Politics, I guess

[pameladean]

In an attempt to escape from the horrors of my beloved country's alleged foreign policy, I've been rereading Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe books. Partway into The Red Box I realized that there really is no escape, but at least Archie Goodwin has delivered the last word on the use of torture. Here it is:

"They say it works sometimes, but even if it does, how could you depend on anything you got that way? Not to mention that after you had done it a few times any decent garbage can would be ashamed to have you found in it."

Further commentary cut-tagged, since it's really redundant.



According to the ACLU, people who ought to be in search of a garbage can with no shame include that shining star of smart war management and sunny optimism, Donald Rumsfeld, and the indescribable George Bush himself.

I hope the sky falls down on them, the creepy bastards.

You know what's creepier? To have someone tell you, in all sincerity, that they're very disappointed in George Bush since the election...because he's become too liberal.

It terrifies me what people like that will try to elect next time.

Bush has four more years to utterly betray these people. (Unless, of course, they are filthy-rich business owners who favor the neocons. We can be sure Bush will keep alllll his promises to them.)
