In the Memorial Day spirit,
I am reviewing some of the torture in the past for Tortured Politik.

This torture movie makes what Curtis LeMay did look like a love fest.

Good idea to let the enemy know when your going to pull out?

How not to fight a war

Seems that was why we won in Iraq. We gained the locals
trust, and they sided with us. President Obama's more
compassionate way to fight a war is causing his
hope and change to dispell by the memory of his
nemisis "Bush" that was his ride into the whitehouse.
Little did he know that his ride was the like a Lochness monster.

What are the main talking points about Global Warming?

If you don’t know how to calculate the data, then do you

really know how to defend or debunk the idea?

So do I want to become an expert on the basics of what the

theory is?

Is it as simple as a few paragraphs?

Or

Do I just want to refer to different experts and be able to

quote their credentials. Say well this expert , from this institute

who is a climatologist….with this degree….thinks such and such.

It is never proof, because even though he may be an expert he

may have a political bone to grind.

But if there is any kind of a consensus …say 20 climatologists then

you obviously have an argument.

Steele Gordon points to an issue through which Republicans can help ensure that the debt remains an Achilles heel for Dems -- public employee compensation

Across the country, public employees earned, on average, $39.66 an hour. The private sector? The average was $27.42. In other words, public employees earn 44 percent more.

As with any winning political issue, anecdotal evidence brings these statistics to life:

[In San Francisco] a third of the city work force makes more than $100,000 each. The retired deputy police chief earned $516,118 in his last year, thanks to saved up vacation days, sick leave, overtime, etc. It is, of course, the last year's compensation that largely determines the size of the pension public employees get.

Iran now is on the Women's Rights Commission

for the United Nations.

This picture just makes me cry.

They bury the woman up to her head and then

stone her to death.

NEW YORK — Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged "immodest."
