Cheney Deserves Torture With Legal Fees

Cheney is in the news again. This time he's accused of ordering a CIA "couterterrorism"program kept secret from Congress. I hope they nail the SOB. In the old days one could challenge guys like this to a duel and get some quick satisfaction. But today Cheney hides behind layers and layers of legal manuevering to avoid prosecution. Basically it's a de facto innocent until proven broke strategy . But I'd settle for his  bankruptcy from legal fees. He values money and power more than his life anyway.

I don't like lawyers. But I don't like Cheney more. Get an asshole to go after an asshole.

Tehran Police Uniforms:Why Written In English ?

Todays front page of The Wall Street Journal shows a club-wielding Tehran, Iran policeman beating a man in front of Tehran University. The graffiti on the wall behind the combatants is written in Farsi-the language since the 9th century. Yet on the back of the police officers uniform are the words "Police" written in English not Farsi ! 

Looks like propaganda by the WSJ and others served up for dummies. 

Rumsfeld and Cheney Conversation

Don: Looks like Obama and AG Holder want to come after us for torture.

Dick: That's graitude. After making the country comfy for blacks by destroying our education system and banning critical thinking among white students now they want to preach morals to their betters.

Don: That's irritating. Torture? How about 40 years of political correctness torture? All are equal? What a crock. What's George think?

Dick: I havn't told him what to think yet.

Don: He's writing a book?

Dick: Now that's torture. 

Don: How's your heart Dick?

Dick: What are you getting at?

Don: Fight political correctness with political correctness. You know. Get a wheelchair. Strap an oxygen bottle to it. Be escorted by some uniformed contractors. Try to look like Lord Nelson did. Sling your arm. Wear an eye patch. Get sympathy form congress and the American people. Turn in your bird shooting guns. Kick a Jew and then embrace the same Jew. You know something for everyone. Broaden out.

Dick: How about me being a witness for the prosecution?

Moderation As A Goal

Too much of anything is bad.

Too much credit led to home buyers having only to sign a contract to assume title to multi-hundreds of thousand dollar houses. Even the stock buyers that led to the Crash of '29 had to put down at least 10%. And so todays foreclosures and credit crunch are a direct result of criminally-loose credit requirements.

Too many laws lead to a forsaking of the spirit of laws to a following of the fine points of laws or what is not technically covered. Consider San Francisco's legal profession community . Attorneys in S.F. take up 42 pages of fine print in the Yellow Pages. In contrast there are only 6 pages of electricians. And what do we get for all this legal "protection" from these roving hyenas? We get a "sanctuary city" where young, illegal, criminal immigrants are are allowed to grow up shielded from federal law enforcement so they can commit adult crimes. A society can exist with a spirit of fair play but not with a conniving legal- law-breaking mentality.

Too much concentration on national defense leads seamlessly to a C.I.A. that foments trouble that leads to war on a proactive and preemptive base. Better to spend military money on infrastructure improvement. Less opportunity for mischief.

Moderate is better than too much.
