clients are deciding to stay together because there are no assets left to help them start over.
The men's room at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport where Republican Sen. Larry Craig was arrested in a sex sting is losing it appeal as a tourist stop, an official said.Yeah, that worked well.
Craig was accused of soliciting hot hot hot gay sex in the bathroom in June 2007 and pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in August 2007.
One person had offered to buy the restroom stall for $5,000, a spokesman said, but airport officials "don't sell fixtures for novelty purposes."
The gay not-gay gay Craig — who has maintained his innocence and heterosexuality - said he only pleaded guilty to keep the embarrassing situation quiet.
The Afghan chieftain looked older than his 60-odd years, and his bearded face bore the creases of a man burdened with duties as tribal patriarch and husband to four younger women. His visitor, a CIA officer, saw an opportunity, and reached into his bag for a small gift.Talk about hard intelligence.
Four blue pills. Viagra.
"Take one of these. You'll love it," the officer said. Compliments of Uncle Sam.
The enticement worked. The officer, who described the encounter, returned four days later to an enthusiastic reception. The grinning chief offered up a bonanza of information about Taliban movements and supply routes -- followed by a request for more pills.
According to several people on Mr. Cheney’s list, he has given enriched uranium for the past five Christmases. He has not revealed publicly where the uranium was obtained, or when.In related news.....
On January 20th, President-elect Barack Obama will take the oath of office using the same Bible upon which President Lincoln was sworn in at his first inauguration. The Bible is currently part of the collections of the Library of Congress. Though there is no constitutional requirement for the use of a Bible during the swearing-in, Presidents have traditionally used Bibles for the ceremony, choosing a volume with personal or historical significance. President-elect Obama will be the first President sworn in using the Lincoln Bible since its initial use in 1861.The real question is, which prominent Reichwingnut wackoff will TAKE CREDIT for pressuring Obama to not using a Koran?
A White House spokesman said Monday it was up to Iraq to handle the journalist who threw his shoes at beloved nincompoop Preznit CrashTest Dummy, after his brother alleged he had been tortured in custody."See, its a democritude, an' if they decide to torture him, they're free to do so thanks to me," Bush was reported as saying, before returning to his coloring book.
The UAW not only built the American middle class but helped engender every movement at the center of American liberalism today -- which is one reason that conservatives have always held the union in particular disdain.How much would Bubba and Joe-Bob be making while working Hyndai, Toyota/ whothefuckingeversaki foreign automaker be making if it weren't for the anti-capitalism, anti free market UAfuckingW? About 10 bucks an hour, working as a temp. Without bennies. Of course, it wouldn't last......some guy named Hoolio down by the school yard would end up taking his job for 5 bucks an hour.
Over the past several weeks, it has become clear that the Republican right hates the UAW so much that it would prefer to plunge the nation into a depression rather than craft a bridge loan that doesn't single out the auto industry's unionized workers for punishment. (As manufacturing consultant Michael Wessel pointed out, no Republican demanded that Big Three executives have their pay permanently reduced to the relatively spartan levels of Japanese auto executives' pay.)

Iraqi police say attackers have decapitated the leader of the women's league of the Kurdish Communist Party.And then of course, there's the old inconvenient truth of just how grand freedom is:
A police officer says gunmen on Thursday stormed the Kirkuk home of Nahla Hussein al-Shaly and shot and beheaded her.
The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush during a news conference was beaten afterward and had bruises on his face and around his eyes, a judge said Friday.The war is over, we have won, tyranny has been defeated and Iraq is
