Foley

My take-away is that any time a congressman starts obsessing in public about all the sexual perversion on the internets, he's quite likely deep into whatever-it-is himself, and is trying to assuage his own guilty feelings by making a public stand against the thing that leads him into temptation every night he's in a hotel with a net connection, or at home after the wife's gone to bed.

Maybe he feels that if they just make the internet illegal all these bad feelings will stop.

My take-away is that legalized torture, the indefinite, statutory suspension of habeas corpus, and what amounts to an executive coup matter less to the American people than a congressperson's sex life.

Touché

Well, duh.

I would expect such conspiracy-mongering from one called radtea (or should that be REDtea, comrade?). If legalized torture etc were going on, don't you think we'd be reading about it in the left-wing controlled media?

thanks!

Thanks for breaking my irony-detector AGAIN, hahathor.

Damn thing never works right on blogs...

It's hardly a new concept that closet cases, of whatever stripe, are the most vehement opponents.

And from the subject, I just thought you were posting about the live sound effects on the latest GameShelf. :)

Irony, part deux

The BBC reports:


«Mr Foley - a member of the House of Representatives caucus on missing and exploited children - apologised when announcing his resignation on Friday.»


HA HA! Fox guards hen house in D.C. -- AGAIN!

What a sad, sick world.
