“Polanski should be in prison.

That said, a black celebrity is not going to garner a lot of sympathy on the race card from working class whites. Okay? They're just not. What kind of a complaint is, "we can't get away with rape and murder the way rich whites do"?”

“A white celebrity is not going to garner a lot of sympathy using his white privilege from morally outraged Black folks. Okay? They're just not. What kind of argument is: 'He's white, he's a good director, so he's entitled to rape a child' ??”

“The problem is the way that the Electoral College is set up. Any Presidential candidate has to garner over 50% of the electoral vote in order to win, otherwise it gets thrown to the House of Representatives.

Third party candidates can and do win in congressional elections, though.”

“Within the confines of the student's house, sword > gun. That intruder still would have had a new hole in his body. Gun nuts, please take note. Guns are not the be all, end all of home defense. You can protect your family without a gun.”

“Actually, I think this debunks the "guns for home defense" mantra. A good sword is a lot more useful for home defense than a gun could ever be. No stray rounds killing your neighbors or children, and you won't wake the neighbors with a sword.

Besides, how many people have homes which are large enough that you can't get to the intruder with a two-step lunge faster than you could pull out a pistol? Just from a utility standpoint, swords are better for close-range combat.”

'Inhumane' CIA Terror Tactics Spur Criminal Probe

“I agree they shouldn't be prosecuted, but they shouldn't be allowed to practice law anymore, either. However, I've always been told that "ignorance of the law is no excuse". Just because your lawyer gave you bad advice doesn't mean you're legally off the hook. It just means you shouldn't have pressured your lawyer into giving you a legal CYA memo so you could go off and rape, pillage, and plunder.

If my lawyer writes a memo saying that I can legally rob a McDonald's and presented that as my defense, I'd be laughed out of court and sent to prison. But Bush's lawyers write a memo saying that torture isn't actually torture unless it becomes attempted murder, and the AG won't even look at it.

Despite what the Republicans said in the 90s, the President really is above the law. If Bush and Cheney aren't held legally responsible in some way, then that becomes fact.”

“Many a truth is spoken in jest. Leno's comments are an example of that. I think the fact that his coverage of Blackwater hasn't gotten more exposure is the reason Scahill is still alive; he's not perceived to be a big enough threat. Knocking him off would just draw more attention to his work.”
