This week's Times leads, like pretty much every other news source in America, with the release of American prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl, imprisoned by Afghan insurgents for five years.
face it...if you were around during the Reagan/Bush/Bush II regimes, you tasted shit. It might not have had any flavor, but you ate it like the rest of us.
we negotiate in any situation that results in fat contracts to defense contractors over the long run. this situation didn't make Halliburton and Darth any richer, so not good for America.
Ask Cheney or Rumsfeld what to do and then issue an executive order against it? petition the Hague to make it an international war crime? lots of possibilities there
"growing number of Americans are statistically guaranteed to feel that they’re not living up to the culture’s standard of fulfillment, happiness and worth."
Umm, Ross, better add cars, clothes, homes, dogs, desirable wives, desirable husbands, iPads, smart phones, computers, lawn tractors, gardens, well behaved studious children, tvs, and children's toys to that list.

I was a kid for crissakes. Oh, and Iwas right, of course, but for different reasons.) Every fucking ad we see on tv is designed from the beginning to make us feel worthless and that pair of shoes or new car is just the thing we need to put everything right.
Our only hope is for the GOPeers and fatuous columnists to keep bringing the crazy... until it crushes the denial of the most determined patsies who keep on voting against their own best interests.

My dear Sandwich, Parliament has always had its share of Douchehats, and it always will.
Spoken like a true Douchehat. I have often heard the King speak of your family.. [ to Earl of Sandwich ] ..and of yours, as well: &quot;Give me a Sandwich and a Douchehat, and there is nothing I cannot do.&quot;</i>

Achilles, Patroclus, who&#039;s counting?
Concern Troll has gone right beyond concern trolling and into &quot;What the fuck are you even?&quot; territory.

lazy 47%-ers are now too stoned to even keep up their end of the private prison gravy train.

What country have you been living in?
All this outrage at Obama? I blame Obama.

I always read it as Douchehat.
