Matt Taibbi breaks it down (once again).  Make the time to read this and you&#8217;ll get a much better grasp on the insane shit that&#8217;s gone down over the past year of &#8220;recovery&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[J. Edgar Hoover, that is!  Via BoingBoing, I came across The Kisseloff Collection, which is author Jeff Kisseloff&#8217;s collection of photos and stories stretching back through the 1920&#8217;s.  Some of the photos are gorgeous, some are disturbing, and some are just weird:

PG&#38;E Building in San Francisco



Today, I noticed an ad for California Prop 16, with the catchline &#8220;Preserve Your Right To Vote.&#8221;  Thinking that this sounded like a lot of spin, I decided to look it up.
According to Ballotpedia, this is basically an initiative funded by PG&#38;E to make it more difficult for municipalities to [...]]]></description>

Andrew Sullivan calls out Dick Cheney&#8217;s admission this weekend, &#8220;I was a big supporter of waterboarding,&#8221; and correctly notes that the former Vice President has thereby admitted to being guilty of a war crime.  War Crimes must be investigated and prosecuted under U. S. law and international treaty, and the principle of Universal Jurisdiction [...]]]></description>

People are screaming about Defending America From Terrorists.  Their method?  Abandon bedrock American values.  Of course!
“Some people believe our Constitution exists to grant rights to terrorists who want to harm us. I disagree.”
 Jane Mayer called out that gem from a Senator (!) Scott Brown political ad that ran last month.  [...]]]></description>

&#8220;I mean, rather than campaigning for the right to serve in the military, I am going to organize a gang of faggots to extend the right to be ineligible for military service to all of humanity.&#8221; So sayeth IOZ, and I heartily concur!
