Monday Morning WTFs

by: Debra

It isn't the President who termed it "torture", it was society.  And the law.  Many years before the Bush administration started using it on people they deemed less than human we had prosecuted and executed people for using those same procedures.
Panetta was reportedly upset over plans by Attorney General Eric Holder to open a criminal investigation of allegations that CIA officers broke the law in carrying out certain interrogation techniques that President Obama has termed "torture."
Oh good grief!  No wonder America is becoming dumber by the minute.  Name a holiday that isn't about selling or buying.  If it isn't sheets, furniture or clothes, it's candy and/or diamonds.  While Roman holidays seemed to be about debauchery, American holidays are about money and shopping.  December 7th is barely remembered and April 19th quickly became a mote in the dustbin of history so why should September 11th be any different?

As most sane people know, a good majority of Freepers are off their rocker.  Well, the Freepers are not only rocking to a different beat, they are rocking on a whole different planet.  The "birther" fringe is now preoccupied with whether or not Obama has been circumcised.  The General found this so you don't have to.
hoosiermama:
The only other thing that hit me was that Sinclair said BO was not circumcised. When my son was born in a hospital that was done as a matter of routine without even consulting us. Would the same be for Hawaii? OTOH People born at home or in some other cultures are not circumcised.
Okay, they aren't on another planet, they are occupying a whole different universe. Bizarroland.

I accidentally got bit a few years ago when Shai was playing with another pug.  They were between the couch and the coffee table and got under my legs while they were play nipping at each other and Jack caught me in the back of the knee.  He didn't break the skin but I had a four inch wide bruise for more than two weeks.  And it hurt.
The CDC says adults with two or more dogs at home are five times more likely to get bitten than people with dog-free households.
Please tell me that they didn't spend money to figure that out.

Now Debra, you know that they surely DID spend money to figure that out.... wink
Just like they spent money to discover that getting drunk and then riding a horse greatly increases one's chance of dying during said ride. In one of the incidents described in the study, a man with a BAC of .36 rode his horse into a lake. The horse quite sensibly swam away, and the man drowned. Duh.
Not exactly rocket science, is it?

Indeed.

This would be the same Centers for Disease Control that will be in charge of mass vaccinations (forced where necessary) against Teh Swine Flooo.

Oh, wait. FEMA might be involved, too.

And, yes, that is a Dark Wraith Publishing original graphic. Use it elsewhere, but use it wisely... and with appropriate attribute.

The only way they'll get one of those syringes in my ass is with a syringe gun as I'm running out of the detention center.
DeeDoubleYew, I'm shocked! I never thought I'd live to see the day....
