HULK SMASHED
You may not call George a wanker, you wanker.
You may call him a Packer.
People are stupid, Atrios. Packer and Hitchens are spiritual brothers.
Shall I blogwhore again?
Nah...but I think I will take a break and watch "The Naked Prey" that I DVR'd the other day.
Talk to you all in a bit..
I overslept and missed the all-Williams final. Dammit! Back to what I wrote. Hitchens and Packer are spiritual brothers (writers for big glossy magazines). Packer isn't going to come out full throat and say Hitchens was a douche for supporting the war. He has to give him an out.
Waerboarding is not torture. We call it enforced hygiene.
Why doesn't Packer allow himself to be waterboarded?
I mean, if it's not all that bad......
So few days, so many wankers.
WTF did George Packer do NOW?
Oh...follow the link.
Sorry, had a Chimperor moment there...
from below...
I was in a grocery store, when I ran into this lady looking at the mangos (rock hard ones). She was wearing a TSA tee shirt, so I threw this out at her just to see what she'd say,
"Where are those ripe Indian mango fruit, we were promised?".
This lead to an angry rant from her about the "idiot son of an asshole".
Also, some surprising praise for Bill Clinton who though he "was sleazy", made the economy rock!.
Necons, GWB, McCain, and all conservatives, if you've lost the TSA people you are sunk!

Ain't nobody sleazier than Cheney.
why didn't they stop drowning Hitchens?
Ok, I feel officially old today.
An old Army buddy who was my roomie in the barracks just told me he has a 2 year old granddaughter.
He is six months younger than me.

Hitchens - Flatulent prick
I'm sorry, but anyone who went along with the illegal, immoral, unnecessary, utterly stupid invasion of Iraq cannot be classified as "thinking".
It just can't be done.
I mean, Poppy himself was actually "thinking" back in 1991! Then he elected to surrender that label when he went along with dim son's glorious misadventure that only cost hundreds of thousands of lives. Fortunately, most of those lost lives were of disgusting brown moooslim people, who aren't really people, anyways.
The Savada collection has been packed into about 1,300 boxes and will be taken to Syracuse next week on six 20-foot-long Federal Express trucks, Elias Savada said.
The records are thicker and heavier than the later standard 33 1/3 rpm albums, which were in vogue before they were supplanted by cassette tapes and then compact discs. The 10-inch, 78 rpm albums have one song to a side, and weigh about a half pound each.
Morton Savada took over his father's shirt business, Savada Bros., in the 1950s and ran it until opening the record store in 1977. He began collecting 78 rpms as a teen in the 1930s.
Savada would often bring collectors together at his shop, where the narrow aisles were flanked floor to ceiling with shelving holding his records.
Records Revisited was the last store exclusively selling 78 rpm recordings and was a frequent haunt for those in the film and music industries, including actor/directors Woody Allen and Matt Dillon.
Matt Dillon collects 78s?
Who knew?
why didn't they stop drowning Hitchens?
The attempt caused scotch fumes to seep from his orifices, which caused everyone in the room to pass out.
re-HICA!
LOLarryElvis
.
Hitchens no doubt would of preferred gin and claret boarding
a genuine effort to draw out and clarify the hard trade-offs and ideological confusions that the past years have forced on all thinking people.
I puked halfway through Packer's New Yorker article. What a piece of shit.
One would hope that not killing people would be a concept fairly easy to understand.
But... wasn't George Packer the guy who was convicted of cannibalism? Maybe it was another Packer?
Brett....?
An old Army buddy who was my roomie in the barracks just told me he has a 2 year old granddaughter.
Join the club -- my sister's son turned 40 this year and he and his wife have a son that is 8 years old.
Hitchens thought water boarding might have something to do with boarding school, of which he has fondle memories.
Try waterboarding this guy.
Actually, the ht goes to GeorgeM. Thanks, though! 
Sorry I don't have my Wanker of the Day statistics with me. They're on my work computer. So sue me.
i bet Hitchens would crack under pressure, take away his cigarettes and booze and he'll give away his mother to get them back
Unthinkingly, Christopher Hitchens got himself waterboarded
I think he thought about it because Vanity Fair asked him to think about doing it.

