You gotta love the Brits.
On March 5th, comedians Bill Bailey, Kevin Eldon and Robin Ince donned oversize pants, emblazoned with the slogan “Fair Trial My Arse”, which was coined after US authorities accused Reprieve’s Director, Clive Stafford Smith, of smuggling contraband underwear in to his clients at Guantánamo last year.

Trivializing abridgement of human rights?
What aree you trying to do? Keep up with Dick Cheney?

The South Korean National Pension Service is not going to buy anymore US T bills. They are looking for better returns. here’s the link

I wonder if this is going to give wall st some more heartburn
If life were fair, Bush and Cheney would be in Gitmo instead of most of the ones there now!
If life were fair Gitmo would never have been turned into a place to detain people without charges.
The rest of that list is too long for one human to write in six lifetimes.
They have all just been put on the no fly list
and warrents have been swarn out on them.
With less than a year left in office, Bush is negotiating with Maliki for a permanent US presence in Iraq for years and years. Oooo, don’t call it a treaty! That would require Senate ratification:

no frist-fucking, please. you’ll get P2BH excited.
Well, it looks like most of the gangs all here.
The real question is how to keep P2bH from getting excited. :)
Do they sell Lush soap in the US, besides NY and LA?
My wife sometimes buys that stuff here in Japan, but it’s expensive, and soap shops stink worse than perfume counters, so I wait outside.
Well, anyway, thanks Lush!
Oh, and about the Keith Olbermann post, remember Wal-Mart = HRC

Hi Ron. :)
Hello Bascom. :)
Hey Game. :)
Good evening everyone. :)
For those not in the know, Clinton served on Wal-Mart’s board for six years prior to her husband’s run for the presidency. She recently received $5,000 from Wal-Mart. I’ve raised the Wal-Mart relationship repeatedly in my current race against Clinton and it causes deep unease among voters. I believe it speaks to the incumbent’s close ties to abusive corporate power: her large corporate financial contributions, her support for so-called “free trade” (which is simply trade to benefit corporations) and her unwillingness to confront corporate power that denies every American, among other things, universal health insurance.

The economy is on life support.
A judge thinks non-native speaking criminals should learn English to get their sentences erased. The Bully President claims we’re the real bullies. A woman claims an airport forced her to remove her nippled rings before flying.

Can we have a forum without 2b? Hi everybody.
I dont know why, but candl just doesnt stream for me anymore.

Obama thinks better regulation should be part of the economic stimulus plan, and chides Bill for dismantling Glass-Steagall. He also tells it like it is.

Obama’s plan to change the economy: ‘Our free market was never meant to be a free license to take whatever you can get, however you can get it’ 3/28
Did anyone catch the rerun of Bush’s speech today? Why they don’t show the speech they have on tape already is beyond me. The reportes have to be getting pissed off about getting the same tripe, over and over again.

Meanwhile McCain is screaming for LESS regulation. Even Wall Street thinks he’s nuts.

Ron, i did not see the speach but was told Bush is claiming the surge in violence is a good thing.
I wish i had a comment but those words leave me speechless.

I think Hillary is going to come under sniper fire in the next few weeks, her travel agent is looking into it. She needs some cred in a hurry.

and the msm wonders why they can’t use it to drive down Obama! and they’ve been trying so hard. It looks like cnn is going to settle on the constant noise of the ‘democratic discord’. tonight they paraded hillary supporters and barack supporters and pitted them against each other on show after show.
I don’t normally watch, but my laundry has cable and 17 tv machines.

Miss you to Ron ;-}
Ron @ 24:
Are you kidding? Fred Kagan says the civil war ended. Dan Froomkin said, “There is plenty of reason to doubt the White House spin. Just look at what’s happening on the ground, compare that to what the U.S. military is saying about it, and recall the administration’s many previous statements of optimism about Iraq.
That’s probably as inquisitive as the MSM gets.

Hi 2B :)
There are two band names i have always liked. I am certain you will like at least one of them. One was a local band in Boston called “Relentless Cookout.”
The other was a Punk Band called the “Four Skins.”
Or was it Fore Skins?
Savoring the aroma….

good one x, haha
We all know that the MSM favors the GOP. I think that the coverage keeps our candidates in the limelight, which is good. With McCains gaffes we really don’t have to attack him. He is his own worst enemy. We also know that when we get a nominee, it’s going to be 100% negative against he/she. Let’s appreciate the coverage our candidates are getting now. Some of it may be negative but, it is nothing compared to what it’s going to be.
Is anyone else having problems with C&L tonight?
