Most of the Republican candidates for president support torture.
And they all support Jack Bauer.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Torture intel is worse than no intel at all, according to a friend of mine who worked with Navy Intelligence. That's how you get the idea that there are WMDs hidden all over Iraq, because you keep torturing the guys until they tell you so.

Let's just cut the middleman and have Jack Bauer run for prez! A fully fictional character is the next logical step anyway.

Well, usually you have the idea first, and you use the torture to support your hypothesis.

The idea came to Donald Rumsfeld when he was checking some old invoices to Saddam Hussein from the 1980s.

Huh. Laura Bush on my TV and so far not making me cringe or roll my eyes. Pushing for HPV vaccine, and pointing out that mandating vaccines is nothing unusual in this country. Then talking about her own fitness regime, where she notes that she has a personal trainer. And immediately points out that it's an incredible luxury. I didn't know there were Bushes capable of recognizing that sort of thing.
Still not over the whole returning the book to the independent bookstore thing, but okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think Laura Bush is probably a nice lady, in truth.
On last night's What Not To Wear, they just threw away a skirt I own. Oops. They didn't make a big deal about it specifically, but STILL.

What is even happening?
I fully intend to vaccinate my daughter for HPV. I really can't imagine not doing so. I don't think it should be mandated, though. I think mandating innoculation against diseases like Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella, etc. -- ones you can contract with casual exposure is one thing. I think mandating it for diseases you can only get through more intimate exposure is an infringement on people's rights.

There's still an issue of spreading the virus, though. Herd immunity has a lot more to do with mandatory vaccination than simply keeping individuals from getting sick.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hey, I'm back home from Minneapolis! It was a good visit, even if it had to start with a meeting with two emplyees who went to their boss to complain about my "casual and humorous" tone in emails. That meeting actually went well and i totally had them eating out of my hand. I then got to have 12 zillion other meetings and i am very glad to be home and have my lovely personal internets back.
