What, Me Worry? – Alfred E. Neuman
This was an odd week; it was apparently so dominated by several big stories that the smaller ones were swamped out. Nobody contributed more than one link this time, so they all appear between the two videos. The first was provided by Jesse Walker, and definitely isn’t what Hank Williams, Sr would have considered a typical country song; for the second, I decided to remind y’all just how weird (and even creepy) Sesame Street‘s short videos could be. The links between are from Radley Balko, Mancrack, Brooke Magnanti, Gideon, Clarissa, Jasper Gregory, Popehat and Carol Fenton (in that order).

Wow! And who knew there were all these poor souls who are “victims of torture” running around Bean Town!!! 😀
“Oh Sally … will you bring me another cup of green tea and send in the next torture victim please?”
Oh shit look at this …
Another site says she’s only seen “almost” 300 …
Eh … what’s an error of a few hundred tortured souls on a resume? I’m absolutely SURE this woman is who she says she is and has no political agenda!!
Man, I wish people would take this torture stuff seriously – in her testimony she notes that this terrorist-guy has “decreased pleasure in drawing” – and cannot concentrate on his art!!
That’s absolutely horrible stuff right there!!
Did someone tell all the gals doing anal in porn? What about gay guys? This could be epidemic! It probably already is right?
Case Closed! We must have put ’em on him! One, terrorists (like virgins) never lie … and two … no way his old bosses in Al Qaeda ever did anything like that to him – strict observers of human rights they are! We had to have to done it!! That George Busheleventy fellow! Boy, I tell ya!
Damn … I never thought – “maybe my WIFE is a victim of torture?!”
Well … she IS married to me. 😀
THAT’S BECAUSE THERE WAS A HUGE CONSPIRACY!! Third Class Petty Officers from Kansas anal-raped him repeatedly! Nurses in the hospital ward played “Sergeant Schultz” – “I seeeee knot-ting!!!” So did the doctors and, of course – the GITMO commander, XO, and Command Master Chief – and of course Donald Rumsfeld and George Bush! Amazing! There must have been DOZENS of people in on this – some of them being paid minimum wage for their silence and complicity!!
BURN THEM ALL!!!!!
LIAR!! Everyone knows you can’t trust an Army Sergeant!
Especially since I found this picture of her …

I tell ya – that gal is DIRTY!!!
Electronics Technician Chief Petty Officer Richard Costelow died on the USS COLE in the bombing. Rich worked for me from 1992 to 1995 and he was an awesome Sailor and Patriot. He was 35 years old and had just been promoted to Chief Petty Officer when he was killed by IslamoFascists in Yemen. Rich left behind a wife and three kids … a 14 year old, and a 5 and 4 year old – who grew up not really ever knowing their dad.
Yet I’m still supposed to shed tears for a terrorist with a sore ass in GITMO who killed him?
Heh.
But yeah … WE (America) actually turned the “peaceful” people of the Mohammedan world into bloodthirsty, lawless bandits didn’t we?
Back during those “exploitive” colonial days.
NO! That is the nature of the Islamic religion. IslamoFascism existed there long before America’s “colonial days” of “exploitation” …
Here is a part of the 1786 letter from John Adams and Thomas Jefferson concerning the Barbary Wars and a response from the Tripoli Ambassador:
Not a goddamn thing in that quote is anything different from anything Osama Bin Laden ever said.
But yeah … George Bush “created” the whole radical islamic thing.
