The paper also reported that Cheney has still neither publicly nor privately apologized to Whittington for the shooting.

When the Bush administration tried to get people to use the term homicide bomber instead of suicide bomber. It was just so wonderfully stupid on so many levels.

I generally don't like how some people assume that all homophobes are secretly gay but if this doesn't look like gay fetish porn I really don't know what does.

Ron Paul running for president in 2008. How people were defending his cartoonishly racist newsletters (“If you have ever been robbed by a black teenaged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be.”). Though that's more depressing than funny.

“If you try to catch someone that has stolen a purse from you, there is no chance to catch them,” Dr. Paul said. - Ron Paul in 1996

He started to deny writing that stuff in 2001.







And looking back from the year 2019 this picture sure make me trust Dr. Paul about him not being racist.

The 9/12 thing made it clear that Glenn Beck was crazy. Using 9/11 to get insane conservatives isn’t exactly hard but 9/12? The day most Americans were angry, scared and didn’t know who to blame? That poo poo didn’t get focus grouped, that’s genuine Beck insanity.

Remember the Bolivian elections in october? How the "Organization of American States" were questioning the legitimacy of the results?

Just skimming the wiki page for the OAS tells you everything you need to know.

quote:

During the Cold War, the United States hoped the OAS would be a bulwark against the spread of communism. Since the 1990s, the organization has focused on election monitoring.

quote:

The OAS has two funds, one for the General Secretariat, and one for specific programs and initiatives. The General Assembly asks for contributions from each member country based on its capacity to pay. In 2018 the General Secretariat's budget was $85 million of which the US contributed $50 million. In 2017 the US contributed $17 million to the fund for specific programmes which was almost a third of the total contributions for that year.

I'm looking forward to the OAS report about the democratic primaries.

While the book isn’t the greatest I always like how Joseph Heller put it in Closing Time (his sequel to Catch-22):

goddamn, i'd love trump if he wasn't so relentlessly terrible.
LOL those CIA fucks in tears over Trump disrespecting their monument to their fallen comrades. Just imagine what kind of poo poo they did “in service to their country”.

PS. I googled a bit about CIA backed groups killing nuns. These are some quotes from an opinion piece from the NYT in 1990 titled: “No credible doubt that Contras murdered nuns”.

quote:

It is undoubtedly true that the nuns weren't killed because they were nuns. The contras ambush vehicles routinely - Bishop Shlaeffer was himself the victim of a contra ambush in 1985 - and the attack was probably meant to stop suspected social or health workers.
Oh, I see! They just murdered the nuns accidentally while they were really trying to murder social and health workers.

quote:

The United States has two direct concerns in this incident. One of the two murdered nuns was an American, Sister Maureen Courtney, and those accused of the murders are sponsored by the United States (the most recent contra aid was voted by Congress last April).
Looks bad when your hired killers kill one of your own I guess.

quote:

The White House reaction to the ambush has been to say Managua has no evidence to charge that the attack was by the contras, and to express the hope that ''the Sandinistas do not seek to obscure this tragedy by engaging in a propaganda battle'' (news analysis, Jan. 4). I take this to mean the Nicaraguan Government ought to refrain from identifying the criminals. Understandably, the United States has no plans to investigate the ambush site.
Don’t you hate it when there’s a murder and people try to obscure the tragedy by correctly identifying the killer?
