The horror! Anyway, one of the Abu Ghraib “tortures” was holding a running hand drill near a prisoner’s head. Why, might The Czar ask, was this torture? Boneman worked for a while at a large Army post in San Antonio and had daily access to soldiers who had spent many tours in the sandbox. One of the senior officers spoke of seeing a videotape of Al Qaeda soldiers using an electric hand drill to drill holes in an American soldier’s head and kill them. Now that’s torture! Boneman is greatly disappointed by Senator Feinstein and the rest of the Democrats (and it was only Democrats) who exercised the pointless release of the Senate Intelligence Agencies review of the CIA’s detention and interrogation program. Sen Feinstein has finally revealed herself as the self-serving political hack she is. I mean, she was the Chairperson of this committee for years and didn’t say a peep. Now that the Dems have gotten the boot, her panties are all in a bunch and she wants to take one last swing at the CIA. What a great American! Boneman remains steadfast in his support of the CIA and looks forward to the day when Feinstein goes back to the slow motion train wreck that is California. Good riddance.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the unknown hackers who exposed personal email content passing between some very, very big names in Hollywood who according to the MSM (which published them) were caught exchanging less than complimentary emails regarding POTUS’s suspected choice of favorite film genre, and by extension his cultural acumen in general, said personalities nonetheless being significant donors to his particular campaign activities as well as to liberal causes in general That disclosure illustrates excellently the mindset of the liberal.

Combine this mindset with the deprecatory nonsense about the public in general spouted by Mr. Gruber, and the phony moral superiority displayed by liberals when discussing the recently-released CIA report, and it becomes patently obvious one absolutely prime prerequisite for membership in that philosophical camp is an absolute, unyielding, unbending certitude in their moral superiority plus a matching, unshakeable confidence in the correctness of their reasoning and their overall intellectual ability. As an example of that moral superiority I actually saw on a televised newscast, within the last two days, a female liberal Democrat representative from California calling upon the CIA to apologize to terrorists it had “tortured” – but who are now on the loose decapitating numerous individuals. And yes, they harbored that tendency well before they became guests of the US government.

You just can’t be one of these people without being a self-serving, self-righteous narcissist massively overawed by your own intellectual abilities. They have an answer for everything, every circumstance, and it alone is THE answer. One thing you will never hear from one of these people, when asked to opine about anything, are the phrases, “I don’t know,” or, “I’m not sure yet,” or “I’m not sure those figures are accurate.”

These liberals remind me of the story about the Yankee counterfeiter whose printing press suffered an error and put out a series of $18 bills. It cost the lib – excuse me, crook – a fair amount of material and time to make them and he went down South to try to palm them off on some unsuspecting yokels. After arriving in one hamlet, he rather loudly reiterated to his accomplice his earlier statement about the intelligence of the locals and entered the general store to get the clerk to break the bills for him. After giving one of the bills to the clerk and dispensing some fast-talk palaver about this being some new initiative on the part of the Department of the Treasury, the clerk, who had keen hearing, asked him, “How do you want that change – three 6’s or two 9’s?” – while palming his double-barrel. I can assure you the real folks in the South, and everywhere else in this country, are like the clerk – plenty wise to what’s put out by liberals, and are more than fed up with it.

Could the Royal Physician enlighten me as to how liberals find it possible to walk anywhere without suffering serious falls and continual neck and back pain due to their noses being so highly elevated they interfere with their forward vision? A severely swelled head doesn’t help matters much, either.

PS You may want to take it easy on Sleestak. No less a source than the New Testament itself calls serpents “wise.”

With your permission, a brief addendum to the Rolling Stone ”expose`” of “rape” at UVA. Not only has the story still not been retracted, but the administration at UVA has still not altered its position that anyone wearing a goofy Greek-letter sweatshirt is guilty-until-proven innocent. So all fraternities and sororities remain suspended. Well, the world won’t end if the KA/Delta mixer gets rescheduled, but I cannot imagine that “Jackie” or any other UVA student has accused sororities of being a part of the campus “rape culture.” Hmmm, do you suppose that they’re using this as an opportunity to accomplish else? If they’re punishing sororities whose members could not possibly be accused of rape, might this just be a way to “check some privilege”? It appears that the UVA administrators, just like Rolling Stone, knew what the answer ought to be and set about to make sure that the equation added up to the desired result.

I wonder if that hatred of all-things-Greek extends to the Classics Dept. and if we’ll see the elimination of The Odessey from the campus library.
