Retread of tired "prisoner abuse" issue.

For some reason the New York Times feels like this story about extensive torture in a Special Ops prison called Camp Nama in Baghdad is newsworthy. I don’t know when the MSM is going to get it through its thick collective skull that we’ve already dealt with that whole torture issue. We punished the people responsible for Abu Ghraib; Americans have moved on. Why won’t the media?*

I think it’s about time to get some t-shirts made. How about, “Don’t fuck with me - I’m a citizen of an evil torture state”?


* Also, why won’t the torturers?

Disservice piggyback

I received this bit of Dadaist poetry from an anonymous open proxy friend. I threw in a few punctuation marks and line breaks here and there, but most of it is virgin.*


Disservice Piggyback
Fishing rod, genuinely axis accuser!
Backside a compassionate, crummy but birch with fireside
the gooey of tune
third degree of love affair
cooperative, with spun to shabbily as self-respect calculated.
go-cart, medallion porter, and westernize!

to, in drinking fountain, northwesterly, the millennia labyrinth.
to chase, presently, spree flashback.

as in, the pair coercion and clear-cut.

by was boomerang airy, diploma-soulful, “jack-of-all-trades” babble-camera.
endow, as nuclei a of as self-pity:
dues, await of gold medalist
stumbling block umpire imbalanced off-color
double-cross compartment

moo the perfectionist buttercup! Ah, heirloom, amiably!
Delirium, the are an enrichment.

it illness.
it station.


* I am, of course, not the first to do this.
