This is the very definition of Godwin's Law.

"The President is always right." - Steven Bradbury, the Assistant Attorney General (Office of Legal Counsel) at the Department of Justice testifying before Congress. - July 12, 2006.

"The Führer is always right." - Robert Ley, Reichsorganisationsleiter (Reich Organization Leader) of the German Nazi party in a speech on November 3, 1936.

The implication, as Bradbury is an attorney speaking for the DOJ, is that Bush is the law.

Brokeback Mountain a failure at the Box Office?

James Joyner at Outside the Beltway makes the fatal mistake of using Mark Tapscott as a factual source in order to get in a few anti-Hollywood points and call "Brokeback Mountain" a failure:

Mark Tapscott notes that, despite incredible publicity and critical acclaim, neither gay cowboy movie "Brokeback Mountain" nor George Clooney's ""Blood for Oil" did well at the box office. Indeed, the lousy remake of the lousy 1970s flick "Fun with Dick and Jane" swamped them both.

His entire argument in the ensuing post hinges upon the above statement, which implies that movies such as "Brokeback" are failures and an example that Hollywood doesn't know what people like. Read More

Have to say I react with equal parts amazement and bemusement and sadness when the right-wing peanut gallery (most particularly the self righteous navel gazers at Little Green Balls) get all sanctimonious about the annual Hajj when people are injured and killed in stampedes during the pilgrimage.

It's simple math. You put millions of people in one place, and then try to squeeze them into a more confined space, well people are going to get hurt, and probably killed. It's basic really.

According to the inclreasingly clownish Michelle Malkin, not knowing whether American soldiers are allowed or not allowed to wear shorts instead of pants when deployed in Iraq is a sure sign of not supporting the troops, that is, unpatriotic. When trivia becomes the barometer, you know they are desperate.

I wonder if it has ever occurred to Malkin that impuning the patriotism of others, including soldiers on the ground in Iraq who do not support her views, is hurting the war effort?

If you fucking beat this prick long enough, he'll tell you he started the goddamn Chicago fire, now that don't necessarily make it fucking so! - Nice Guy Eddie - Resevior Dogs

From the outset of the War on Terrorism, the Bush Administration has used torture as a tool, going so far as to engage the intelligence agencies of several police states, including Jordan and Egypt, to torture prisoners.

There are two schools of thought which the hawks apply: It serves as a great motivator to flush out other terrorists, and torture is a great tool to obtain confessions- the twin bastards chaos and terror. It is intentional.

While most everyone was deeply focused upon the political games on the Hill- the Murpha call for withdrawl of troops from Iraq "at the earliest predictable date.", the GOP rewiting of his proposal and the ensuing vote not to "cut and run" - in the real world, the withdrawl from Iraq was quietly being pushed forward by the Pentagon.

The brain trust over at Little Green Footballs never ceases to gift yours truly with a great and heartly belly laugh on a daily basis. I truly enjoy it.

LGF is a wonder filled sugar coated world where they dramatically cover their eyes and shout "I can't see you! Can you see me?" and then proceed to prove their non-point by avoiding any pesky facts or physical reality ("I can't see you, that means I can't hear you!"), conveniently ignoring facts that contradict their narrow view ("What hands? I can't see any hands covering my eyes. It's too dark.") and generally offering diversionary logical fallacies ("You're a crazy Moonbat and as such you think that hands covering the eyes means we can't see you, but we see you with our minds!") which their dutiful readers swallow whole like starved chicks in a nest perched upon the craggy rocks of reality.
