I will help. It will be a grand pagan re-enactment.

We can wear costumes symbolizing the forces impacting our local economy.

I will dress in a gorilla suit and be the ‘Foreclosure Ape’. Big silverback who grunts and kicks people out of their homes.

There should be an ‘Unemployment Turtle’, slow and heavy. Ponderous, and impossible to move.

The ‘Credit Card Rattlesnake’ can slither around and bite unsuspecting consumers.

The ‘Tourism Moth’ symbolizes those who frequent our region from Arizona, fluttering in and out with no discernible pattern.

The ‘Socialism Shark’ goes around trying to scare people. Boo!

In the end, all of the animals die from starvation and bad water.

Very sad.

(OK, I’m not sure where this post came from…)

ksm, you’re wrong about the parameters of the torture program.

Nobody knows if torture produced intel that prevented specific attacks. Most reports indicate the opposite. Bad intel gained from torture wasted field resources chasing false leads.

Whatever tactical advantages produced by torture, and it’s not clear there were any, the overall program has been broadly damaging to US interests from a strategic perspective.

We cannot prevail in this conflict without a moral imperative. You may view this as a sign of weakness. You’re confused. This is a long war. Nothing could be further from the truth.
