    The Columbian gives cover to Radical Homophobic Agenda

    It seems that The Columbian equates giving religious fundamentalist fringe “a seat at the table” with bestowing a high honor on one of its leaders. The following is my response to their latest Cheers & Jeers:

    After the hyperpartisanship and ideologically driven policy that marked the outgoing administration there is no disagreement that it is a necessary and admirable endeavor for Obama to be gracious in [...]



    because mccain is so reticent to talk about his p.o.w. experience [/snark],

    he had an actor do it for him. You can read Fred Thompson’s war porn speech from last night, or you can just watch Pulp Fiction and see Christopher Walken play the same role, only better:

    Snakes in Suits

    You manage a statewide network of bail agents. How did you get into the bail bond business?
    By chance. I was working at a dance club in downtown Portland and somebody liked how I worked [...]



    and the i-can’t-bear-to-look:

    I have been reading Naomi Klien’s The Shock Doctrine, but I haven’t finished it yet.

    I think this is because when I read most books about geopolitical atrocities, they are about a certain moment in time; even if the [...]

    enlightening the brown people

    From a transcript of a roundtable yesterday between pro-war bloggers and Marine Maj. Gen. Douglas M. Stone, Commander, U.S. detention facilities in Iraq (where there are now at least 25,000 detainees):

    STONE: We are now almost full-bore into all of our new programs … to understand who we’ve got and what their orientation towards religion, their skill, their education, their morale and motivation of what got [...]
