   Seems to have been a rather sudden thing. I’m hoping all is well in the Reynolds household.

   Michael Totten is a reasonable sort, but this………………?

   “The Dungeon of Fallujah

   “This is not Norway here, and it is not Denmark.” – Lebanese Forces militia leader Bashir Gemayel.

   FALLUJAH – Next to the Joint Communications Center in downtown Fallujah is a squalid and war-shattered warehouse for human beings. Most detainees are common criminals. Others are captured insurgents – terrorists, car-bombers, IED makers, and throat-slashers. A few are even innocent family members of Al Qaeda leaders at large. The Iraqi Police call it a jail, but it’s nothing like a jail you’ve ever seen, at least not in any civilized country. It was built to house 120 prisoners. Recently it held 900.

   “Have you seen that place yet?” one Marine said. “It is absolutely disgraceful.”

   “The smell,” said another and nearly gagged on remembering. “God, you will never forget it.”

   I hadn’t seen or smelled it yet, but I was about to.

   “Come on,” American Marine Sergeant Dehaan said to me. “Let’s go take a look.”

   He concludes it’s still better than Saddam.

   Curiouser, and curiouser.

   All in all he is sober relief from the Gorgon, Ann Outhouse.

   Cleo – Have you met datadave?

   It’s considered courteous, Cleo, if you’re going to quote something from elsewhere, to include a link. Either learn how, or retreat to a level of technology that you can handle.

   Or does your TV remote have too many buttons?

   There’s an eclipse tonight. I know Reynold’s must periodically leave Earth’s atmosphere to recharge his power cell. Perhaps there’s a coincidence?

   Cleo, my remote will take me to the exact TV program I want to watch. Your HTML skills are like unto the TV remote that can only get me to the channel it may someday appear on.

   Welcome to the 20th century, loser.

    Ann really just pimps that McCain rumor today to no purpose and what really sucks about that is she herself is a first-class ho for the New York Times, all of which adds up to a much more substantive breach of ethics than anything in the article. I’m just pissed at her is all cause she has shown herself to be a petty petty woman and that’s the part I’m not gonna talk about cause it’s none of my business really.

    Crap. There’s that easily suggestible thing again. I thought I was getting a handle on that.

    Is it me, or is Megan kinda’ hot, in a guilty, forbidding way? You know, like eating something that tastes really good, but you know it’s not really good for you.

    Only if you have never been in jail before. It used to be required of revolutionaries, I guess now not so much.

    CHICKEN INMATES!!!!
