And Tidbits

• From Dec, 2, Dep Atty Gen admits that little old ladies from other countries who accidentally fund an orphanage that diverts money and sends it to al-Qaeda can be shanghaied and sent to Gitmo. Thanks to Fafblog.
• Academicians operate under the pretense that the Bush administration gives a flying fuck, and report that the statistical chance that the machines in Florida weren't rigged is under .1%
• Ex-CIA Director Tenet, a really bright liar, makes sure reporters aren't present when he announces that the Internet has to be reigned in, because it is a potential achille's heel.  No mention by Tenet of the actual Achille's Heel we have in the form of a nimcompoop as President.
