Specter is just a distraction from torture.
Specter is just a distraction from torture. It's so fucking obvious and you sheeple are falling for it again. First BushCheneyInc unleashed the swine flu. Now they got Specter to change parties. This torture thing must be big if they are pulling these kinds of strings? What's next? Scalia resigning? :think:

So don't be a sucker of the evil Bush cabal. Focus on what's important. Torture.

1. It's genius! It's brilliant! Obama the Torturer drugged Arlen Specter to change parties!
But I disagree on one small point.

I think it's a distraction from the Air Force One NYC flyover.

That snafu was about to sink Obama!!!

:rofl:

9. Shit. I was so distracted that I forgot about the flyover.
The flyover was a distraction from Swine Flu. Swine Flu was getting too serious. Each day contains another distraction.

12. By the end of summer, we'll be so exhausted that we'll forget to vote.
That is, I think, the real plan.

That, and the FEMA camps.

:toast:

2. No he isn't.
Lots of hedging on torture prosecution (by the left, ugh) going on before this announcement.

11. If you can ring up Scalia and persuade him to resign, I'd be delighted.
As for Arlen, well, Arlen's Arlen. Not the worst Republican ever. Likely far from the best Democrat ever.

It's an interesting political move. It's interesting and contained. Most of us are not distracted from any other issue, including Bush-administration complicity and guilt on torturing.

Also I am not distracted by food, although we are about to sit down to some excellent pasta and salad. At its most delicious, pasta is unlikely to fake me out and I fully expect to rise upon the dawn as relatively informed on current events as I am prior to the first bite.

Cold beer will also be served and consumed in moderation.

This past weekend we also listened to HOME AGAIN, Judy Collins' under-rated album from many moons back. Splendid collection of tunes.

This weekend ahead we get to dog-sit Holy Redeemer, a close friend's pooch. Holy Redeemer is supposed to get dry dog food and no table scraps but deeply appreciates it when we slather his chow with gravy.

15. Yeah... I think this post is a distraction from the distraction about distractions
So if your not distracted yet, then you must be distracted, because you don't know your even distracted.

And whether this made sense or not is not important. What's important is that it may have distracted you.

No offense to the OP, I'm just messing around with distractions.
