11:21 am	What if Padilla were to litigate against Yoo Since U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White ruled late Friday in San Francisco that former “enemy combatant” Jose Padilla can proceed with his lawsuit against “torture memo” author John Yoo, the decision has been interpreted by many in the media as a broad vindication of detainees’ rights to sue former Bush administration officials. In fact, the ruling’s implications are narrower than that, and could also be appealed. But, still, the opinion has heartened some civil rights lawyers because it rejects many of the claims made by former Bush officials that they’re not liable for their actions formulating policy in the “war on terror.” That could persuade judges hearing other claims against former officials as well. The ruling also allows the civil case to move forward against John Yoo, and could in the process reveal significant new information not only about Yoo, but about his interaction with the White House, and exactly how he reached the legal conclusions that he did. That information could, in turn, be used against him in future criminal or congressional proceedings.

11:10 am	An Interesting Idea Conservatives Poised to Fight ‘Islamist Lawfare’: Support Sought in Congress, States for Tort Reform in Anti-Muslim Libel Cases Amongst the issues in play is the libaling of Saudi bank tycoon Khalid bin Mahfouz by Rachel Ehrenfeld's book “Funding Evil: How Terrorism is Financed and How to Stop It" - interesting how these things go... Should americans risk setting a global standard on how to smear others? Or would that simply spark a new round of anxiety in america about blueHelmettedOneWorldersCrushingFreeDomeWithFerrignDevilIdeas! Or should we leave these matters to the market to decide. That those who want a free trade in free smearings should not be repressed by the evils of governmental regulations, blueHelmeted or otherwise. Then there is this interesting phrase lawfare wow.... you have to love where that is going, now don't you. All Is Fair In LawFare! Because anything less and you are the ENEMY! MemeLawFare? where will it end? Thank GOD we are a christian nation and can turn to the Department of Homeland Security Canon LawFare Troops to protect us from the Unbelievers who do not accept the divinity of Dubya!

11:02 am	But They WERE closer to jesus U.S. Relies on Tortured Evidence in Habeas Case But if they knew they were about to meet Jesus in the afterlife, then of course they were telling the truth. How much more truthier can folks get? ( Which Evil Libearl Left Wing Judicial Activists Did What ) (Comment on this)
10:53 am	Supreme Court Still Stabbing Troops in Back! The Supreme Court in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld affirmed that the executive can detain enemy fighters during wartime, but that case pertained directly only to the detention of Taliban fighters while the United States was at war with the Afghan government. [ cf Debate Intensifies Over Preventive Detention ] WHAT???? The supreme's limited the POW detention policy to only POWs????? What next? Advocate that the GreatOne is not allowed a limited divine right to personal pre-emptive detention of unbelievers who have fallen into the Obamanation of not believing that the GreatOne is the True WarPresident called forth by the Argument From Divine Comedy? Where will it end? Will americans have to live with the unconvicted allowed to walk around the streets in their town, merely because they were not convicted of unbelief??? It is just SHOCKING what these RadFemiNurfSaucies are willing to advocate in polite society!!! (1 Comment |Comment on this)
9:03 am	Liberals Stabbing Troops In Back To Help Evil! His "lame excuse"? Sestak was an admiral, and the military should be an apolitical organization, at least in functioning democracies. That Specter -- the sleaziest political opportunist in the entire US Senate (a mighty accomplishment, given the bunch that inhabit that place) -- would deign insult a real Democrat for not politicizing his military service is beyond the pale. [ cf The KING of All Hypocritical Statements ] WHAT??? The military should be apolitical???? Where DO they come up with these crazy ideas!!!! What next? civilian votes should count the same as real military votes???? And that some how we should be giving special privileges to civilians??? I mean, do we really want to allow civilians to Marry? What next? Dogs and Cats and Civilians! OH MY!!! { remember, it is the framing that makes the art artistic!!! } (Comment on this)

8:25 am	Who Could Have Imagined Bush Personally Sent Card And Gonzo To Ashcroft's Hospital Bed But that means that Ashcroft PERSONALLY disobeyed the orders of Great Leader by failing to support total war, where there would be no legal limitations on what the Unitary Executive Executated!!! Which Means that Ashcroft was always the EVIL ONE stabbing our troops in the back as a defeatist kapitulattionist appeaser kut undt Runner!!! Who would have known that the HORRORS of Hitlary and RadFemiNurfSaucies were able to put such obvious Klintonesta so Close to Great Leader!!! Remember, it is not the picture, but the frame that counts. (Comment on this)

