Tuesday, March 2: Who loves war? Why the Heritage Foundation, that’s who! And according to them, declaring war can be simple and fun: If a country thinks evil things about the US, why, they’ve declared war, and we must immediately fight them to the death (and maybe somewhere in there figure out how to win, because that’s probably a good idea too). [Heritage Foundation]
- Wednesday, March 3: We tortured people, which presumably is not something you boast about, but then they released a bunch of documents detailing the alleged abuses, and someone thought it would be a great idea to have comedians and US Representatives read these documents out loud, as part of a show, for fun! It is called The Producers, On Ice, In 3D. [Georgetown Law]
- Thursday, March 4: Growing up is so hard. The Urban Institute explores old people and looks at what they call “the second awkward stage” — that stage when old folks don’t quite qualify for Social Security and Medicare so they can’t quite drop dead or quit their jobs yet. [Urban Institute]
- Thursday, March 4: In a ‘whodunit’ approach to solving our job loss issues, the New America Foundation wants to know who is responsible for this whole unemployment fiasco. Survey says: weak anti-trust laws, President Bush, unicorns, and puppies. [New America Foundation]

Michael Ledeen on why we should just go to war whenever we feel like it ’cause it’s cool. These people are monsters. I’m thinking we need to re-institute the draft. That may be the only way to cool the war fever in some circles.
Speaking of torture, everyone’s favorite scumbag enabler, John Yoo, will be committing unnatural acts against logic, humanity and basic decency at UVA on March 19. You won’t need directions — just follow the trail of ooze.

— Michael Ledeen, the neocons’ point man on regime change in Iran (and in Syria, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia), is apparently capable of viewing diplomacy only through the barrel of a gun —
– Anthony Gancarski of Antiwar.com wrote, “[Ledeen] talks of military confrontation with Iran, which will be ugly like nothing since the Korean war, like he’s a frat boy trying to get laid. —

[re=522253]S.Luggo[/re]: Oh no …. nice “surgical” air strikes. Not a mind numbing infantry war. oh no. never.
And when it happens (remember Iran and Iraq decided to see what would happen if you refought The Great War with updated equipment), everyone will be all about “well, who could have foreseen that. So then they will be saying we have to go nuclear. Korea is about the right — not a Vietnam. A Korea. JFC.

Someone should be at Ledeen’s Heritage Foundation talk to hurl yellow piss bags and brown colostomy satchels; metal crutches, prosthetic limbs, aluminum walkers, chaffing braces, and cumbersome wheelchairs; ventilators and respirators from Walter Reid at this warmonger-attack-Iran-at-all-cost, psycho shit. Yet … I mean that in the best possible way.
From Ledeen’s outer reaches of crazy town: http://pajamasmedia.com/michaelledeen/2010/02/27/purim-again-from-ahashverosh-to-ahmadinejad/
Eternal war, indeed.