Darn... I also wanted to know how many wotd were missed in the last few weeks. there aren't enough days to begin with...
This week, we learned that the White House knew about last year's deal between Texas-based Hunt Oil and the Kurdish Regional Government.
Apparently the threat it posed to the fragile negotiations in Baghdad didn't concern the president as much as he suggested in public.
The Kurds have made a lot of friends in Washington during the past few years -- especially among Republicans.
It's a relationship that's bolstered by aggressive lobbying by the Kurds. The Kurdish Regional Government has 11 active contracts with U.S. lawyers and lobbyists, according to the State Department's database maintained under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The Kurds have been shelling out far more money on K Street than any other group or government in Iraq.
A key ally for the Kurds is the firm Barbour Griffith Rogers, the lobbying shop founded by Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, formerly head of the Republican National Committee. BGR receives $700,000 a year from the Kurdish Regional Government. Their agreement says the firm will "arrange meetings" with U.S. media and government officials.
The firm has a separate agreement with the Kurdistan Democratic Party for a $262,500 annual fee, according to the FARA database.

re: Civics [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
A totally crazy Saturday-morning thought: Wouldn't George W. Bush make an awesome high-school government teacher? Wouldn't it be something if his post-presidential life would up being that kind of post-service service? How's that for a model? Who needs Harvard visiting chairs and high-end lectures? How about Crawford High? (Or wherever?) Reach out and touch the young before they are jaded, or break them of the cynicism pop culture and possibly their parents have passed down to them. Whatever you think of President Bush, he's a likable guy in love with his country with some history and experience to share.

Bush Is A Bed Wetter
Washington, D.C. - A new shocking tell-all book by George W. Bush's childhood nanny claims that the president wet his bed throughout his entire adolescence and beyond. In fact, evidence has been produced that shows Bush's bed wetting continued unabated throughout his college years. At Yale, his problem was so severe that his fraternity brothers gave him the nickname "Pee Wee Wee" which they jokingly used to mock him about his small stature and propensity for soiling sheets.
Bush's nanny, Cynthia Johnson, said, "He was an awful bed wetter. I don't think a morning went by that he didn't wake up in his own urine. It just drove his mother Barbara crazy. Why, I remember her hanging his soaking wet sheets out of his window to try to shame it out of him. It didn't work. nothing worked. He was born a bed wetter and he will die a bed wetter."
Does anyone care about the Wanker Technical awards?
Those will be announced at a local Denny's. K-Lo will be the presenter.

Hitchens sickened me when I read the article he wrote in Vanity Fair about how those horrible Muslims were "overrunning" England.
sykiatrists: what does chronic bedwetting mean? thru college? that's...really gross and suggests a lot about chimpy. did babs also make him wear headgear at night, or was is something even more sinister?
Anybody else find it a wee bit embarrassing that the sitting president of the U.S. is reduced to giving commencement addresses to high schools and attending teeball games. Jeebus. Now, one of his biggest fans wants him to teach high school. I mean come on, not even a whack college like Regents. High school? I bet if Bill wanted it, he could teach at Harvard or Yale.

Wow, Jesse Helms said something I agree with, which applies to the Democrats today:
"Compromise, hell! That's what has happened to us all down the line — and that's the very cause of our woes. If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?"

I remember when Huckabee was on Bill Maher and he's going on about "covenant marriage."
He goes on condescendingly about how "allowances" would be made in case of severe abuse and adultery and Bill Maher says "Suppose people just no longer want to be married anymore. Incompatability and all that kinda of stuff..."
All he got in response was a stupid smile from Huckabee.

I asked him to define abuse. He wanted to know what I meant.
I told him what went on around the time of my ex losing his mind and dumping me for someone he met on line.
Once he got the details, he said it was psychological and emotional abuse and as far as he was concerned, I was battered woman.

Huckabee and marriage.
"Hey Huck about about this? Any man who has sex with a woman, not his wife, is kicked out of the church and has to join the military. I mean if they can't stick to their marriage vows, why should they have the support of the church? I mean just how weak is this guy that he can't stay true to his wife? Don't you think that the punishment for men should be to remove them from something they love, like the church, when they defy the laws of the church. And don't you think that elders in the church should set the example? While married have you ever had any kind of sex with a woman who is not your wife? Before you say no, I want you to know that we have a special guest backstage. A masseuse named Kitty O'Rubbly."
"After less than an hour visiting a housing assistance agency, President Bush and his motorcade sped to a private home here last Tuesday to make a quick appearance -- and deliver a whole lot of money -- for the Republican Party.
He has already clocked 31 political events this year, raising nearly $70 million for GOP candidates and the national and state parties, according to the Republican National Committee. The tally puts the president on track to meet or exceed the amount he raised before the midterm elections in 2006, according to GOP officials.
...To look at it another way: Since the start of 2007, Bush alone is responsible for raising more money than the entire Democratic National Committee.
...One of Bush's few public fundraisers came last month in suburban Detroit, garnering $750,000 for the Michigan Republican Party. "We love you!" one woman yelled from a crowd estimated at 325 people."
