This page joins in solidarity with all the others who oppose the Senate confirmation of Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General of the U.S. The memo he wrote approving the torture of U.S. military prisoners will eventually earn him a place in one of those netherworld resorts Dante excelled at describing, but in the meantime, let's do what we can to keep him out of high office. One thing I wonder is, why don't any mainstream, non-Fundamentalist churches (Episcopalians, Lutherans, etc.) speak out in protest that sexual humiliation, immersion in buckets of water, and other Inquisition-like horrors to elicit "information" has become the official policy of the U.S.? Were Jesus' teachings just about making people feel mellow? War or no war, this is bad for all of us.

As for the other evil shoo-in, James Wolcott has this to say:
Why is Barbara Boxer out there all alone asking the tough questions about Condi Rice's snail trail of deceit and fearmongering? She has the audacity to act as if the Senate actually has some traditional advise-and-consent role to play and for her pains is caricatured as a shrieking harridan on Saturday Night Live and a witch on talk radio. Boxer was terrific today on CNN, refusing to back down and reiterating her questions and objections regarding Rice with emphatic clarity while Sen Lugar mumble-mumbled some pathetic excuse-making about how Rice didn't deliberately mislead the country re Iraq's WMDs, she just did the best she could under the circumstances. Look, Biden and the rest of you Democratic punk-asses--get behind Boxer or get lost. She shouldn't be up there on the parapet alone, not with this wrecking crew trying to gear us up for war on Iran.

Boxer was out there alone the same reason she was alone in fighting the Ohio Electoral vote.

SHE'S A POLITICAL DEMOCRAT HACK.

There were many state's that were much tighter than Ohio. So what does a California senator (who lost her mind) do, protest another state vote.

YEA BOXER, IT WAS FIXED. BUSH CHEATED, LIED & ALL REPUBLICANS ARE AS BAD AS HITLER.

You said it, guy: "YEA (sic) BOXER, IT WAS FIXED. BUSH CHEATED, LIED & ALL REPUBLICANS ARE AS BAD AS HITLER."

And what is it with these wing nuts and capital letters? Their boy's in office, they own the Congress and the courts and they're still angry. In fact, they're just bottomless pits of middle aged white-dude rage.

Maybe 'cause in their hearts they know Bush is bad and selling out their core, uh, principles with his international adventuring and lack of fiscal restraint.
