Almost every week, Republicans join a competition to see who can say the most outlandish things, and in the process, they push the envelope on just how absurd InsaniTEA can become. I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception.
Koch-backed, pro-fossil fuel group seems very mixed up what exactly torture is.
Much as Bernard Kerik compared largely peaceful protesters to 9/11 terrorists, the American Energy Alliance, a Koch-backed pro-fossil fuel group, says it is being tortured by environmental regulations. Tortured, they tell you. Rectal feedings and everything. That’s what it’s like when the EPA tells you to limit your smog emissions.
In a short and extremely comical recent blog post [Whatever suckers delinked] called "The EPA Torture Report," the group claimed that the EPA's proposed limits on smog-forming pollutants and carbon dioxide were comparable to the tactics used by the CIA on post 9/11 detainees. In fact, the post implied the EPA’s efforts to reduce pollution were even worse than torture. How could that be? Because it is being done to Americans, that’s why "[I]t's clear that the CIA isn't the only government agency engaged in torture," the post read. "At least the CIA isn't torturing Americans."
Seriously, they said that.
So save a spot in the line for war criminals to be tried at the Hague. Right behind Dick Cheney et al, those evildoers at the EPA…

Oh my – I read the lot – apart from Revolting Rush, which I just couldn't stomach. Oh what does it say about our societies that these nutters have airtime and print inches and publicity – and that some people (most of the sad right anyway) believe them!!
It says our societies love garbage.
1. Oh Sarah, don't you know the war is over? Are you so isolated up there in your sexy black number, cooking your moose chili?
2. Billy boy, or should I say "Bully Boy", if anyone is at fault for killings it is the Right Wing media for egging the crazies on. Not the 2 NYPD members, but an awful lot of killings in the USA.
3. If his bubble brained head exploded, does that mean he's off the air?
4. Rudy stated much the same thing. Two peas in a pod?
5. Now my head is exploding from laughter!
Amen to all!
I was wondering how they managed to miss Allen West, but I guess the week goes Sunday through Saturday, and Allen was a day late. Next week.
Actually James Bond was an ornithologist. (When Masterpiece Mystery presented Agatha Christie's "A Caribbean Mystery", they added Ian Fleming as a minor character. The scene is based on a true story. And the rest is history.)
I saw last week they were airing a couple of Nova episodes on medieval and renaissance architecture. Unfortunately they should have come with a barf bag alert. One of the two biggest credits for Nova now belongs to "The David H Koch Foundation for Science." Gag. I suppose it could be the first entry in a competition for the most unlikely/impossible/ludicrous name for a foundation. Any takers?
Perhaps they'll include West next week.
Sarah Palin, Bill O'Reilly, and Rush Limbaugh were almost more than my stomach could stand. The Police Commisssioner from Guiliani was another jewel. Have none of these idiots ever read the constitution? I doubt it. I hope the Koch Bros. contine to be tortured!
I doubt it too!
