Surely we all knew that Disney was evil.

Oh, wow, today sucks. Will one of you come bring me some liquor?

(No, there's no grocery delivery in my area.)

Different tastes can be detected on all parts of the tongue[27], with slightly increased sensitivities in different locations depending on the person, contrary to the popular belief that specific tastes only correspond to specific mapped sites on the tongue.[28] The original "tongue map" was based on a mistranslation by a Harvard psychologist of a discredited German paper[29] that was written in 1901.

HAH! I could have told you that when I was EIGHT.

Along with Pandas being bears. People really need to trust eight year olds more.

The blue color of lakes and oceans is not only a reflection of the blue sky. Water looks blue because water is blue;

One of the things I love Andrew Sullivan for is his ongoing focus on torture committed by the US military at the direction of the Bush White House.

The Media Yawns

And Greenwald fumes:

Just ponder the uproar if, in any other country, the political parties joined together and issued a report documenting that the country's President and highest aides were directly responsible for war crimes and widespread detainee abuse and death. Compare the inevitable reaction to such an event if it happened in another country to what happens in the U.S. when such an event occurs -- a virtual media blackout, ongoing fixations by political journalists with petty scandals, and an undisturbed consensus that, no matter what else is true, high-level American political figures (as opposed to powerless low-level functionaries) must never be held accountable for their crimes.

The MSM also made torture possible - especially cable news. Even PBS demanded that guests not use the word torture to decribe torture. The issue was barely present in the last campagn; and Bush has not been asked about his war crimes in any single exit interview so far. The AP and the NYT and the WaPo collude in robbing the English language of its plain meaning. This is not to bely that amazing work that many MSM reporters have done - from Dana Priest and Jane Mayer to Scott Horton and Charlie Savage. But so many of their editors seem unable to tell the truth about this country's war crimes in the past seven years.

Eight year old Trudy for President!!

Nah, no one would be able to have a beer with me.

Al-Zaidi charged for throwing shoes in presence of Maliki, not for aiming at Bush.

Heh.

Timelies all!
