Here is the real story

Click the link to read the whole story about Erich "Mancow" Muller and his fake water boarding stunt. If I had to choose sides between Olbermann and Gawker, it would be Gawker for sure - on any issue.

He wasn't subjected to anything close to the conditions that actual waterboarding victims suffer, or, for that matter, that journalists like Christopher Hitchens who undertook the procedure suffered. He decided to get waterboarded, so he asked his publicist to find someone who knew nothing about it to look it up on the internet and do it to him. We say it all adds up to a fake—either by orchestration or half-assed laziness. The only reason that Olbermann—or anyone else for that matter—could come to a different conclusion is ideological fervor. This, according to Olbermann, is "changing the debate" on torture.

Sounds like someone is taking an interest in Lindsay's health, if only for their own reasons. X17 reports that producers are making her take drug tests, keep a curfew and weight herself to keep a healthy weight.

How do you not know these things.

Really, how does someone get a job in a news paper and not understand what this ad was trying to say?

This little report is interesting in a few ways, but the most important is that it seems to show that the publishers of at least one American newspaper are wholly ignorant of American history. It seems that early last week the Warren Times Observer of Warren, Pennsylvania published an ad that basically expressed a desire to see President Barack Obama assassinated and they didn't even know it.

I don't know if it is torture, or if it is something we should be doing to suspected terrorists. What I do have questions about is if anyone would really submit to torture willingly.

This is a scary game....

The sad part, is that just like a nasty divorce, it isn't the people pushing the violence forward that will suffer the most. The ones who will suffer the most are the people or Korea, both North and South.

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is warning North Korea, and pointedly not taking the military option off the table.

Another death gets neither side closer to agreement

Whatever side you stand on this issue, this is an act of terrorism plain and simple. In a civilized society we do not murder people we disagree with. We do not use violence as a political weapon.

KWCH in Kansas reports that the suspected murderer of abortion doctor George Tiller has been arrested near the town of Gardner.
