    Not that this should be terribly surprising.
    HRW reports from South Osetia

    So South Ossetian militia pick 8/8/8 to start killing and looting ethnic Georgians.

    CIS 'peacekeepers' do nothing.

    Georgia does send in troops to quell.

    It seems clear from the demeanor and statements of those troops they didn't want provocation since they were saying don't not to open fire and we aren’t going to shoot.

    Which was just the excuse Russia hoped for.

    So it was a setup, and Saakashvili took the bait. It's hard bait not to take when your people are getting killed but it wasn't wise, when he was the one who was telling the world that Russian troops were preparing to invade. but he felt he had to do something and it explains the timid approach the Georgian troops were taking.

    No evidence of Georgian ethnic cleansing

    Proof of Bigfoots!
    I tried to call George last night to announce this clear logical proof.. but they were out of time:(

    So I will explain.

    No there is no time, I will sum up.

    It's impossible that there would be no genetic evidence of bigfeets because they have been around for almost a century, LONG before the US was aware of DNA evidence. They couldn't have scrubbed sites of DNA, because they had no idea it even existed.

    UNLESS!

    This is the key!

    How could the govt possibly know to hide DNA evidence of bigfoot?

    ROSWELL ALIENS!

    PROOF ALIENS EXIST!

    No aliens, no possible way to hide the existence of Wendigo.

    QED.

    DIAF Skeptics!

    In case we needed more proof..
    Bush is a tool

    He refuses to call a special session. Which means there is almost certainly going to be an omnibus budget with the accompanying budget showdown and threat of 'shutting down govt'. (Oh noes don't throw me in that briar patch!)

    Cause when Bush and Pelosi act toward the same end, you just know it's gotta be in the best interest of the people, right?!

    PJ's still got it
    "Also, America's political parties are indistinguishable to the European eye. A British journalist once described the situation thus: 'America is a one-party state, but just like Americans they've got two of them.' (I forget which British journalist said that. But there are so many British journalists who should be forgotten. Maybe it was Alexander Cockburn.)

    The difference between American parties is actually simple. Democrats are in favor of higher taxes to pay for greater spending, while Republicans are in favor of greater spending, for which the taxpayers will pay."

    ...

    "Meanwhile, in the Democratic field, Barack Obama may be altering our national political equation. Obama is an indication that America has reached an important benchmark in race relations. In America it is now officially more important to be cute than to be white."

    full text here

    The article is dated, and not all of it is as cute as those excerpts, but those bit made me laugh. It also made me sad, when did PJ become so religious?

    Obama now considers limited drilling..
    ..and today crude prices drop below $120.

    Clearly there is NO correlation!

    Bush rescinds executive ban on OCS drilling and crude prices plummet the same day.

    Clearly there is NO correlation!

    I see here NO evidence that basic economics is supported by these data. Economics is the tool of the bourgeois.

    It should be clear that raising taxes is the only plan that will reduce prices.

    Trolley's, Ethics, and Politics
    There is a well known thought experiment called the Trolley Problem.

    It goes thus. )

    Increase oil supply to reduce prices, shocking!
    Is it supposed to make my dislike McCain because he understands economics?

    I suppose it escaped everyone's notice that crude dropped after the executive drilling ban was rescinded?;)

    Give a authoritarians an inch..
    “Enough is enough – we need to get tough on knives in this country..”

    Wild Wacky British

    The case isn't that interesting but the political reality one can infer from that comment is disturbing.

    "I have often been called a Nazi, and, although it is unfair, I don't let it bother me. I don't let it bother me for one simple reason. No one has ever had a fantasy about being tied to a bed an sexually ravished by someone dressed as a liberal."

    "Some people are worried about the difference between right and wrong. I'm worried about the difference between wrong and fun."

    "The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then get elected and prove it."

    "Wherever there's injustice, oppression, and suffering, America will show up six months late and bomb the country next to where it's happening."

    More PJO goodness )
