Kind of like Benny Hill meets Hee Haw.

Thomas and the comments at the OCR blog are so bizarre that it is almost like a parody of the hysterical feigned outrage that is so common among partisans these days. Shall we wait, say 40 years, to criticize the government, or will that still be a "punch in the gut to those still grieving loved ones"? Must contextual balance be provided in every article criticizing the government? I noticed no contextual balance offered whenever opportunistic politicians exploited 9/11 for their own purposes, leading America into senseless wars and crippling debt. It is excellent articles like this one that makes it worthwhile to subscribe to the Future of Freedom Foundation's Freedom Daily. The post above from M.

However, it is regrettable that others took it to use as a punch in the gut to those still grieving loved ones, and to take ill timed potshots at government without contextual balance. Your piece is excellent. The use of it in the Register was sleazy. Well written.

The office of the Executive is even more lucrative than Congress. It has become so as a result of the weakening of the Separation of Powers that has attended the War As Our Abiding Profession doctrine of the Executive. The various security stratagems cooked up by the Sunbeams For the Unitary Executive during the last Administration have been fully embraced by the current one because they are the Get Out Of Jail Free Card and the hammer which insures liberal payout to members of the Executive once they have enjoyed their 4-8 years in the Imperial Honeypot. The only time one sees any sideways mention of investigation or prosecution is when the Executive needs a diversion and then the perfidious Bushies are trotted out for a little spitball action which draws Torquecheney to the talk shows and everyone has a good laugh before its back to bidness in the longest running Bunko Operation in the history of Organized Plunder.
