Thou mayest protest too much, but you're fixated on me like a kindergarten crush, girlfriend. You'll have to ask your mom sometime about the true nature of our relationship. I was drunk at the time.

Another 'this is news to anybody?' post by PP. I don't think a single person in the U.S. predicted Obama's approval rating to go up as the economic crisis worsened. The President always takes the blame for the economy, regardless of causality.

Prost on Greenwood and 73rd/74th.

My IQ's over 12? I must be movin up in the world.

From the article: "On Sep 10, 2001, Marri, a citizen of Qatar, who is now 43, came to America with his family. He had a student visa, and his ostensible purpose was to study computer programming at a small university in Peoria, ILL. That Dec, he was arrested as a material witness in an investigation of the 911 attacks. However, when Marri was on the verge of standing trail in June (FROM ELSEWHERE IN THE ARTICLE: for credit card theft, bank fraud, identity theft, and lying to a federal agent...no one in the article argues that Marri has been an entirely good boy) President Bush ordered the military to seize and hold him indefinitely." In short, he was arrested on American soil while he was a legal resident of the US. LINKY TO THE ARTICLE I didn't provide it sooner cuz I wasn't aware the New Yorker had started posting most of its articles online. It didn't before.

There's an excellent article in the Feb 23 issue of the New Yorker on the detention and torture of Ali Saleh Kahlah Al-Marri, who is currently being held in a U.S. Navy brig in Charleston. LINKY TO THE ARTICLE Mr. Al-Marri, who has maintained in innocence regarding any involvement in the 911 attack through even the most gruesome torture (in contrast with the 5 detainees at Gitmo on trial who brag about theirs), has been held since 2001 without being charged with any crime. The sum total of the government's 'evidence' against Al-Marri regarding 911 consists of a mention of his name by another Al Qaeda operative who was being tortured at the time. The most touching part of the article, I thought, was this passage: "In 2005, Savage (Al-Marri's defense attorney) discovered that the head of security at the brig, Air Force Major Chris Ferry, "would stay all night with Marri. He'd go down to the brig and sit with him, and tell him to hold on. Chris was there at 3:00 in the morning on the darkest nights" again, from the article: It was the political appointees in Washington, at the Pentagon, and at the Department of Justice who wanted Al-Marri to be held in prolonged isolation. The isolation was eased when it became clear that Al-Marri was showing clear signs of psychosis. The article describes how Al-Marri was slammed against concrete walls, isolated for months at a time in a cold concrete cell with no light, nothing to do, no shoes or socks, no mattress or pillow, and only a stiff blanket (so that it cannot be made into a noose). He was put in coffin-like boxes with towels over the seems to simulate being buried alive and suffocated for prolonged periods. After years of such treatment, he was allowed two phone calls a year to his family of a wife and five children. Mr. Al-Marri asks only to tried. Apparently, some here still believe this is what our country should stand for. I don't.

...as long as you can post in it...

YOu've got a soap box cunt? Sounds inconvenient.

CC.com Folger's commercial: "Charrr-lie, want anything special for you brrrthday?" "Not your coffee. It tastes like ass. Please die." "Hey, that's pretty harsh!" "Not as harsh as the milkman's cock, which is apparently still lodged up your swollen warmring, helmet head. Speaking of head, the girls down at the office give it better than that wood chipper that passes for your mouth." "More of your fictions! You conservitards are so full of hate!" "It's the 50's, bitch. We're all conservitards...."

Good morning, detainees!

You apparently understimate Pink's preternatural ability to self entertain, Bug.

Someone come. White man come. White man with black eye and monster shoes come.

Oh and once again I call bull shit. You have always alluded to being privvy to experiences, but fail to divulge details. In my line of work we know that is a sign that the subject is completely full of shit. I have called you out on your supposed military experience, but still you denied to. I now again call you out to know what your experiences with the Lakota were because I know alot of motherfucking people on that reservation. If you try to blow smoke up my ass, I will know and consequently everyone here will as well. Um...I think I just posted that I've never met a Lakota. Am I that stoned, or is it you? I have a few experiences in the drunken injun department, but like I said, that, and a few other topics, isn't up for discussion with web dumbshits such as yourself. As for what you believe or do not believe...I'm not going to lose a whole lot of sleep over it. I now hand you over to the capable hands of Ivan, who will continue to intellectually ass fuck you until you bleed out.

Or maybe that's 'hello'. Aloha, then.

I crack myself up. Yatahe for now.

No.

Oh, I have a few experiences in that department, but you're certainly not going to be privvy to them.

Did the Lakota let you eat the warm heart of a buffalo that summer AKA? What was your injun name? Come on, you know they gave you one.

I don't suppose a genetic predisposition for alcoholism that approaches 90% in some tribes is a factor. Naw. It's all failure of character.

I did see Dances with Wolves, though. Or was that the Brule? Damn, if only there was a summer intern for the IHS in the house. He'd know.

I'm thinking about it. I've never met a Lakota (to my knowledge, anyway), yet their whole tribe is fucked up, every damn one of them drunk on lysol, because I pander to them by...how am I pandering to them again? I'm confused. I'm thinking that there just might be a little more to it than that, but hey, what do I know about the Lakota?

I think your concise treatise on the development of contemporary Lakota culture requires no further embellishment from me. You must have been a real favorite on the rez.

I've been re-elected president of the earth. Haven't you heard?

AKA: Lakota spokesperson. God I love this forum.

If all idiots were banned, then only bands would have idiots.
