BooOOOoooOOooooOOOooooOOOO

I Would Never Have Thought...

... That I would ever be quoting anything Reagan the moron has said with approval. But special times calls for special acts.

"The United States participated actively and effectively in the negotiations of the Convention [Against Torture]. It marks a significant step in the development during this century of international measures against torture and other inhuman treatment or punishment. Ratification of the Convention by the United States will clearly express United States opposition to torture, an abhorrent practice unfortunately still prevalent in the world today," - president Ronald Reagan, 1988.

Now compare this clear position against torture with that which has been espoused by the Asshole in Chief and his cronies and you see how far down we have come.

This country is going to hell in a hand-basket and the sad thing is that there is a cheering section for it.

There You Have It

... According to "Colombian" and "U.S. Officials"! And we all know how honest the Colombians and the U.S Officials are when it comes to Venezuela. Too bad we are too busy with agonizing over Iran and so this story will not get the attention it is meant to get.

Venezuela Increasingly A Conduit For Cocaine

Colombian drug kingpins in league with corrupt Venezuelan military officers are increasingly using this country as a way station for smuggling cocaine to the United States and Europe, according to Colombian and U.S. officials.

Hunt that Man for the Criminal He Is.

Torture Complaint Filed Against Rumsfeld

American and European rights groups filed a legal complaint in France accusing former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld of responsibility for torture in Iraq and at Guantanamo Bay.

The complaint was filed with the Paris prosecutor's office as Rumsfeld arrived in France for a visit, according to the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights, the Berlin-based European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights and two Paris-based groups, the International Federation of Human Rights and the League of Human Rights.

Florida Preacher Starts "Pull Up Your Pants" Campaign

A Florida preacher has become the self-proclaimed chief of the fashion police to stop young men from wearing baggy pants.

Jacksonville pastor Diane Robinson said every time she sees a young man wearing sagging pants, she is personally offended. So, she started a belt collection for young men called "Pull Up Your Pants!"

No Convictions in Trial Against Muslim Charity

David D. Cole, a professor of constitutional law at Georgetown University, said the jury’s verdict called into question the government’s tactics of using secret evidence to freeze a charity’s assets. When, at trial, “they have to put their evidence on the table, they can’t convict anyone of anything,” he said. “It suggests the government is really pushing beyond where the law justifies them going.” Prosecutors were trying to show that the charity, based in a Dallas suburb, was not simply trying to help poor Palestinians, as Holy Land officials said, but was in fact an arm of the radical Islamic group Hamas; the 36 charges included conspiracy, money laundering and providing financial support to a foreign terrorist organization.

The case involved more than a decade of investigation, almost two months of testimony — including some from Israeli intelligence agents using pseudonyms — and mounds of documents, wiretap transcripts and even videotapes dug up in a backyard in Virginia.

But after more than 19 days of deliberations, the jury acquitted one of the five individual defendants of all but one charge, on which it deadlocked. Most jury members also appeared ready to acquit two other defendants of most charges, and failed to reach a verdict on the two principal organizers and on the foundation itself, which had been the largest Muslim charity in the United States until the government froze its assets in late 2001.

Outing Gives Potter Passages New Meaning

NEW YORK - With author J.K. Rowling's revelation that master wizard Albus Dumbledore is gay, some passages about the Hogwarts headmaster and rival wizard Gellert Grindelwald have taken on a new and clearer meaning.

The British author stunned her fans at Carnegie Hall on Friday night when she answered one young reader's question about Dumbledore by saying that he was gay and had been in love with Grindelwald, whom he had defeated years ago in a bitter fight.

I Shop, Therefore I Am.

Benjamin R. Barber, political theorist and author of Jihad vs. McWorld

Capitalism is stymied, courting long-term disaster. We still work hard, but only so that we can pay and play. In order to turn reluctant consumers with few unsatisfied core needs into permanent shoppers, producers must dumb down consumers, shape their wants, take over their life worlds, encourage impulse buying, cultivate shopoholism and invent new needs. At the same time, they empower kids as shoppers by legitimizing their unformed tastes and mercurial wants and detaching them from their gatekeeper mothers and fathers and teachers and pastors. The kids include toddlers who recognize brand logos before they can talk and commodity-minded baby Einsteins who learn to shop before they can walk.

