Celebrating orchestrated butchery and torture in the dark:
Deriving gratification from jerking off in the public:
This is not much compared with the suffering described by one of the FBI agent:
“The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor, with a pile of hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his own hair out throughout the night,” the agent wrote. (The detainee was held in an unventilated room at a temperature “probably well over 100 degrees (38C)”.)

Time Magazine - Man of the Year 1938
Adolf Hitler - Greatest single news event of 1938 took place on September 29, when four statesmen met at the Führerhaus, in Munich, to redraw the map of Europe. The three visiting statesmen at that historic conference were Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain, Premier Edouard Daladier of France, and Dictator Benito Mussolini of Italy. But by all odds the dominating figure at Munich was the German host, Adolf Hitler.
Führer of the German people, Commander-in-Chief of the German Army, Navy & Air Force, Chancellor of the Third Reich, Herr Hitler reaped on that day at Munich the harvest of an audacious, defiant, ruthless foreign policy he had pursued for five and a half years. He had torn the Treaty of Versailles to shreds. He had rearmed Germany to the teeth—or as close to the tooth as he was able. He had stolen Austria before the eyes of a horrified and apparently impotent world.
All these events were shocking to nations which had defeated Germany on the battlefield only 20 years before, but nothing so terrified the world as the ruthless, methodical, Nazi-directed events which during late summer and early autumn threatened a world war over Czechoslovakia. When without loss of blood he reduced Czechoslovakia to a German puppet state, forced a drastic revision of Europe’s defensive alliances, and won a free hand for himself in Eastern Europe by getting a “hands-off” promise from powerful Britain (and later France), Adolf Hitler without doubt became 1938’s Man of the Year.
Most other world figures of 1938 faded in importance as the year drew to a close. Prime Minister Chamberlain’s “peace with honor” seemed more than ever to have achieved neither. An increasing number of Britons ridiculed his appease-the-dictators policy, believed that nothing save abject surrender could satisfy the dictators’ ambitions.

Not Only for the American
This is what the World needs:
“I will be a commander in chief who will never mislead us into war. I will have a vice president who will not conduct secret meetings with polluters to rewrite our environmental laws. I will have a secretary of defence who will listen to the best advice of the military leaders. And I will appoint an attorney general who will uphold the Constitution of the United States.”

Good Luck
MOORE: Honestly, I’ve always felt kinda sorry for him. I’ve never felt that he ever really wanted this job, or any job… and the slacker in me appreciates that. And, I think honestly, secretly, he can’t wait until November third, the day after the election, when he can go back to living the life that he had. And, I’m all for that. As I show in the movie, there are good parts to him. He’s very good to his dogs. He’s a good man to his dogs and he seems to have raised two very lovely daughters and we wish him well after November. ~ MSNBC

Justice
The Presbyterian Church (USA) successfully used divestment as one of its strategies to end apartheid in South Africa in the 70s and 80s.
With over 3 million members and an estimated combined value of $7 billion in the church’s foundation and pension fund, it now officially equates Isarel with apartheid South Africa and have voted to stop investing there.

Making Sense
A genuine free and democratic Iraq will, without the slightest doubt:
Kick the invader out;
Take back control of the any re-construction projects given to American firms under selective tendering;
Say thank you to BushCo for temporarily looking after their oil resources; re-appoint Halliburton, Bechtel to be consultants but tell them to get their hands off the country oil resources;
Replace 9/10 of foreign expatriates who are now employed in Iraq with Iraqi of similar qualifications/experience at 1/10 of the salary but currently unemployed;
Elect an Islamic government.
Would you think Bush to be idiot enough to want a truly free and democratic Iraq?

Preacher in Chief
A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill:
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master’s will!
Arm me with jealous care,
As in Thy sight to live,
And O Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
Help me to watch and pray,
And on Thyself rely,
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die.
A Godsend presidency. I will be truely disappointed if Stephen Mansfield’s new book, “The Faith of George W Bush” doesn’t rise to greater height than, well, “Alice in Wonderland”.
