Gonzo Journalism = Trolling of yesteryear

I clicked on this because I thought that they were going to be firing Barbie out of a cannon a la Gonzo The Great.

Your video, Gonzo - The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson, has made it into your personal Highest Rated Videos listing. Congratulations on a job well done. For you contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Good suggestions all! I'm not sure Darwin would make much sense to the little one, but she's got a friend named Carl so that might work. Won't even try naming the plushie Mr. Furry
Looking for a post-toddler name, so Gigglepuss might be hard for her to accept. Another suggestion was "Mr. Biggles" since she likes airplanes, or "Mr. Gonzo" from the muppet of the same name and similar appearance.

... I think most sifters just don't presume to chalk up Westy's writing style as a disability.

Some of us would even classify it as "Gonzo" - irrelevant of dyslexia.

Films I watched Tuesday:

• "Gonzo: The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson"
• "The Pussycat Preacher AND Virtual Freedom"

"Gonzo" was sold out 45 minutes before showtime. I was put on a waiting list in case some folks did not show up. Fifteen minutes before showtime, names on the waiting list were called out. Mine was called and I did get to see the film.

The Japanese fighting events tend to love those gonzo matches. PRIDE used to have them as well.

>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
I don't think you would say that if you had a loved one who took their own life.


Actually, you might. Suicide is a cowardly way out and it's not something I personally take lightly. Yet, it could just as easily have something to do with an undiagnosed mental illness or simply the (perceived) lack of resources to accept another alternative.

HEY WHYS CAN I ONLY VOTE THIS UP? VIDEOSIFT IS CONDONING TORTURE BY ARTIFICIALLY MANIPULATING UP VOTES FOR TORTURE! I HEREBY DECLARE VIDEOSIFT IS THE GONZO OF THE INTERNETS.

ONLY QUANTUMMUSHROOM APPEARS TO BE AGAINST TORTURE BY DOWNVOTING. HURRAH FOR THIS BRAVE SOUL.

"The truth is the administration and many of it's supporters believe that torture is useful and acceptable under certain conditions."

So did... Nazis, Spanish Inquisitors, Pol Pot, Salem witch trials, etc. You get the idea. History is chalked full of people who will do anything for power even throw out their own humanity.

You get two choices in life: you can burn in hell with QM, Gonzo, Cheney and people who defend and condone torture, or you say that people need to go to jail for violating the Geneva Convention. I think in other times, or other countries, people would be marching in the streets.

Can this man answer a question in a straightforward fashion? I mean is he even capable of it?

How in the hell would saying he ordered Gonzo and Card to Ashcroft's bedside (or not) IN ANY CONCEIVABLE WAY compromise the classified nature of the program? I'd just like to hear one reasonable conjecture because I can't come up with even one.

No, the only reason one could not answer that question would be to avoid taking responsibility for one's actions...

We can talk about those liars later, Gonzo is the story right now.

"Last year I went to Iraq. Before Team America showed up"

Dude.. ask any Iraqi which was better. Hell ask any foreign policy wonk that isn't a neocon, which is better. A secular Iraq or a soon to be extremist religious state torn apart by civil unrest. Just look at northeastern India or Pakistan (who have advanced armies and police states and stable economies) how fun it is.

The statement about Saddam killing millions is false, because in all instances it was condoned by the US and weapons (biological and other) were provided by the US, so it's kind of odd to be running around saying what a monster he was without first condemning the foreign policy that created it.

And just so you are up to speed with the rest of America, people want troops out of Iraq, which the Decider refuses to even think about. The impeachment has nothing to do with ending war. The impeachment issue is about "high crimes and misdemeanors".. which entail violation of FISA, other illegal domestic spying programs, misleading Congress with known false information, (in Cheney's case) disclosing the identity of an undercover CIA agent, violations of oath of office in particular perversion of DOJ regarding Congressional appointments, violations of PRA and using partisan email to conduct official govt business, using official govt meeting places and speakers to conduct campaign activities, such as Drug Czar (Surgeon General?) and DOJ to make visits to announce local federal program which just happen to coincide with campaign stops and speeches... Oh yeah, advising staff and WH chief legal counsel that they do not have to adhere to Congress subpoena power (it is absolute), refusing to testify to Congressional committee without stating a valid reason (like Fifth Amendment, executive privileged, Gonzo "i-cannot-remember" defense)... You can show up and say nothing, but you cannot refuse to show up. Likewise WH counsel cannot actively advise people not to adhere to subpoenas.

Trust me there is a ton more, but Munchound won't address or even hear what the rest of us have come to realize in this massive grab of power.