Even the New York Times...

...Has Noticed the Stench coming out of the Congress!

With Democrats Like These ...

It was bad enough having a one-party government when Republicans controlled the White House and both houses of Congress. But the Democrats took over, and still the one-party system continues.

Don't Jump Into Any Conclusions Now...

Montgomery, Alabama - Baptist minister Rev. Gary Aldridge was found hog-tied, wearing two wet suits, a face mask, diving gloves, rubberized underwear, and a rubber hood. No foul play was involved and the 51-year-old pastor of Montgomery's Thorington Road Baptist Church was alone when he died. "While the Montgomery Advertiser, which first obtained the autopsy records, reported on Aldridge's two wet suits, the family newspaper chose not to mention what police discovered inside the minister's rubber briefs." That would be a big, black dildo, not so much inside the pastor's rubberized undies as stuffed up the pastor's ass.

Thorington Road Baptist Church has asked that people "refrain from speculation" about Rev. Aldridge's demise.

Smoking gun.

Notice that at least the dildo had a condom on it!!!

Free the iPhone : Support wireless freedom!

Apple touts the iPhone as the “Internet in your pocket” — but it’s not. You can’t use it without signing on with AT&T, and once you do they cripple services, limit what you can do and restrict where you can go on the wireless Web. We need Wireless Freedom — and our elected officials are the only ones who can give it to us: the freedom to use all Internet devices on any wireless network in a market that offers true high-speed Internet and real consumer choice. Take action today. Demand that the FCC and Congress free the iPhone — and future gadgets like it — and put the Internet in the hands of everyone.

The ‘Good Germans’ Among Us

By any legal standards except those rubber-stamped by Alberto Gonzales, we are practicing torture, and we have known we are doing so ever since photographic proof emerged from Abu Ghraib more than three years ago. As Andrew Sullivan, once a Bush cheerleader, observed last weekend in The Sunday Times of London, America’s “enhanced interrogation” techniques have a grotesque provenance: “Verschärfte Vernehmung, enhanced or intensified interrogation, was the exact term innovated by the Gestapo to describe what became known as the ‘third degree.’ It left no marks. It included hypothermia, stress positions and long-time sleep deprivation.”

What Could Have Been

"He won a Nobel Peace Prize on top of an Oscar and an Emmy and all three in the same year!
I find myself a little dispirited by Gore's well-deserved win. I feel like it's the universe telling us what a broken political system we have: This is the man who was elected by popular vote, who could have been, should have been our 43rd President."

--Joan Walsh

Instead we became stuck with a triple-imbecile. And we have triple and quadruple-imbeciles who are running to be the next president while those with the intellect face a barrage of attempts to get them away from having their views be heard by the masses.

Too Late...

I wish I knew about this project sooner. I have to mark my calendar for next year.

2007 Blogger Boobie-Thon

The 2007 Boobie-Thon is over. Just as fast as it arrived, it has now ended. I can not thank our volunteers enough for all their hard work. Really, if they didn’t volunteer we wouldn’t be doing this every single year. This was my first year as the Event Coordinator and the volunteers welcomed me and worked their butts off for you! Thank you all!!

Than there are all of you out there. People who donated. People who submitted photos and also everyone who linked to and wrote about this year’s Boobie-Thon. You helped get the word out by getting people to this site, raising awareness. We’ve raised $5,666.00 this year. That’s over $40,000.00 in six years!! That in and of itself it amazing. I know I didn’t do as well as past years, but I promise that we’ll be back again next year and we’re going to try to kick some major ass to make up for it. I’ve learned a lot this past week and plan on using that knowledge to make next year even better.

Kentucky Fried Cruelty

KFC suppliers cram birds into huge waste-filled factories, breed and drug them to grow so large that they can’t even walk, and often break their wings and legs. At slaughter, the birds’ throats are slit and they are dropped into tanks of scalding-hot water—often while they are still conscious. It would be illegal for KFC to abuse dogs, cats, pigs, or cows in these ways.
