One Man's Blue Öyster Cult is Another Man's Blue Öyster Culture


My Rights Versus Yours
From today's Chicago Tribune:
A military judge on Monday dismissed two of the most serious charges against the only officer accused of abusing detainees at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison after an investigator acknowledged he failed to read the defendant his rights.


I Can't Talk About It
Also from the Trib, the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations has cancelled a forum to talk about a book. Good. Books are dangerous. They contain thoughts and ideas.
The Chicago Council on Global Affairs' decision to cancel a forum about a controversial upcoming book on the influence of the pro-Israel lobby on U.S. foreign policy has sparked a heated debate about free speech.

"The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy," a book due out in September by University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer and Harvard University professor Stephen Walt, argues that the pro-Israel lobby has had a negative effect on U.S. foreign policy.

Expanding on a previous academic article that caused uproar and protest, Mearsheimer and Walt argue that the Israel lobby -- including Jewish organizations, Christian fundamentalists and neo-conservatives -- helped, among other actions, to stop diplomatic talks between the U.S. and Syria and hampered efforts to solve the Israel-Palestinian conflict.


This Nearly Was Mine
Richard Stickler, the head of the Mine and Health Safety Administration, previously was an executive for a mining firm with an accident rate twice the national average. Republican Senators objected to his appointment. Leading to yet another of the President's recess appointments.

I have a theory that I haven't done a bit of research on so I could be full of crap, but... be that as it may...

It seems like no one is protesting en masse anymore, now that Bush's numbers are in the toilet. Is that because people feel like everyone's either aware of how horrible this administration is, or so blind they will never see, so what's the point?

I think NOW is the time for the entire 70- or 80-odd percent of us to take to the streets and show how scary we are if we all decide to revolt.

Because this shit's revolting.

If only we could get Johnny to give Dubya a blowjob in a public place, we could finally be rid of him. Come on Johnny, take one for the team!    



7:57 PM

I'm going to refrain from commenting on the political content of this post, as the discourse in your comment hole has degenerated to the point that I now find myself unable to think about anything but blow jobs.

So I'll just take a page from ABBA and say thank you for the music. For giving it to me.
