Torture states love

A brief history of the new bipartisan acceptance of torture.

Torture states hate being wrong, so make up reasons to send you to jail.

Torture states love redefining "private" to mean "not private."

Torture states don't really care about counterexamples, because effectiveness isn't the point.

Torture states take pride in torture. "Three Cheers for Waterboarding... Waterboarding is something of which every American should be proud."

A couple of links, one arty

Reports are coming out that the renewables tax credit and portfolio are going to get cut from the energy bill in the face of Republican opposition and Pelosi and Reid's desire to get a bill out by the end of the year. If true, this would be a brutally stupid decision on all sides, but, well, what else should I expect?

Here, look at this instead; zoom in on The Last Supper as far as you could possibly want, if not further. Want to see individual paint flakes? You can. Want to zoom in to see the buildings visible out the window over Jesus's right shoulder? No problem. It's neat.

Meanwhile, this is worksafe, and funny, and so is this.
