How creepy is the 2004 CIA torture report released today? Who knows! Ask someone with an attention span or read it yourself, you fancypants high school diplomas. For the rest of us, there are brief blockquotes on liberal blogs to read, so click the clicky, “for real.” MORE »


TORTURE PORN

Maybe Waterboarded Radio Host Was Faking It!

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Next time try feeding him to snakes.Hmm, could this possibly be true? Could that Chicago radio jackass have not undergone a Spiritual Conversion regarding torture after having a stream of water gently poured on his half-covered face for a few seconds? Gawker has salacious details in the form of emails from the guy’s publicist suggesting that this was all “a hoax.” MORE »


WHAT'S HIS THING WITH COWS?

Cocky Right-Wing Radio Host Gets Waterboarded, Goes Insane In Six Seconds

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

A right-wing radio loudmouth in Chicago named “Erich ‘Mancow’ Muller” (hey Chicago readers: explain) thought that the “waterboarding is torture” argument was just a bunch of MoveOn.org poppycock and, as many drink-soaked former Trotskyite popinjays have done before him, submitted himself to the process to prove it — and this time, live on his show. Ha ha ha. Whoops! MORE »

Pelosi, CIA Should Have One Of Those Twitter Fights, Loser Goes To Jail

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Nancy Pelosi reiterated during a press conference this morning that when she received a CIA briefing on “enhanced interrogations techniques” in the fall of 2002, she was not told about waterboarding, but she was told that everything else they were doing was LEGAL, backed by LEGAL OPINIONS. This contradicts a CIA memo released last week showing that Pelosi knew about waterboarding and loved it so much. Pelosi and the CIA are each calling each other terrible liars. They’re both right!

Lindsey Graham: TORTURE WORKS, I LOVE TORTURE, EVIL ANCIENT TORTURE, MWAHAHAHHAHA

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Wasn’t Lindsey “Grahamnesty” one of those Republicans who hated torture so much? It was “Grahamnesty” and John Warner and John McCain. “Waterboarding, under any circumstances, represents a clear violation of U.S. law,” they wrote in 2007. But Graham has since determined that hmm, nevermind, Dick Cheney says on the teevee that torture works, and it’s worked for “500 years,” so why do all of these liberals refuse to acknowledge Torquemada for keeping America safe these past eight years?

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

Foxy like a fox.Oh hey look at that, it appears our next Attorney General is not some bilious torture-fetishist sack of ooze!

CHARMING TO THE LAST

Dick Cheney Proud of Ruining America

Monday, December 15th, 2008


And aren’t we going to miss this guy, Mr. Richard Cheney? Here’s your “vice” president talking about his proudest moment: Authorizing the anti-American and unconstitutional torture of terror suspect. The 9/11 attacks didn’t “change” him, they just made him more right about everything! [ABC News]

Don't try this at home without a strap-onAt first this might look like the Formula One guy’s kinky Nazi S&M hooker orgy, but no, it’s just Christopher Hitchens getting waterboarded while terrible spin-class techno music plays in the background. We look forward to the tasering video next. [Vanity Fair]


OHIO

Ted Strickland’s Cornhole Festival Rules Out Any Chance For Veep Selection

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Yesterday, Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, who many suggested would be a great white vice president for Barack Obama, ruled out any speculation of his chances by invoking the words of famous Civil War Criminal William Tecumseh Sherman: “If drafted, I will not run; nominated, I will not accept; and if elected, I will not serve. So, I don’t know how more crystal clear I can be.” Why is he lying so much? It’s now clear: he has another duty as Governor that need his full attention this summer, that are far more important than “auditioning” for veep: the first annual “Ted Strickland for Governor 2008 Cornhole Tournament Tour.” This sounds like fun. How does one get involved with Ted Strickland’s Cornhole? MORE »

Friday, June 6th, 2008

That secret Bilderberg meeting between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? Now they’re saying it actually happened at the NW Washington home of one of California’s lady senators, Diane Feinstein. She is also an older liberal woman in the Senate who sometimes is a loser, so Hillary asked to borrow her living room. Feinstein turned it into a Chamber of Naked Horror. MORE »
