Stressful times, these days. Here's a little something to make you laugh, or maybe smile, or at least frown a bit less. If the response is favorable (meaning if there is a response), I'll post the rest of it next Friday. Literary criticism is welcome and encouraged, as long as it's constructive. It should be noted that any similarities to any Presidents, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

Enjoy! (Seriously, I command you to enjoy this.)

I've refrained from writing much about the Foley scandal because so many others have said what I would so much better, but now I have an interesting story to share courtesy of my friend Anastasia. Read More

I'm heading down to the World Can't Wait protest/rally (against the new Military Commissions Law, torture in general, and torture of me in particular - all politics is local, they say, and I'm as local as I get) at the City/County building in a few minutes. I'll post an update if I come back. With over 225 rallies going on nationwide today, I doubt there's enough manpower to round us all up at once, so I should still have a few days to blog and take my dogs to the park before I'm extraordinarily rendited (rendoitered? renditionated?).

The hollow display of "dissent" by Republican leaders over torture might have been tolerable if it had had a different result, but last Friday - with little fanfare and even less media coverage - the Senate passed a law that didn't just take a weak stance on the subject; the new law (and that's a word that can only be used ironically here) eliminates the single most important element of any civilized society, the right of the accused to face their accuser in court (also known as habeas corpus). Even worse than that, the new Military Commissions Law gives the president (or people he designates) the power to declare anyone - anyone - an "enemy combatant" and imprison them indefinitely with no recourse of any kind. It also allows them to be tried and convicted based on secret evidence and coerced testimony. Read More

This week we Americans are in for a special treat: our fearless leader, in the best tradition of doublespeak, explains to us and to the lawmakers under his heel why hate is good and inequality makes us all safer from terrorism and a vengeful God. It’s the Federal Marriage Amendment, and it’s something God surely told Bush to do in one of their regular afternoon chats. Read More
