Two al Qaeda prisoners were waterboarded 266 times by CIA interrogators. And nope! The torturers still won’t be prosecuted.
Oh, and the Bush administration won’t be prosecuted either.

Anti-racism conference devolves into chaos after racist Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accuses Israel of being “racist.”
Miss California says “no offense, gay peoples! But your lifestyle is, like, so not valid.” (By the way, she calls same sex marriage, “opposite marriage,” which you have to admit is pretty hilarious.)
Saddest headline ever: “Slumdog Millionaire Kid Star Put Up for Sale by Father.”
Blazers… Rockets… blood bath.
Awesome major league soccer deal? Not so awesome after all. Turns out the consulting firm that provided the revenue and expense projections that were given to the citizen’s task force in February “include basic math errors and assumptions that change from page to page.”
Happy 4/20, everybody! And while I’m normally no fan of Family Guy, this tribute to pot entitled, “Everything’s Better with a Bag of Weed” is an instant classic!
Finally, the bag of weed video and emphasis on 420 to overpower hitler’s birthday and all the columbine downers.
And the MLS peeps weren’t being honest with the numbers? SAY IT AINT SO!
Hmmm. Interesting soccer article. Let’s review the headline:
“Paulson’s soccer guarantee won’t bail out Portland”
Let’s review some of the tasty bits:
“In the end, the extra income that the city would generate by renovating PGE Park for soccer and building a new baseball stadium would cover about a sixth of the $64.5 million in new debt that it plans to take on to fund the deal, according to city projections.” [Not including interest, I might add.]
The keen financial minds who are looking out for our interests in local government:
“We would certainly be digging into the numbers a little harder if we had more risk and exposure,” said David Logsdon, manager of the city’s spectator facilities. But with a personal guarantee from the Paulson family, “it’s less important to the city how we scrub through all the numbers.” [Wow. Just wow.]
‘Logsdon said that neither he nor anyone else in his department checked the calculations of the numbers they were given. The task force chairman, Steve Maser, also said he doesn’t recall much conversation about the numbers, noting that everyone assumed they were correct. ‘
Garrett, I can’t wait for your take. Let me guess: “But I really REALLY like soccer.”
I don’t think Miss California was called gay marriage “opposite marriage.” I think she was calling the marriage of two people of the opposite sex “opposite marriage.”
