Torture

Posted by on

I’ve been watching all the “best” movies.

I took the AFI’s “100 Years, 100 Movies” list from 1998, their updated version from 2007, AFI’s “10 Top 10” (their picks for the top 10 movies in 10 categories: Animation, Romantic comedy, Westerns, Sports, Mystery, Fantasy, Science fiction, Gangster, Courtroom dramas, Epics), and the Academy Awards® “Best Picture” winners, and put them all in one big list.

Some films are in more than one list, so the combined listing has 222 films.

I’ve now seen 150 of them. I have 72 more to go.

I’m telling you, it’s hard — really hard — to watch some of the crap that has come out of Hollywood over the years.

But, it gives me an idea…

Let’s make all the detainees at Guantánamo Bay watch the movies on that list. All of them. Some of them twice.

What would the Hollywood elite say then?

Would they admit their films are torture?

Or would they finally shut up and let us use the tactics necessary to get the information from the terrorists?

How many points is Ginsburg, anyway?

Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY) indicated that he thinks Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be dead within a year.

During a wide-ranging 30-minute speech on Saturday at the Hardin County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner, Bunning said he supports conservative judges “and that’s going to be in place very shortly because Ruth Bader Ginsburg … has cancer.”

“Bad cancer. The kind that you don’t get better from,” he told a crowd of about 100 at the old State Theater.

“Even though she was operated on, usually, nine months is the longest that anybody would live after (being diagnosed) with pancreatic cancer,” he said.

Now he’s apologized.

I know, cancer’s not anything to joke about. I’ve had friends die from it. I’ve had family members die from it. Heck, I was even misdiagnosed with it one time.

Cancer is scary stuff.

But it’s not always fatal.

Still, I help but wonder if Ginsburg will be on sombody’s Ghoul Pool list next year.

Samurai vs. Monkey: The Stimulus Bill

Posted by on

As you all know, IMAO is pretty centrist. Still, we like to bring in a wide variety of viewpoints, so here to talk about the stimulus bill from the right is Musashi and from the left Scary Evil Monkey.

I Will Be Stained in the Blood of Traitors
By Musashi

Traitors! Brigands! You who voted for the stimulus bill, you dishonor all those who fought and died for this country. You mock that which is much greater than you. For this, my sword will taste your blood! There is no forgiveness for this, only death! I will slaughter you, and slaughter your children (as is the custom in the political process).

As for those who dare called themselves Republicans and voted to sell their countries values, hopefully they can regain enough honor to disembowel themselves before I disembowel them! Their names shall be blotted from the books so that no future generation will know them as Republicans. Upon their graves we shall build urinals.

When all those responsible for the stimulus lay dead, the Capitol shall be burned to the ground. The stimulus bill has now made it an unholy place, and no good shall ever come from it again. Perhaps by this act we can seek forgiveness from the gods and the economy will flourish once again.