8:07 am	Oh dear... The ShrillOne Again, the troops, the stabbing, the children, oh my! Marginal thinking about fiscal stimulus Will someone explain to the ShrillOne, that the use of facts is an Obamanation, and that only those who are God Hating America Bashers will retreat into that apostasy. ( What if Pure Ideolog were more important than fact Stuff? ) (Comment on this)
7:52 am	NYT Attacks Guacamole! Stabs Troops In Back! When Credit Card Companies Compete, You Win WHAT??? That is like doubting the Moral Purity of Dubya's Brilliant Military Victory over the drifters and grifters who were persecuting the financial industry!!! And that is attacking the Troops! and is unamerican! Which is what the darkies did in their recent evil against the innocent blushing virgins of the credit card sector of the financial industry that has always been the Most Militarily Victoriously Glorious of all debtInstrumentCreators!!! ( Oh this things only gets sillier. Read it, and go riffing, I did. ) (Comment on this)
7:46 am	got Deflationary Spiral? Now, if you think that unemployment is going to be at or above current levels for the next 18 months, wouldn’t you think there would be a significant risk of deflation? In fact, however, the average forecast is for an inflation rate of 1.7 percent next year. What’s the logic? Bottom line: when I look at those unemployment projections, they look very bleak, and suggest that we’re in serious danger of falling into deflation. That is, to me they make the case FOR another stimulus. [ cf Economists oppose more stimulus? ] Deflationary Spiral? how dare the shrillOne use a D word! It's like saying that the darkies will attack the market! I mean, how can that be? The War President has majikal powers! he will protect use from the Darkies, and there is no reason for an economic stimulus, because our Troops are still Winning, even if they are gays and grlz, and socialist welfare statists, but they are winning!!! The defeatist propoganda!!! Besides the economy is NOT GAY!!! it is merely pleased in a very heterosexually family oriented kinda way!!! Rumour Mongers!!! (Comment on this)
7:34 am	More in the OhDuhNotThem drudgery The Right-Wing Prescription for Economic Recovery: Lionize the Rich and Demonize the Poor One has to respect the part where at least the wingNuts sorta get it that there is a demand side problem that influences the economics. Hence that the Poor are failing to do their patriotic duty. I wish that we could just click our ruby slippers together and go back to when the trickleDown of voodooEconomics was going to work... I mean, toke this DavidFrumishNeff: [B]y expanding government regulatory power, the Obama administration may invite innovation-thwarting meddling. Back in the 1990s, entrepreneurs used to say that America was the only country on earth where you could borrow $100 million without owning a suit. That's the thing we need to defend. What we need to end is the ability to borrow $100,000 without a down payment. ( op cit ) ( I emboldened it, cause, dude, the colours ) I mean, like wow. $100 Million with no collateral, but $100K, well that is what we want the Obamanation to apostasyzelate! BLINK! So do YOUR PART, before the Obamanation brings back the Flying Saucers to take away our White Women!!! (Comment on this)
7:29 am	How did that Happen? Did we actually invade someone else? I just noticed that we have a big V in the DOW numbers, year to date, and that can only happen if we invaded some place. It was true when we restored the wetlands of IranqIstania, so it must be true today. Thus proving that the WarPresident is still protecting america from the horrors of Obamanation and their evil stimulus package. (Comment on this)

7:53 pm	Design Patterns Show Intelligent Design How DNA Proves God Made All Creatures Great and Small And for tasteyBits, he uses a microsoft programmer, and the existence of design patterns. What if people needed to understand that 'design patterns' include things like the problems of 'anti-patterns' and, well, uh, the problem that even when there is a person who can be identified as having checked in that file, that really should not be used as a basis for arguing that there was any form of intelligence near the design...

7:39 pm	Why are conservatives worried about the stimulus? If they believe that there is no need for it, it can not be a problem. If they beleive that it is not working because things are not in the majikal socialist paradise, then how is this a conservative whine? If folks do not consider the economy the best of all possible worlds, why are they blaming the government for this problem, are they not suppose to just click their ruby slippers together and the survival of the fitest will put them back where they are in the natural order of things??? What if the problem is that folks who thot they were majikally entitled because they supported Dubya, wake up one morning in a world where thy are not required - and forget how they helped get america here. That they do not want to think about the compromise to the financial sector that started with the freeze up back in 2007.... since that would mean dealing with tough problems, and real economics, and not merely the voodooEconomics that gave them MBA land.... What if the psuedoCons had to learn economics as a part of showing their street cred to old skool republicans???? Sorry FreakVeilleUSA, if you want to visit the old skool happy stories, you learn from the actual fiasco of the great depression, support the great compression, and seek to find the restoration of the old skool notion of the prudent man theory. Where suddenly the idea of failure is acceptable again, where the need to demonstrate competency is important again, and the mystical belief in voodoo as a basis of economics is put back where it belongs, in charming 19th century gothic romance stories.

7:24 pm	Are You Having Fun Yet? The Rachel Maddow Show: Christian Conservatism's Shadowy Secret Society What if the problem is that the christians of the old school were wrong - and that we need to have the new revelation about Empowerment.... Ah yes, find this twitter RT @fleckman @PriscillaymbK23 They blocked the runway in Honduras 2 keep ex prez out. Obama is out of the country. I'm just sayin. #TCOT There was a time when the advocacy of overthrowing a seated government was consider UnAmerican. makes me wonder who's side these folks are really on. could that be why they are still having a problem working out what it means to have an HONOR worth swearing to uphold unto death....

7:18 pm	Should the Waffen SS have a place in the new Army? Nazis in the U.S. military: SPLC will ask Congress for action Hum..... What if Congress were wondering why there was even any thought that there were Nazi's in the Modern Socialist Welfare Queens of the DOD, since wasn't the point to drown the government and it's parasite elements in the bathtub? Ah yes... that problem might be a problem of class... Hum... What if we were to restore the Waffen SS Cavalry.... (3 Comments |Comment on this)
7:15 pm	Must Read Take on the PhillyPoolProblem Mirror Time: How Many Black Kids Are Swimming in Any of Our Pools? My dog in this hunt. Philly is the only place I ever remember having spears thrown at me. It has some issues, but as the writer presents, the could be class issues more than race. A thot experiment for all around.

7:06 pm	Here We Are Now, Entertain Us... I'm with stoopid, He's with brainless New Evidence that Bush Administration Impeded 3 Investigations into Alleged Massacre of Up to 2,000 Prisoners in Afghanistan ... Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) has issued a call for a criminal probe in the wake of a major New York Times story with new evidence that the Bush Administration impeded at least three federal investigations into alleged war crimes in Afghanistan in 2002. [ cf Heads Up ] Smells like TeamSpirit... Who will ask to find out who was impeding justice? Or would this be a bad time to talk about bringing the vacuum off law behind us??? Here we are now, InfoTainUs! (Comment on this)
