Glenn smears Liz for smearing Russia Glenn Greenwald, amoozin’ yet confoosin’ as ever, launches a furious attack on the recently defenestrated Liz Cheney, claiming that Cheney lied about her perpetration of the “Russians paid for dead Americans in Afghanistan” hustle cooked up by the CIA and used by Cheney and other various assorted warmongers to…

The screwing of Matt Gaetz: A Fuller Perspective
A couple of weeks ago I raised the interesting question of whether Rep. Matt Gaetz, who comes across as a walking parody of “Florida Man”, complete with nudie pics on the cellphone, is being framed as a sex trafficking pedophile, when in fact his only “crime” is, well, being a “Florida man”. Well, the sometimes…
John Kerry: Yes, I am beneath contempt and unworthy of high office. Why do you ask?
I guess John Kerry wants me to hate him. Here’s what our secretary of state has to say about Edward Snowden, the dude who exposed massive and ongoing illegal and unconstitutional spying by our government: ““Edward Snowden is a coward. He is a traitor. And he has betrayed his country. And if he wants to…
Calling Justice Scalia
I don’t know if Nino can protect me, but I’m putting through a call on, yes, my Verizon cell. Obama only wants to protect me, of course, regardless of what that awful Glenn Greenwald has to say. Or that awful New York Times. One can hope that reaction to this latest outrage will be the first step…
President Obama’s sweaty underwear, updated
Glenn Greenwald and Marcy Wheeler (aka “Emptywheel”) go into the legal weeds to refute, in fairly mind-numbing detail, the efforts of government lawyers/enablers David Barron and Marty Lederman to pretend that it’s OK to murder someone if they talk too much, as set forth by New York Times journalists/stenographers Mark Mazzetti, Charlie Savage, and Scott…
How about that Charlie Sheen? I hear he gets more tail than General Petraeus!
Glenn Greenwald devotes perhaps too many column inches to the otherwise valid point that usually when a public figure gets caught with his pants down he’s the recipient of delighted, scurrilous ridicule, but that when it’s a four-star general named Petraeus, the rules are different. So, Glenn, I’m helping. More seriously, Petraeus has one major…
Glenn gets one wrong
If you read this blog at all, you know that I’m a huge fan of Glenn Greenwald, who’s worn out half a dozen keyboards recording the countless violations committed by the Obama Administration to truth, civil liberties, the rule of law, and simple common human decency in its endless war on terror, and just about…
Cruel and Unusual Punishment: It’s getting to be a habit with us
Glenn Greenwald tells the massively depressing story of our government’s treatment of Bradley Manning: “Bradley Manning, the 22-year-old U.S. Army Private accused of leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks, has never been convicted of that crime, nor of any other crime. Despite that, he has been detained at the U.S. Marine brig in Quantico, Virginia for…
America the Innocent, on Occasion
Glenn Greenwald hammers away at a pricelessly asinine article in the New York Times on those wacky Pakistanis, who actually think that the U.S. means them harm! Oy, those paranoid Muslim freaks! Where do they get the idea that the U.S. might, you know, attack and kill innocent people with, you know, predator drones from…
Talk smack, Jack! Bang, you’re dead!
Glenn Greenwald, very easily upset but so often very right, goes off on an internal discussion of Newsweek dudes and dudettes about who is and who is not a terrorist, a conversation prompted, naturally, by the terrorist attack on the IRS office in Austin, Texas by murderer/terrorist Joseph Stack. Glenn calls the efforts of these…
