egregious’s late night post, Waterboarding, Is That Like Snowboarding?, with that great waterboarding graphic by twolf and title inspired by LS is one of the hottest political stories upcoming on digg!

This weekend Chris “Kit” Bond said that water boarding was like “swimming”. I’d like to see him take a few laps around the pool.

they said I wasn’t too old they didn’t mind that I blog at firedog lake

and they promised me no more then 4 tours of duty in Iraq…that was very nice of them but they refused to put that in writing?

they didn’t promise they wouldn’t then send me to Iran though…I’m not sure they won’t once my four tours are up in Iraq…not happy about that but the recruitment guy promised everything was gonna be all good

I also got a signing bonus, 25000 bucks but only if I don’t get wounded or die

I asked if I could use that money to buy some equiptment for my trip and they said only if I bought the equiptment from someone called “abe rahm off”

I never heard of him, howz his military gear?…I hope it’s good

ok, see all on the other side of the glass

That’s good! One would have to think that Whitehouse and a slew of others would also be opposed to using the Intelligence Committees version. I think that Feingold is the only one on the Intelligence Committee though. And he is also on the Judicial Committee. I fact, most of the signatories are.</p> Selise! That’s good!

Have a mental model about what is appropriate. My HS friend was on the side of the right in being prosecuted with Dr. Spock over Vietnam.
