I think it should go viral, too.

Makes this Anteater PROUD!

I just called Feinstein's and Boxer's L.A. offices and said what I wanted to tell my Senators could be boiled down to one word: PROSECUTE. (And I added details so there would be NO misunderstanding my message).

You can, too! I suggest local/regional offices for either House or Senate, since we're facing the holiday break.

Here's how you find 'em:

Wonder if the masses are starting to wake up?

To connect the dots like that, too! MOST intriguing! "The good 'Christians' in Congress - just showered lavishness on the fucking money-changers. You know them - the only documented time in the Gospels in which Jesus was ever said to get pissed off. Well, other than the time He took it out on a fig tree, that is. He threw a freakin' tantrum against the money-changers in the Temple.

THIS is what needs to be spread all over everywhere. These so-called "Christians" are palling around with the money-changers. Hell, they're even WORSHIPPING the money-changers. And the money-changers were that same group of mercenaries that Jesus saw fit to throw OUT of the Temple. Which should tell you something. That THESE are NOT the people to be cozying up to. Straight from the Department of WWJD.

He's wonderful, funny, and - extra bonus points - cute as all-get-out!

He's camera-ready from the get-go. That's why I keep yammering about wanting to see him get his own show on MSNBC. If it were MINE to decide, I'd take the Friday hour from Rachel Maddow, add it to the Friday hour that ordinarily would go to Lawrence O'Donnell (and he only works Monday-Thurday) and I'd create a two-hour show for John Fugelsang on Friday nights, to be rerun here and there throughout the weekend, and REPLACE some of that stupid fucking "Lock-up" crap. So it gets ratings. Don't CARE! I'd bet on John Fugelsang's show getting ratings, TOO. He could make it whatever he wanted, with sketch-comedy, satire, an opening monologue, a sidekick maybe? A band? WHATEVER. It would replay certainly on Saturday evenings, too.

And yes. It would mean that Rachel Maddow would lose her Friday evening show. Because I'd put her on a Sunday-Thursday schedule since SHE would be the new host of "Meet the Press."

I doubt it. But I really can't say for sure. Because I will NOT watch "Meet the Press."

Any more than I will buy books by crooks.

Even glancing at his hideous face is infuriating. And nauseating!

How he's able to walk the earth a free man ...

I know it's not good to wish ill on anyone. But if I DID, he's The TOP.

Indeed. You read some of the accounts of his childhood and it almost literally breaks your heart.

I remember this report I read about him as a little kid, watching at the train station while Mom went off to tour Australia or some such place. Leaving him alone with the nannies. The description of his sad little face as he watched her go - and how this little guy had to bear up. Raised by nannies. Could never just be a kid. Always on guard. Always had to be mindful of protocol and responsibility. HUGE sense of obligation on his shoulders. What stunted emotional growth he had to deal with.

I always felt bad for Prince Charles. He caught hell during that whole period. The whole world sided with Diana. And I can fully understand that. But I still always felt bad for him. Imagine never being allowed to marry the one you really loved! Your whole life being an obligation and what you wish for in your heart you know you can't have. With all that privilege and those riches and that fabulous history and legacy and heritage that's all yours - and you're little more than a hostage to it, as far as anything for your own personal life or happiness. You're really not allowed to have a personal life, or consider what you would want. You always have to sublimate what you would want for yourself, because of your obligation to your people. Any gay person can probably explain how that feels, rather accurately - what it's like to be barred from marrying the one you love. It's gotta hurt - BADLY! And for him, it all had to be lived on the front pages, in a gold-edged fish bowl. Talk about adding insult to injury. Always felt bad for him. And now, lo these many years later, that he was finally able to marry Camilla - well, I was really happy about that. And I still am. Maybe happier royals would make for a happier people.

Welcome to DU, ImaPolitico!

Glad you're here! Yeah, he's a cutie, and his mom is really a breath of fresh air. SHE is the true "People's Princess." Yes, Princess Di was, but she was also of the aristocracy. Kate is a commoner. Which makes me smile. This is a good thing. Brings a little more fresh air and, literally, new blood, into the musty rankings. He's got a good legacy from Diana, too, because she tried so hard to make sure they had as "normal" an upbringing as possible, given the obvious built-in constraints. So that's the way this little guy's dad was brought up. And Dad seems determined to follow his mother's example. It's been very nice for me to read about them and see, over and over, how William has taken his wife's side or otherwise supported his wife - even when it runs counter to the wishes of the Queen. And they've both given the little guy plenty of access to their OTHER grandparents - the Middletons. Who are also commoners.

Since he IS going to be King someday, what better than to have a King who has a personal understanding of, and experience with, how non-royals live (yes, the Middletons aren't exactly poor, but the point is - they AREN'T coddled, protected, insulated royals, either).

Third!

And wolfie and contradicta, too.

Yes indeed he did. As soon as he was disengaged from the water-boarding table.

As soon as he could burble a few words in reaction. It became abundantly clear to him. Guess you had to experience it to have your eyes opened, didn't you, asshole?

I think he's like most of 'em - up to a point, that is. It's EASY to strut and swagger and be smug about how it's not torture and it's just a little spritz of water in the face and what's the big deal. Until you walk in their shoes - or to be more accurate - you lay yourself down on their water-board. Which is where Mancow stops being like most of 'em. He did indeed actually have the guts to back it up. Said he'd try it and then did so. Unlike that chickenshit guy-whose-name-rhymes-with-Vanity, who loudly and smugly declared he'd do it "for charity" and then never did. Extra points to Mancow for submitting, and also for allowing his eyes to be opened about it. And actually recognizing it for what it IS: TORTURE.
