Missed him. But I just saw LC asked about torturing for al-qaeda link and she didn’t really answer the question.

I’m starting to wonder whether our sclerotic political system has made change in WDC nigh impossible… that this isn’t so
much a lack of Dem spine but rather a structural problem – like a disease, or a symptom of the corruption and stasis that inevitably comes with an era of imperial decline. Politicians structurally incapacle of acting independently of the corporations that bought and paid for them and state security apparatus so powerful that it dictates basic policy to legislators instead of the other way around. Change in such a system can occur only within narrowly prescribed bounds, through a carefully orchestrated ritual dance… something like a Renaissance pavane, danced between the legislators, the bureaucracy and it’s captive president, the corporations and the militarists, and the less-than-free press.

I’m now watching G-Steph. Is this our future? To be subjected to Liz Cheney for the next 8yrs?

Maureen Dowd has been calling Cheney out on his schtick. She calls him dastardly, so I came up with a photoshop of him as Dick Dastardly, cartoon villain.

thanks but i’ve already got that from reading other stuff and at this moment more evidence doesn’t seem critical to me. right now looking more for ideas i have yet to be exposed to.
