I enjoy liberal bloggers.  Let's be clear about that.  But even as I adore my wife, there are some minor perturbations that pop up from time-to-time.  As in any relationship, communication is vital, so I figured I'd air a minor grievance about some of my favorite liberal blogs.

They report and repost far too much of the worst rightwing banter.  I believe that in doing so, liberal bloggers are unwittingly spreading the reach and notoriety of truly vile scumbags.  I don't even like to mention their names in posts because it returns another Google hit on the un-named asshats.  This extends to the entire Faux News crew and anbody with a name that rhymes with Cannity, Rimbaugh or Molter.  I do not like these people and I do not want them intruding on my space.   I gave up watching television news to avoid these idiots.   Leaving a television on Faux News is akin to sleeping in a low-rent hotel with the door wide open and a bag of money in plain sight.  No good can come of it.  

I've lived long enough to see technological achievements that were considered science fiction in my youth, but there is at least one more thing I hope to see before I die.  To that end, is there some beneficent code jockey out there that can design a sort of internet pop-up blocker that precludes my browser from showing posts which include any mention of the aforementioned asshats?

As I sit patiently waiting for the godsend of such a humanitarian, I promise that my posts will be as free from mention (and Google notoriety...what else is there these days??) of these goons as possible.  I won't listen and report on them so you don't have to.  You'd don't have to either.

Enjoy.

I don't care how many well placed and highly paid journalists (or complicit politicians), try to rationalize away the biggest crime I personally witnessed IN MY LIFETIME.  It won't work.

Torture is illegal and it's a war crime.  You can't make it legal by Presidential fiat even if you want to.  Bush was aware of this early on, which is why he LIED about the ONGOING torture that was being run out of the basement of the WHITE HOUSE. 

It is deeply abhorrent to engage in any level of support for such nonsense.  It shows a profound lack of historical and political perspective.  If I'd been insane or stupid enough to have supported it in any manner here-to-fore, I'd likely have to play such sophist rhetorical games to keep the public from labeling me as the pariah I'd surely be.  This explains nearly 100 percent of the support in favor of letting bygones be bygones.  Well dog gone, it just doesn't wash.

The sooner the prosecutions begin, the better off HUMANITY is in the long run.  It's just that BASIC.  The fact that I've had to post all over the freaking web an alliterative meme highlighting legal support for the TORTURING of TODDLERS TESTICLES in an attempt to bring SOME awareness to the barbarity of these bastards, pains me greatly.

Enjoy.

Now the difficult task of undoing all the damage that Bush and his minions have dealt us is about to begin.  I missed a lot of the hoopla concerning the inauguration, but understand that all went well.  Godspeed to Ted Kennedy on his health issues.

Enjoy.
