I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
My comment, when Drum covered this this morning:
Shapiro makes the mistake of assuming that the Bush administration's framing of the War on Terror is supposed to help defeat terrorists. But terrorism is nothing new, the framing is just a way to harness the fear of terrorism for domestic politics.
So Bush is handing al Qaeda a propaganda victory by crediting them with everything that goes boom. So what? He's also helping their global strategy by staying in Iraq. Bush doesn't give a shit, this is a winning strategy in American domestic politics. Someone else will have to clean up his mess.
9/11 was the best thing that ever happened to the Bush administration, it allowed them to become something more than a joke. Why in the hell would Bush kill the golden goose?
But then again, you knew I was going to say that.

Bush doesn't "do" subtleties. For any of the Republican candidates to admit that there are distinctions among "the evi doers" would be to break with Bush. Which apparently, they are scared shitless to do.

Tayberries are a blackberry/raspberry cross developed specifically for the climate of Scotland, which also happens to be similar to Seattle. The berries are huge and yummy. I get $25 a flat.

What you fail to grasp is that "liberal Democrats" are so far out of the political mainstream that Obama and Clinton inhabit, they constitute a completely separate partisan group. Except when viewed from the GOP, in which case they are all in bed together and in thrall to Hitler, Stalin, and probably Pol Pot.

Both [pokeberry wine and jelly] are delicious and consumed regularly. The color is lighter than the original deep magenta because I used apple juice to make the berry juice go further. In Colonial days, the fermented juice was used as a permanent ink - the Declaration of Independence was written with pokeberry ink. The 'old folks' used the juice to relieve the pain and stiffness of arthritis, and said it was good to fight cancer (a claim that seems to be supported by current research). In fact, one of the common names for poke is 'cancer plant.'

Native Americans also utilized soaproot as a food and acorns. Its all a matter of knowing how to neutralize the toxins in them. As a medical treatment I think that chemo is probably as toxic a thing as you will find, but very little in the American system of care helps the patient learn how to counteract its effects by cleansing the body afterwards.
