Best Blog Post Title of the Year (Petraeus Report, All Lies)

Blah blah, they're lying about progress the benchmarks and accomplishments that resulted from the thing they tried a couple years ago and it didn't work then, either "surge." But you knew that. Goddess I wish I'd come up with this response: Not in the Face!

I bow in Ian's general direction. It's a phrase that will continue to have meaning for many years to come, way to keep it alive, bro.

Shocker: GOP cooking the books!

Here's the quote Ian cites on statisticery in the spooge surge:

"If a bullet went through the back of the head, it's sectarian," the official said. "If it went through the front, it's criminal."...

I liked the metric where the numbers were down if you counted the bodies in the morgue, but up if you counted the bodies left in the street. I mean, if this is the point we're at, what does "progress" mean?

We. Are. Going. To. Die. We must restore hope in the world. We must bring forth a new way of living that can sustain the world. Or else it is not just us who will die but everyone. What have we got to lose? Go forth and Fight!—Xan

oh, yes. Thb. and lb- comic vulgarity,

like dispassionate reason, is another weapon to fight the true obscenity of war crimes. in this fight we have to use everything. which is why i think this is genius. even the Highbrow types can get away with slipping it in...um, anyway.

i just laughed and laughed when i read it for the first time. we need to get everyone to have that attitude about republicans all the time. and ultimately, willing to make republicans take it "in the face" in every way, or at least refuse to stand for the reverse anymore.
