Hurrah!! Victory over the red socialists

Oil prices sank nearly $4 Thursday after the Chinese government said it would lift subsidies on gasoline and diesel in a move that could curb demand from the country's rapidly growing economy.

Light, sweet crude for July delivery was down $3.99 at $132.78 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange in midday trading.

Well, there you see!

The invisible foot of the market working it's marvels!!!

End Communist Domination of Red Socialist Dogma, and the prices are not longer artificially inflated.

Or that the overall demand drops to the market support level...

But that would mean that if americans were to demand less gasoline to waste in commuter parking lots, then the price would go down???

yada-yada-yada TERRORISM!!!

Thank GOD we have RoboBushCheney

They Really
yada-yada-yada TERRORISM!!!

Hence We MUST win the War On Geeks!!! Until all of the Unbelievers Have Been STOPPED!!!

The U.S. military is shifting $32 million away from its premiere research agency -- because that agency, Darpa, can't find enough qualified people to run its cutting-edge projects.

A Pentagon "reprogramming action," obtained by DANGER ROOM, takes the cash from Darpa to "fund higher priorities within the Department" -- including "infrastructure to prevent IT security breaches." That money is available, the document adds, because the agency "continues to underexecute its Research, Development, Test and Evaluation programs."

We TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!

But did anyone listen when they could!!!

That there IS a clear and compelling NATIONAL SECURITY INTEREST in limiting access to military grade mathemantics, and military grade fire, to only those who have SHOWN their TRUE LOYALTY to Great Leader!!!

Are YOU doing YOUR part to stop Geek Culture Before Geek Culture Stops You!!!!

They Never Did Care One Way OR the OTHER!!

What if the nation were in a 'time of war' in which there were real needs to uphold our american values, and that we were a nation of Laws and not of Men...

Hey kids, did you do the right thing? Or did YOU back terrorists with your Investment Portfolio!

YES we are asking YOU, are YOU backing Terrorists by badly investing in dangerous Pro-Terrorists Kliques:

To defend itself against a lawsuit by the widows of three American soldiers who died on one of its planes in Afghanistan, a sister company of the private military firm Blackwater has asked a federal court to decide the case using the Islamic law known as Shari’a.

The lawsuit “is governed by the law of Afghanistan,” Presidential Airways argued in a Florida federal court. “Afghan law is largely religion-based and evidences a strong concern for ensuring moral responsibility, and deterring violations of obligations within its borders.”

If the judge agrees, it would essentially end the lawsuit over a botched flight supporting the U.S. military. Shari’a law does not hold a company responsible for the actions of employees performed within the course of their work.
...
In April, Presidential asked a federal judge in Florida to dismiss the lawsuit because the case is controlled by Afghanistan’s Islamic law. If the judge agrees that Afghan law applies, the lawsuit would be dismissed. The company also plans to ask a judge to dismiss the lawsuit on the constitutional grounds that a court should not interfere in military decision-making.
[ cf U.S. company: crash lawsuit governed by Islamic law (emphasis mine) ]

YES, go back and really re-read that.

The Black Water Army, which is indemnified in iRaq from being held legally accountable, has decided that they really LOVE those Islamo-Fascist Muslim Shari'a laws MORE than the contracting nations laws.... WOW!!!

And to think that this is a Case In Raleigh Afghanistan? Helloo? I guess from now on out we can just call those former states of the union, Upper and Lower iCarolina, where the Islamo-Fascists sit around doing their whole Haji Thing....

So yes boys and girls, some times backing the privatization of the military means supporting foreigners against our american troops....

Would this be a bad time to talk about the nice american family who is having to set up a trust fund to raise the money to bury their child who died fighting in Afghanistan? Or would that merely be more Piling ON???

Thank GOD we have RoboBushCheney!!!!
They Shiney!!!!

They have no idea what a law is to begin with!

update: it is GREAT to hear that the president of a private corporate is going to pitch that they have special military grade rights in Afghanistan, that they should not be held responsible for....

Tastey...

Heads up players

Doesn't that actually endorse and extend to private actors the Nixonian view that if the president says it's legal, it's legal, regardless of what the law says and the Constitution says? Wouldn't that set an awful precedent that an administration could get private actors to do whatever they wanted including breaking the law?
[ cf That's Some Compromise ]

WOW.

And what exactly is the legal burden of proof that a person believed that the Imaginary Tooth Fairey brought to them the divine right to do the right thing.... And hence, because of course the Imaginary Tooth Fairey speaks for El Presidente, then they should be immune from the Brutal Assault of the Law Folks who HATE FREEDOM!!!

Thank GOD we have RoboBushCheney!

They no longer need to send out special messages through the ether....

or would that be too close to an admission that you have always been a terrorist.

Yesterday we learned about the CIA's larger involvement in developing torture techniques at Guantanamo Bay -- techniques previously thought to have been developed primarily by the military.
...

Just the week after that, a senior CIA lawyer, Jonathan Fredman, instructed Guantanamo officers on various SERE-pedigreed torture methods, including waterboarding. "If the detainee dies," Fredman said, "you're doing it wrong." In response, the chief Guantanamo Bay attorney, Lt. Col. Diane Beaver, said, "We will need documentation to protect us."

Do I have to explain to americans that SERE school is about teaching folks how to deal with what was called "TORTURE" back when TORTURE was a CRIME.

Ah yes... but, uh, when it comes time to make america a rogue state - because the folks in the Chain Of Command have decided that BEING the state sponsoring terrorism is MORE Important... well, who better to go talk to than the folks who have been preping our folks to DEAL with the very real threat that they will be handed over to folks who will torture them.

That there is a real live prospect that they will not get a board certified torturer, and really risk a high chance of actually coming up DEAD.

Would this be a bad time to explain that IN THE REAL WORLD the old myths about 'name, rank and serial number' went with Elvis Back to the Mother Planet???

Or should we just say:
