Torture Anyone?

From today's CNN article http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/09/06/bush.speech/index.html

"Bush said torture was not part of the program and he had notauthorized any form of torture, saying American law forbids it."

and later...

"Bush said Wednesday he would ask Congress for explicit rules so U.S. personnel are protected from abuse charges as they fight the war on terror."

Now if the US personnel aren't doing anything illegal such astorture why in the world would they need explicit protection? I think he's pulling one of them definition loopholes for the meaning of torture, same way Clinton did with the definition of having sex, or he's just retarded...

Finaly a politican with some honor

So I read in CNN today that John McCain's youngest son has joined the Marines which is an honorable thing to do amongst the spoiled and priviledged elite of this country, as much as i dislike the war machine and consider anyone who joins it somewhat nuts this guy is putting his money were his mouth is which is respectable...

Crappy GBX Shoes

Dear GBX staffer
About two months ago my eyes caught a nice pair of your boots and I paid $85 to buy them thinking that they're not only nice to look at but based on the price they're going to be decent quality too, however to my dismay after a total of maybe 10 wears I noticed the main front seam on the right shoe had torn. I shrugged the problem off as a random incident and took it to a shoe repair shop where I paid $10 for them to re-stitch it and happily wore my cool GBX again only to find that this time after just a few more wears the seam on the left shoe had torn, on the same exact spot as it had on the right side! This time I was certainly upset because I realized I had paid a premium price for a lemon item made with poor workmanship which is not expected from a brand name with advertising on major magazines. Yet again I had to pay another $10 to fix the stitch and mind you those boots are not worth $105 in my book, even $85 was pushing it but I bought it because I really liked them but perhaps next time I should consider Payless!

I'm writing you this as constructive criticism hoping you will pass it along to the people in quality control who need to pay closer attention to the durability of your products because after all market share is lost one customer at time...

Cheesy Damage Control

Here's a lame little attempt to preserve the goodie two shoes image that is often portrayed of Israel in the US media:

From CNN.com headline today Israeli army doctor saves Lebanese woman

Now to put this into perspective the only reason this kind hearted doctor had to go out of his way to save this civilian woman is that his fellow comrads in IDF were bombing the bejusus out of her half hour prior to the rescue, so good job IDF, y'all deserve a humanatarian award, big up!

Anyone with 2 cents worth of brains can clearly see that the Israelis are as savage as the Hezbolah, they're the two sides of the same coin so thank you mr. jewish CEO of Time Warner for the editorial guidance but your attempt to paint a pretty picture of your side of the battle is just lame, but then again i'm sure if muslems were running the media we'd hear similar garbage about how mohammad married a 9 year old jewish girl in the midst of war, horray for ignorance...

Stupid War

Fuck Israel, fuck Hezbollah, fuck the war and the war machine producing defense sector, if you work for Lockheed Martin fuck you, if you're in the army, navy, etc. fuck you too, see how great your war toys are when nature strikes against y'all, fuck your tanks and your artillery, aint no match for a volcano, you fuck with earth and earth will fuck you up, throughly and comprehensively, you saw the tsunami, you saw the new orleans, your stupid human karma is catching up with you quick, learn to respect the planet and coexist fuckers.

F da Police

Wack Legal System

alright, let me vent here for a second since this is insane, the link below is a story of how there's a legal battle going on to auction off ancient Iranian artifacts that is currently on display at a university so it can pay for a lawsuit brought upon by some greedy nimrods who got hurt while visiting Israel...

Excuse me for being blunt folks but if you prefer not losing an arm or a leg then please be kind to your limbs and don't visit a war zone, when you visit a country that's actively involved in a war then odds of getting shot up the ass by chance increases so if you took that risk and visited lets say Israel, or Iraq, or Colombia, etc. then for love of god shut your face and don't cry foul asking other nations to cover up your loss...

Moral of the story: Fuck Israel and Palestine both, Iranian people's historical heritage is not meant to pay for their continued stupidity of not getting along!
