I see that the Senate told Bush to fuck off last night.

Interesting.

I see it now. Good, Bush needs to veto something. Then let it play it from there.

Or maybe they should just carry out summary judgment on these enemy combatants now for war crimes and misdeamnors before the law passes. Probably less expensive than the alternative.

A person with a wayward moral compass and inability to distinguish right from wrong would say that. Nic gif. though.

And a person who was just owned with logic would respond with a nonsensical post like yours. You have diluted your own words to the point that you are indistinguishable from paigow.

Several of the ones we let go have been rearrested and convicted for more terrorism. We have them, we know they want to kill us and the only defense is they haven't yet.

I don't see how one cheers for them

I worked for a woman who was one of two or three in her law school class (in the 50s or 60s I think -- this was a long time ago). The prof would call on people in succession, based on where they sat -- so, moving one by one down the row of desks.

But he would skip over the women.


(To counter this blatant sexism on a grander, cosmic scale, when I taught a law school class I made sure to call on the women a lot, especially if they had nice tits.)

I had a prof in law school
Who would call on all caucasians,
And blacks, hispanics, everyone -
But he skipped all the Asians.

We students tried to determine
Why he would Asians circumvent;
As best we could all figure out,
He feared they'd have an accent.

Or maybe, they should give the soldiers clear and consistent guidelines on what they can and can't do. As reported to Sen. McCain by Capt. Ian Fishback of the 82nd Airborne:

For 17 months, I tried to determine what specific standards governed the treatment of detainees by consulting my chain of command through battalion commander, multiple JAG lawyers, multiple Democrat and Republican Congressmen and their aides, the Ft. Bragg Inspector General's office, multiple government reports, the Secretary of the Army and multiple general officers, a professional interrogator at Guantanamo Bay, the deputy head of the department at West Point responsible for teaching Just War Theory and Law of Land Warfare, and numerous peers who I regard as honorable and intelligent men.

Instead of resolving my concerns, the approach for clarification process leaves me deeply troubled. Despite my efforts, I have been unable to get clear, consistent answers from my leadership about what constitutes lawful and humane treatment of detainees. I am certain that this confusion contributed to a wide range of abuses including death threats, beatings, broken bones, murder, exposure to elements, extreme forced physical exertion, hostage-taking, stripping, sleep deprivation and degrading treatment. I and troops under my command witnessed some of these abuses in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

Nice, keep beating it. Your posts are like a chimp in the zoo who spends 23 hours a day jerking off. Maybe you should go to the South if you are so obsessed with it, or maybe you are exhibiting that self-loathing thing Sidd posts about. I am fairly certain based on my daily interactions with Southerners irl, they don't want me and I don't want them. Although given a choice between the south and France.........I would choose France. The South of France. So now we can note I don't always say bad things about France or southern places.

As for the poem, its an artistic piece that captures a real angst a sizable portion of the population has with the wayward moral compass in our nation. I like a range art. This is a nice bookend to my Dung Madonna Screensaver. Interesting also, that the leftists think that a crucifix in a jar of urine is equivalent to a modern day Guernica (hi Hank!) but would mock this poem as it exposes their moral failings.

Further, if you think the sentiment in the poem is limited to the south then you are showing your ignorance of America or maybe you are just too arrogant to respect a more well defined morality than you have. I can drive 15 minutes outside of the most socialist city in America and find towns with a majority of people who would agree with that. Drive north or west from NYC or West from Chicago and you would find the same.

Finally, my urination reference was not meant in an offensive way. It is my understanding that in order for one's presence in a state to count for the Quest for 50, you either have to go to the bathroom, engaging in a commercial transaction, or having a meal in the State (but airports never count). Driving over the border and peeing quickly seems to be the most efficient score, although, for example I got Iowa by driving 5 miles over the border to Spirit Lake, buying a spark plug from a Trak Auto and a coke from 7-11.

You realize you're not making much sense here anymore, right?

My post wasn't about geography, though it did contain amusement with your devotion to a kind of gastrointestinal journal. It's about ideological affiliation.

I'm glad you liked the poem. I thought you would.

Yep.

Reminds me of a comment from a lawyer I know who is a big man and a huge James Bond fan, who was explaining to me why Sean Connery is the only true Bond.

He said that James Bond should be able to kick his ass, but he knew he could take Moore, Brosnan, etc.

Lots of local Dems agree.
(That said, if she ran 'gainst McCain,
I'd probably vote Dem again.)

On a related note,
I will share this annecdote:
This morning on the subway
A young rapper made my day.
He said he wanted to be president,
And fuck both parties, he was independent!

the complexity of your meter is hot.

More likely to get some -- low self-esteem.

Gravity is everywhere too Burger and the left is not protesting or mocking that. Why?

It's not in the first amendment.

"Chute" and "minute" don't really rhyme.

If this is a subtle attempt to get me to make a cougarish play for your affections, it is not going to work. I don't roll like that. NTTAWWT.

On its face it absolutely was about geography. Perhaps you need to choose your words more carefully so you make sense. Further, if its about ideology, I suppose if you are mocking morality or the right to have a belief system that is morally grounded, then I suppose I would rather be aligned with Roy Moore than you. It must be a sad existence to be so empty of morality, values or any concept of right and wrong. Is it this emptiness that fuels the culture of death?

I appreciate art, of all types. While I don't think the federal government should fund it, I have no problem with artistic creation or message of Piss Christ or Dung Madonna. They are provocative work worthy of the discussion that they provoke. That poem is no different. Of course, your cultural arrogance is probably based on your own vast accomplishments as a poet, so it's easier for you to look down on the arguably lesser work of such a published literary giant as yourself.
