Aha! Now we know why Alberto was trying to hard to make torture legal. He knew it would help his case out here.

The DR is a day late and a dollar short on this one, Jon Stewart put it at the top of last night's show.

"Is there any negative thing going on in America that Cheney is not involved in?"

~JS

Be Well.

/Apologies if anyone else has already started a thread on this.

Okay, maybe Cheney aint as sexy as Huge Ackman or nothing but no responses at all to Cheney and Gonzales indictment here?

WTF?

Did this one get done already or sommat?

Of course, Gonzales is no stranger to Texas Prison scandals.

Anybody remember his failure to prosecute guards and administrators in the Texas Youth Correctional facility sex abuse scandal? You know, the one where minors were woken up in the middle of the night and forced by guards to participate in gay orgies?

Nobody?

Hey Wolf, is Anna Nicole Smith still dead or wot?

Be Well.

FTA: "It is appalling to find that numerous elected officials from different levels of our government throughout our country to our U.S. Vice President Richard B. Cheney, defendant, are profiting from depriving human beings of their liberty," the indictment said.

Appalling? Yes. Surprising no.

Maybe this all part of Dickless's grand scheme to privitise GitMo and set it up as a for profit private torture facility?

Wouldn't put it past him.

/Maybe China and Saudi Arabia will outsource some of their torture to him fer old times sake, eh?

The indictment accuses Gonzales of stopping an investigation into abuses at the federal detention center.

The guy who tried to make torture legal (and succeeded btw if you read the MCA) and covered up a ring of pedophile guards and administrators in the Texas Youth Correctional Facuility scandal covering up murders in a penal system owned in part by Dick Cheney?

* shocked intake of breath *

Say it aint so!/snark>

Be Well.

/BTW, Spud does realise that these indictments are going nowhere just saying that they are part of long, and by now, fairly predictable pattern with this creepy cabal of amoral crooks.

Still no luff fer the notion of Cheney in Chains and with Alberto Gonzales as his prison biatch?

Wow, tuff crowd.

Here's an idear, maybe Spud'll just turn this into a song thread with the theme being prison.

~Pretenders "Back on the Chain Gang"

~System of a Down "Prison Song"

Tom Waits - Gunstreet Girl

~Rev Jack

Wow, wot a beautiful haunting instrumental version of the Tom Waits Classic.

Ta fer bringnig that one to Spud's attention.

Very nice.

Spud always thinks of that song as the being part and parcel of the song that precedes it on "Rain Dogs".

Yup. Luffs me some 9th and Hennipen too.

"It's 9th and Hennepin
And all the donuts have
Names that sound like prostitutes
And the moon's teeth marks are
On the sky like a tarp thrown over all this
And the broken umbrellas like
Dead birds and the steam
Comes out of the grill like
The whole goddamned town is ready to blow.
And the bricks are all scarred with jailhouse tattoos
And everyone is behaving like dogs.
And the horses are coming down Violin Road
And Dutch is dead on his feet
And the rooms all smell like diesel
And you take on the
Dreams of the ones who have slept here.
And I'm lost in the window
I hide on the stairway
I hang in the curtain
I sleep in your hat
And no one brings anything
Small into a bar around here.
They all started out with bad directions
And the girl behind the counter has a tattooed tear,
One for every year he's away she said, such
A crumbling beauty, but there's
Nothing wrong with her that
$100 won't fix, she has that razor sadness
That only gets worse
With the clang and thunder of the
Southern Pacific going by
As the clock ticks out like a dripping faucet
Till you're full of rag water and bitters and blue ruin
And you spill out
Over the side to anyone who'll listen
And I've seen it
All through the yellow windows
Of the evening train."

~Tom Waits

Spud has made sly subtle reference to 9th&H afore in me blog posting is high time Spud quoted the whole thing.

Be Well.

/Outta here fer the night

..........if justice were to take its course.......

.....the whole 8 years of the new AG's term could be taken up with prosecuting the Bush Crime Syndicate........

and here we go

remember all you fellows

DANNI has already said that this was a whole lot about nothing.........

and here is another priceless L.H.H.M.

I believe in the rule of law and if he is found guilty throw his ass in jail
its just too bad that all of you "PROGRESSIVES" arent in favor of EVERYONE getting due process because you have already found him guilty here

(HOW MANY YEARS DOES DELAY HAVE LEFT...oh WAIT....he hasnt been FOUND GUILTY OF ANYTHING)....

you give due process to cop killers and child molesters and FUCKIN TERRORISTS and yet dont call for it here

more typical shit..........

***** you give due process to cop killers and child molesters and FUCKIN TERRORISTS and yet dont call for it here.....
