Finally, someone is launching an investigation into that patently obscene millisecond shot of Janet Jackson’s mostly-obscured nipple during the Super Bowl. I’m so glad that someone is thinking of the irreparable harm that this brief pseudo-nudity caused.

Oh! Did anyone catch that CSI episode where the dog carries home a decapitated human head, and the dog got sick because it ate part of the head?! That was awesome!

ColdForged rolls his eyes

Not that I’m actually bitching about CSI — my favorite show on TV these days — but you get the point. It’s amazing this country produces anything but serial killers, rapists, and the sexually dysfunctional. Call out the National Guard! There’s a nipple on TV!

Golly, this just makes me weep.

Former inmates: Janklow will have rough time behind bars SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - People who have spent time behind bars in South Dakota say former U.S. Rep. Bill Janklow will have to endure loneliness and bad food when he serves time at the Minnehaha County Jail in Sioux Falls.

Kill a man, endure “loneliness and bad food” for 100 days. What hardship. Don’t worry, they’ll keep a close eye on him to make sure nothing happens to his little sacrosanct ass.

“We look at safety concerns for anyone we house in the facility. It would be foolish of us to ignore the high profile of this case or the high-profile nature of the person in custody,” Milstead said.

Hardiest congratulations to the South Dakota judicial system for making sure that everyone can just forget Randy Scott, especially once Janklow’s record is wiped clean after 3 years of probation. It’s just like it never happened. Well, it was only one motorcycle driver. I bet he never even ran for office! His life is obviously worth significantly less than the distinguished Representative Janklow! He had a diabetic reaction that caused him to speed through that stop sign! Besides, it was an isolated incident! He’s not a speeder, those other 12 tickets for speeding were total misunderstandings! He tried to explain that when you’re traveling east, the rotation of the Earth makes it appear that he was going faster than he really was. And when you’re traveling west, the sun can get in the radar and cause rectal reflections! Look, beavers!

Anyway, It’ll be wiped from his record in 3 years. Mark your calendars today. Three years from now, Hypocrite Janklow, I’m personally going to start sending the fan mail. Friendly, gentle reminders about the person you killed. About the felony you essentially got away with scot free. About the utter hypocrite you are. If your criminal record acquires amnesia, fear not… others will remember.

“America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people.” - President George W. Bush, State of the Union address.

Isn’t it simply amazing that he’s still trumpeting the statement that we went into Iraq because they were a threat to our security? After everything that’s happened since we went into that place? Dumbfounding to me, really. Oh Saddam was bad, I’ll grant you that and he mentioned it earlier in the speech, of course. But to still claim that we were justified in our unilateral actions because — of all things to argue in favor of attacking — they were a threat to us is… impressive. Takes balls, that does.

I also find it interesting that we’re waffling on the transition of power. Now we don’t want elections over there, we want to hand-pick the governing council there… or at least have it be based on regional caucuses so that the effects of the Shiite majority are reduced. Eh? What the hell did they think was going to happen in any election within a population that has 60% Shiite Muslims? What they want is clerical rule. They would love nothing more than to have Ayatollah Al-Sistani as their leader, with a government structure largely defined by Shariat code. Who didn’t think this would happen?

What. A. Fiasco.

Guerrilla effort could shrink fast - or grow even bigger. In unrelated news, Osama bin Laden is alive or might very well be dead. Details at 6:00.

… “huevos rancheros” makes it into the Oxford English Dictionary. If I were a true vulgarian, I would note the addition of “fist-fucking”, “fuckwit”, and “gang-bang” but that would be rude and uncouth and sooo beneath me.
