American Taliban

This morning NPR had coverage of an Iranian-American film maker who was nabbed at a checkpoint north of Baghdad, and imprisoned for two months. His camera and passport were destroyed by American troops. He's out of prison, but can't leave until he gets a new passport. Tbogg has more.

Meanwhile, El Gasbo opened his show with a 15 minute riff on "Club Gitmo". What an obscence fuckhead Rush is.

Town Mouse vs. Country Mouse

The 2004 election was pretty much high density counties vs. low density counties. Even in the state of Texas, Bush was weakest in Dallas, Houston and Austin.

I believe what the city folks were saying was, "this is a serious problem, let's not be fucking idiots about it."

While the country folks were saying something like this ...

The bombings in London reveal the vulnerability that city folks implicitly understand, and why the majority of them reject the stupidity-based approach used by President Cheney, his ward Dubya, and Rumsfeld the Insane. I wish I better grasped the mind set that supports these morons. If we can't convert them, it's going to be a long century.
