Feinstein the Fascist

How lovely, the Senator from California doesn't care if people are tortured and murdered. The spineless Democratic party has once again shown they are unwilling to take any risk, and therefore have ensured the continuation of the erosion of respect for the United States around the world and the erosion of respect for the government here within the confines of the evil empire.

(11-03) 04:00 PDT Washington - --

The confirmation of Michael Mukasey as attorney general appeared to be all but certain Friday after two key Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee announced they would support the nomination despite complaints over Mukasey's refusal to clarify his views on what amounts to torture.

The announcements by the senators, Dianne Feinstein of California and Chuck Schumer of New York, came after Schumer met with the nominee on Friday and said he had obtained Mukasey's promise to enforce laws that banned any of the harsh interrogation methods known to have been used on al Qaeda terrorists after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Initially welcomed by Democrats and Republicans alike when it was announced in September, Mukasey's nomination appeared close to being derailed this week over his repeated refusal to declare to senators that the interrogation technique known as waterboarding was torture. Waterboarding simulates drowning and is reported to have been used by the CIA against a few top leaders of al Qaeda.

Five Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, including its chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., have announced their intention to oppose the nomination when it comes to a vote before the panel, now scheduled for Tuesday.

In declaring Friday that he would vote against Mukasey, Leahy said that "no American should need a classified briefing to determine whether waterboarding is torture."

There is an article on Wikipedia about waterboarding but it seems that the Empire is attempting to have it watered down. I have reproduced it here in case you want to know the history of this torture technique, going back at least to the Spanish Inquisition, a torture technique that the United States prosecuted as a war crime after WWII when the Japanese used it. This technique is only one of many forms of torture our own beloved Evil Empire is using around the world to gain power and wealth for our elites, and the American people, the descendants of those who would not put up with the relatively benign rule of George III of England respond with a yawn. It is embarrassing to be called an American these days, in fact I consider it to be an insult and I correct people when they call me one, I'm a Californian and I want California out the United States, the Evil Empire will fall, I only hope it does not fall in a flaming disaster that takes out California with it.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...
