Why Republicans shouldn't be in control of anything
The House Minority Leader, john boehner, on the floor of the House, in defense of his own amendment, pronounced the word hyperbole as "hyper-bowl".
FAIL.
P.S. The rest of the speech was epic non-sense.

Torture Ain't Cool In the Future
Just happened to come across this episode of TNG on re-runs on cable. It originally aired in 1992, how prescient (and tragic) this episode was for depicting our current lives.
We have sunk so low as humans to tacitly accept that torture is acceptable if it is done by our own government. By whatever means. To keep 'us' safe. I say, I shout, that it is a stupid premise. Humans torture to get false promises, those promises are the ones that validate the individual...the individual torturing. It is a sickening display of humanity.
The 'effectiveness' of torture isn't revealed until the late in the last clip. But it is chilling, nevertheless.
