Charles de Gaudless's JournalEDGE: How The Israeli Occupation Has Made It Impossible For Palestinians To Score Drugs
I tell you, Israel's illegal occupation of the West Bank is hilarious!
If Cosby's Victims had All been Black, Would Our Society (and Media) Care As Much?
I've seen the 35 women on the instantly-infamous New York cover. By my observation, there are maybe five women of color among them. All the rest are white. If black lives matter (which they do!), then surely black vaginas matter. Or have I gone too far now?
Happy Lammas!
And Blessed Be, especially to my wife of 36 years, the uber-hot sex goddess Deirdre, who transformed me from a soul-dead Wasp into a life-enjoying Wiccan!

Jeb Bush: Obama ‘Speaking the Truth’ on Racial Injustice
Well, I think we can write him off as a potential Republicrazy nominee!
Been here 10 weeks, and have already seen LOADS of Hillary-bashing
Not a good idea, if I might be so bold as to say. Yes, I'll be voting for Sanders if the primary gets as far as Ohio. But if, as I suspect, Secretary Clinton ends up with the nomination, I will unhesitatingly vote for her in November of next year. I am in my 68th year, and have long since learned that, most of the time, the choices we face in life are between the lesser of two evils.
I'm not suggesting that Hillary is evil; she isn't. But she certainly has a lot of baggage, and is not my ideal candidate. But even at her worst, she is massively superior to any of the Genetic Experiments Gone Horribly Awry running for the Republicrazies, and we denigrate her at our own---and the country's---peril.

I wish I could tell you this is from The Onion. It is not. Ho.Ly.Fuck! 
The Pro-Israel Lobby Battles ‘Voice of God’ Morgan Freeman Over Iran
The Daily Beast:On one side: The self-annointed defenders of the Holy Land. On the other: the “Voice of God” and his buddy Jack Black.
Lawmakers will soon depart the Capitol for a month-long August recess. But as the temperature rises, so does heat on lawmakers who are on the fence about the nuclear deal negotiated between Iran and the major world powers.
Congress has 50 days left to review an agreement that would lift sanctions against Iran in exchange for restrictions on its nuclear program. Over a long, hot month, lawmakers who are on the fence about the deal can expect to be harangued by activists in the district, pressured by op-eds in the hometown paper, and deluged with ads, some of them featuring Hollywood stars.
The rhetoric has already gone over the top—see GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee’s recent rant about the nuclear agreement leading Israelis “to the door of the oven.” And August hasn’t even begun.

Jack Black and Morgan Freeman Drop the Mic on the #IranDeal
I love how all of them mix in humor with the (very) serious message.

Everyone Has Betrayed the Kurds
Robert Fisk writes today:
But under the Treaty of Sèvres, in 1920, they got a little nation in what had been Turkey. Then along came the Turkish nationalist Mustafa Kemal Ataturk who took back the land that the Kurdish nation might have gained. So the victors of the Great War met in Lausanne in 1922-23 and abandoned the Kurds (as well as the Armenians), who were now split between the new Turkish state, French Syria and Iran and British Iraq. That has been their tragedy ever since – and almost every regional power participated in it. The most brutal were the Turks and the Iraqi Arabs, the most cynical the British and the Americans. No wonder the Turks have gone back to bombing the Kurds.
When they rebelled against Saddam Hussein in Iraq in the early 1970s, the Americans supported them, along with the Shah of Iran. Then the US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger engineered an agreement between Iran and Iraq: the Shah would receive a territorial claim and, in return, abandon the Kurds. The Americans closed off their arms supplies. Saddam slaughtered perhaps 182,000 of them. “Foreign policy,” remarked Mr Kissinger, “should not be confused with missionary work.”

The only thing more dangerous than being America's enemy is being our friend.
