Jack & Jill went up the hill. Only Jack came down. Jill was a fucking terrorist.
I think we can all agree that there are certain bodily functions in life that brings us some serious pleasure. Like the feeling we get right before we feed the sharks for instance; or, that feeling we get right before we send thousands of potential little babies shooting out of our bodies. (Man version). But there are things that cause us extreme bodily pain and discomfort as well. Like the feeling we get when there is a blow to that area that contains two very sensitive little jewels packaged in a nice little gift bag. (Man version) Or the pain that contractions bring right before or during child birth. (Woman version)
But there is a debate going on in this country about pain and torture, which quite frankly is a little puzzling. I mean you have to wonder what kind of human being doesn't think that simulating drowning another human being is torture. They call it water boarding, and even our new potential Attorney General isn't quite so sure if it should qualify as torture. But this is life in the frat boy's A-merry-ca, we are ll fucking cowboys these days. Everyone things they are Jack Bauer on "24". Bring em on, we can handle those stinking islamo fascist terrorist, and if they won't give up the goods we will torture it out of them. That will show em to fuck with A-merry-ca. Yeah right, until one of our boys are captured in some hostile country and we see his body parts strung up on a power line in the middle of [Insert the name of any major Arab city here]
Ask John McCain, he was one of those boys once, and the last time I checked, he was against torture.
But John McCain isn't one of the 24% of the blind loyalist to the frat boy in this country. These people would condone burning the families of these alleged terrorist in front of them to get to the truth. Hey, all in the name of protecting the homeland. ( I agree with Chris Matthews, "homeland" is a fucked up name for a country. -Think of the Nazis in Hitler's Germany-- Isn't it funny how we have all these new words in the A-merry-can lexicon since the frat boy came to power? Weapons of mass destruction, homeland security, Islams fascist terrorist,domestic surveillance. But I seriously digress) So back to protecting the homeland.
How far are we willing to go when we torture someone to protect the homeland? According to the frat boy and his minions, as long as it doesn't shock the conscience it's cool. And just what would qualify as shocking the conscience? Well, poking someones eyes out with a needle I suppose would qualify.
But you gotta love it. Just the fact that we are even having this debate shows you just how far we have fallen as a civilized society. And in spite of what FAKE NEWS would have you believe, Osama really is winning the war on terror. Newsflash; "24" is a fucking T.V. show, and Jack Bauer is Donald Southerland's son, who can stay sober about as long as one of the commercials in it.
Oh well, I think I am going to enjoy one of those physical pleasures I just wrote about.
Hey, it's 9:00 AM on Saturday morning, guess which one it's going to be?

Field, Good synopsis.
How true it is. The corpofascsits have made the 90s look like monumentally good times.
It has become so corrupt in the past 7 years and so many people have become coopted by their neo-con insanity that I have little hope for the country.
Stop by my place. . . sagacioushillbilly.blogspot.com
Have a great weekend.
sagacioushillbilly, with a name like that, how can I not check out your blog?
BTW, I saw your comments on the previous post. Are you really a "hick" from WV whose daughter dates a black guy? :)
Good morning Field,
You know, it's really interesting--McCain, although not a favorite of mine, is the only real voice of true experience in this "debate." Thus, I think all them Chicken Hawks ought to pay him some mind when he speaks against ANY form of torture. There is no middle ground here--either we're better than "them" or we are them...as always, Field, thanks for your perspective.
Yea Field, it's all true. I don't lie on my blog or my coments. . . sometime I exagerate though. He's not really over 6' and they don't actually go out on dates as she's still too young for that, but they are very close friends. I suspect they will be dating in a year or so. She says he "gives good hug." He's a great kid and so is she. Who could ask for more than that?
Yea, I really am a WV hick. I'm a poultry farmer. I live 2 miles off the hardroad.
Your stuff is really good. Keep up the good work.
Even McCain has softened his anti-torture stances somewhat on his last gasp quest to be President and relinguish any source of moderation he used to stand for.
There once was a time where we could watch fictional TV or movies and say to ourselves, yeah that was fun, but it could never happen in real life. Now even Bill Clinton says "things always sort of work out" re: torture and Jack Bauer.
We have turned into a 1984/ Fahrenheit 451 numb and dumb society.
Negro, based upon your blog, I see that you do not spire to run for public office. LOL
" 'homeland' is a fucked up name for a country. -Think of the Nazis in Hitler's Germany..."
Glad I'm not the only one who visualizes SS officers when I hear that word. Secret police in America. What a chilling thought.

"Yea, I really am a WV hick. I'm a poultry farmer. I live 2 miles off the hardroad."
Well I'll be! :)
Well glad to hear from you. This is why I love the Internet.
" Negro, based upon your blog, I see that you do not spire to run for public office. LOL"
You are so right, that's why I try to work behind the scene. At least for now ;)
Dude, Keifer's going to jail b/c he's a miscreant who can't his liquor. He doesn't even hold "Jack Bauer's" political beliefs, but unlike Bruce Springsteen, who went after the wingnuts for appropriating Born in USA back in the 80's, Keifer's too strung out to grow some nuts and comment. Indeed, my aunt at the AP who interviewed him says hispersonality's closer to the hoodlum vampire he played in The Lost Boys.
In any event, the way the scum in charge rule the average NASCAR dad and scrapbooking mom is to turn politics into a silly movie. Which is universally scary b/c that's how the OTHER god-fearing extremist who runs Iran thinks, as well as this corrupt dictator who runs Pakistan, who's heir to the corrupt dictator Zia who we helped kill Benazir Bhutto's dad. That m-f was the one who truly let the Islamic militant dogs loose, but hey, Ronald Reagan didn't care as long as Zia was fighting the Russians. Oh, that's right...so was Osama bin Laden.
What sagacioushillby isn't saying is that the WV black dude dating his daughter is Randy Moss...
"What sagacioushillby isn't saying is that the WV black dude dating his daughter is Randy Moss..."
LOL!
Well, while Randy Moss' baby momma is a white trash WV girl, it sure aint my daughter. She don't date no potheads.
I do know some Randy Moss stories, but in the interest of anonymity, I'll let them lie.
Actually, you should run for public office.
I prefer you change what 'running for office' means. Well, I suppose I prefer we all do that. LOL
Hey, don't discriminate against potheads too much. We're pretty benign. LOL!!!
C.Chambers nice juxtaposition between Springsteen and Sutherland.
"Just the fact that we are even having this debate shows you just how far we have fallen as a civilized society."
