The Onion Reconsiders

The Onion is being swayed by the memory of Deep Impact.

“When We Torture”

Nicholas Kristof has a very powerful column out today that highlights our torture and detainment of an Arab journalist at our Guantánamo Bay prison. This entire issue is almost too difficult to consider. It simply makes me nauseous. I couldn’t agree more with Kristof’s conclusion:

To stand against torture and arbitrary detention is […]

Hillary’s New Negative Ad

Her campaign is in serious trouble. I think they’ve already had 13 debates so far, so to suggest Obama isn’t willing to debate the issues is a pretty hallow claim.

Josh Marshall Chronicles Mitt’s Demise

I’m vey happy Romney won’t be our next president. His rationale for exiting the race is beyond silly.

“Peace and Prosperity”

“Prosperity and peace are in the balance, so with confidence in our vision and faith in our values, let us go forward … fight for victory … and keep the White House in 2008.”
—George W. Bush, Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

More peace and prosperity would be nice and it’s unfortunate that they’ve both […]
