Offering up this bit of my recent political blasphemy:

Is slicing up a guy’s junk with a scalpel considered torture? That’s the latest new homoerotic sexual perversion I’ve recently heard attributed to these sadomasochistic freaks. And let’s not forget Yoo’s infamous TORTURING TODDLERS TESTICLES dilemma whereupon he couldn’t make a judgment as to the limits of the President’s power even in that regard.

These are some truly sick bastards, and those that are making excuses and rationalizations for them ought to be held accountable right along with the perps. We’ve got the entire lot of them torture cheerleading on TV as evidence of collusion. Nobody in their right mind if pro torture. Don’t be misled by the consistent application of the lie that half of America approves. You know better.

A comment I recently posted at Pandagon, relating to the ongoing attempts of the Goposaur Party and their flailing about to rebuild/rebrand their image.

Here’s the problem as it has evolved.

They lie and then they have to lie about lying.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

At the end of the day, it looks as if there’s a bedrock 30 percent of people that wouldn’t know the difference between a rainstorm and somebody pissing on their shoes.

This meeting is an attempt to figure out why their propaganda only works on a third of the population and devise creative new ways to bamboozle some few percent of sane people away from the reality based community. Problem is, that once you’ve accustomed yourself to an habitual liar, the internal filters kick in and you can smell bullshit when a cow farts in Iowa.

Their lies (torture anyone?) are now so arrogant that they are akin to proclaiming the Earth is flat!

We could all help the Earth by reducing the carbon footprint of these useless self improvement Republican conferences. Troglodytes lack self awareness, so I’m going to help the goobers out with a little free advice:

If you want to try and make people believe that the Earth is flat, the use of
of a foul-tempered, bellicose fat man on the radio, a few carping females, and a smattering of macho-posturing overcompensating mama’s Fauxboys just ain’t gonna ‘get ‘er done’. Been there, done that. No matter how much these media mavens scream out about their newly found love of Flatlandia, the only people that risk “falling off the edge” are those these ideological freaks would ‘disappear’ without process. Flatlandians don’t tolerate dissent.

Starfleet does. See the new Trek.

Rumors of the 2009 release of an Apple device with a 10″ screen are apparently based on Apple’s purchase of 10″ screens from some known supplier. That appears to be the total of all known facts to date. You have to give it to Apple security people. They keep a pretty tight lid on their trade secrets.

FWIW, I predict a 10 inch device that arrives in a form factor mimicking an Itouch. It’ll allow for, but won’t include, a true keyboard input (probably via the (optional) Apple bluetooth keyboard). There won’t be any hinges or lid. It’ll be a tablet device with a thickness of less than half an inch. The Itouch is a third of an inch thick and the MacBook Air is three fourths of an inch thick, so a tablet device at half an inch provides a stiffer frame and more internal volume (battery capacity) than a smaller Itouch. I’m assuming you’d need a little stiffer frame to support a ten inch display, as well as more space for the batteries to power it.

Wish list. Include a charging dock that doubles as an adjustable support stand. I want to be able to set my Apple Touchbook on the kitchen table at an angle that I can view while drinking coffee. Without a stand, you’re forced to set the unit flat on the table, which forces you (because of limits to display viewing angle) to literally hover over top of it for best viewing. It’s also more prone to spills or something hitting the screen if it’s laying flat on the table as opposed to being at an angle.
