Alberto Gonzalez weakly defended himself yesterday against allegations he was involved in shaping policies that led to the Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib abuse scandals. He danced around the answers like Fred Astaire, giving an “I don’t know” or an “I don’t remember” to anything remotely connected to prisoner abuse. Aside from openly condemning the use of abuse (which reminds me of Bush saying he’s committed to a strong dollar), he avoided the issue like the plague. Some democrats are still skeptical, but of course the GOP feels he completely exonerated himself. Over at Counterpunch.org, Brian Foley would like to remind us that it’s not just his involvement with abuse that we should decry him for, but the mere fact that he worked to give the president the power to detain prisoners indefinitely and without a shred of due process. Yeah, that’s bad too. In fact, I suppose it is worse. He cites a couple of cases where innocent men were imprisoned with no trial or anything, and later freed… and makes the good point that involving a court would likely prevent something like that from happening.
Is India in contact with UFOs? This strange, amateurish news site would like us to think so. Citing completely ambiguous sources and making numerous questionable statements, they say the evidence clearly shows that India’s government regularly confers with extra-terrestrials and is debating whether or not to break the news to the rest of the world. Devoid of editing and chock full of grammar mistakes, this website doesn’t exactly instill any confidence in me that we’ll soon be learning about the mysterious cultures of aliens. Nevertheless, there’s a part of me that would love to see the world’s reaction to undeniable proof of alien existence. I’ve always had a hard time understanding why people are so nationalistic, and racism to me is unfathomable, so I’d hope a dramatic change in humanity would take place. I suppose people are so damn stubborn that they’d still try to, for instance, interpret the bible in such a way that it would now include aliens. But, imagine if those kinds of dividing philosophies came tumbling down!
This week’s Photoshop Phriday is pretty damn hilarious. They’ve taken the illegal immigrant guide that’s been all over the news recently and changed around the instructions a little bit. Have a look.
Val, you sly, sly bastard you. Val Kilmer, one of two men I’d go temporarily gay for, has said he repeatedly botched his lines in order to enjoy a bedroom romp with Angelina Jolie. He said he managed to drag it out for about 4 hours, and that he made millions doing it. Well there jerky, how about passing a couple of those millions on to some tsunami victims? Ya greedy bastard. (I love you Val, pay no attention to my harsh words.)
If you’ve never checked out New York Escort Confessions, a blog I have linked at the left, today is the day to do so. She’s made her second entry about a client of hers who recently offered her $12,000 to get licked and rammed by his dog. After giving it a surprising amount of thought, and many comments left for her, she opted to pass. Ah well, ya can’t blame a bloke for tryin’, right? (Jesus, in this case, YES YOU CAN.)
