ALCATRAZ ON THE MISSISSIPPI

Protesters Fear Thomson Prison Will Turn Into ‘The Rock,’ Minus Nic Cage, Plus Terrorists

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Just as long as Sean Connery is still involvedLibtards across America think it would be just fine to put Guantanamo detainees in a maximum-security prison in northern Illinois, where they could paint each other’s fingernails while threatening to unleash a biological attack on “the mainland” (Iowa). But some people find this objectionable, and so they went to a public hearing on the proposed sale of the Thomson Correctional Facility to the US government armed with two things: flawless logic, and wonderful signs.

Land Of Chocolate And Clocks To Accept Single Guantanamo Prisoner

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Likes: Promptness, neutrality. Dislikes: Messy Italians.Everyone knows that the one upside of being trapped in the Guantanamo Bay detention center is the likelihood that someday you’ll be allowed to relocate to a tropical island paradise such as Palau or the Bahamas, where you can go swimming in your tee shirt unmolested. What, then, to make of the news that Switzerland is getting in on the Guantanamo resettlement game? MORE »


STILL BETTER THAN ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME

Risky Theme Park Idea From PETA: Farms Are Like Guantánamo, For Animals

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Hey heads up: PETA is offering to take whatever prison that Obama decides not use for terrorist collecting—Guantánamo, or that maximum security job in Thomson, IL that might be New Guantánamo—and turn it into a “All Living Beings Empathy Center.” It’d be symbolic as shit, right, because the Guantánamo human torture can be sort of tenuously conflated to what it’s like to be a farm animal? This is the idea. MORE »


RUMORS ON THE INTERNETS

What Would Jesus Do If A Fly Landed On Him While Being Interviewed By John Harwood?

Thursday, June 18th, 2009
  • CNBC Jamaican Financial Psychic Jim Cramer just wants to do his televised Tarot reading in peace, but Barack Obama keeps calling in and asking tiresome questions about the future. Enough already! [Think Progress]
  • There is Andrew Sullivan, Heir of Isildur, who hails from the faraway Atlantic. And then there is Anonymous, your teenage son, who comes from the Basement. They are part of the Fellowship of the Internet, and they must stop Sauron from stealing the election in Iran. [AMERICAblog]
  • You look stressed. Why don’t you light a few candles, hop in the tub and relax to the celebrated album Whale Sounds and Michelle Malkin? The first track — “Closing Guantanamo is the easy and lazy thing to do” — always puts us in a magical Enya-like trance. [Michelle Malkin]
  • For today’s RedState Bible Study we will be reading 1 Kings 3:16-28, The Judgement of King Obama: “And two women appeared before Obama and began to bicker in a most incommodious manner, both insisting they were the mother of some unborn baby, which wise King Obama knew was impossible. Finally, the King rose from his gilded throne and bellowed, ‘Bring the unborn child to me, so that I may abort it with my sword.’ And then King Obama swatted a fly that landed on his arm. The End.” [RedState]

CURSED ISLAND HAUNTS

More Uighurs Sent To Another Fun Spot: Bermuda!

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Just avoid that part of Bermuda.These lucky ducklings! All they had to do was spend a mere seven or eight years in prison because they happened to be in Afghanistan when the US invaded, and now they are getting sent to exotic islands all around the world in exchange for their troubles. Yesterday we learned that a bunch of Uighurs were going to Palau, which will melt into the sea soon, and today we find out a handful more have already been settled in Bermuda, known for its wonderful “Triangle” that mysteriously eats people.

Hmm that does not look so badPresident Obama has struck another blow for justice, by finally getting somebody else to take a few Guantanamo prisoners off his hands.

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Fan of exotic headgears and foodstuffsPresident Obama, in addition to his many duties as Illegitimate Muslin Overlord of the United States, runs a secret and lucrative sideline business importing the international meat delicacy known as “Guantanamo Bay manflesh.” His first import arrived in New York this week, and John Boehner does not like this one bit.

OMG International Terrorists Live In Colorado

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Hey look it's riot police in Denver!Well, this would certainly explain why Colorado is under constant assault from terrorist organizations seeking to free their own, and why the whole state has descended into a state of anarchy as Terrorist Cooties spread faster than the swine flu. “Thirty-three international terrorists, many with ties to al-Qaeda, reside in a single federal prison in Florence, Colo., with little public notice,” announces the Washington Post. THANKS DUDES YOU JUST TOLD AL QAEDA WHERE TO LOOK. [Washington Post]

Liveblogging President Obama’s ‘Why I Am Not Shutting Down Guantanamo’ Speech

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

If you love it so much then why don't you gay marry it oh right you ARE gay marrying guantanamoIf there’s two things our president loves, it’s detention camps and torture. So, obviously, he just used the whole “I will shut down that terrible den of Cuban shame” line to get into office, knowing that once he got in he would stop at nothing to open a thousand Guantanamos all over the Atlantic. We hear this speech he’s about to give, allegedly “explaining” his recent “decisions,” is really going to be one of these namby-pamby “on the one hand, but on the other hand” type deals that he loves so much. Let’s WATCH and LEARN. MORE »

The Defining Interview Of Harry Reid’s Political Career, Maybe

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

“REID: I’m saying that the United States Senate, Democrats and Republicans, do not want terrorists to be released in the United States. That’s very clear.

“QUESTION: No one’s talking about releasing them. We’re talking about putting them in prison somewhere in the United States.

“REID: Can’t put them in prison unless you release them.

“QUESTION: Sir, are you going to clarify that a little bit? …

“REID: I can’t make it any more clear than the statement I have given to you. We will never allow terrorists to be released in the United States.” MORE »

‘The Lawyers, However, Are Another Story’

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

This guy, can we prosecute this guy?Well thanks for clearing that up, “administration officials”! On Sunday Rahm Emanuel suggested that “those who devised policy” around torture wouldn’t be prosecuted, but by yesterday other Obama people were rushing to walk that one back. What he meant, apparently, was that officials who ordered the torture shouldn’t be prosecuted, but the lawyers who devised the legal rationale maybe could. MORE »
