random compendium as usual

religion + torture = glorious fun

At least, that's what this sort of poll result looks like. Because it looks like people who were less likely to go to church, or went less often, were less likely to approve of torture under any circumstances, or even under "some". And this is even with the concept involved in the question of the "ticking time bomb". Great people. I think they're skipping over the important parts of their holy book.

another instant classic

I'm getting tired of watching every Celts-Bulls game go into overtime. Awesome series. KG really shouldn't have gotten hurt. Ruined my fantasy team and it now appears to be creating an exciting series out of what would have been a sweep on the way to losing to the Cavs in the conference finals.

There's a contest of sorts running on Sully's blog where they're trying to create a movie analogy for Dick Cheney. Thus far the really good ones have been Jack Nicholson's Colonel Jessup speech (You can't handle the truth!), the Sith Emperor Palpatine (is that legal?... I will MAKE it legal). Stewart always used the Penguin voice from the campy 60s TV show (Burgess Meredith, whkkk). So I guess it's sort of appropriate to try to get our arms around this sort of vile character by using pop culture. Cheney's not quite in the best company when his OWN statements or his OWN behavior are properly examined.
