End of the World

I don’t have much to say about North Korea’s nuclear ambitions. Except maybe that it would be a good idea to master things like electricity before worrying about getting your Mutual Assured Destruction on.

But in the spirit of newsiness, I offer you a golden oldie, The End of the World.

An Ode to Fafblog

Fafblog

Since one of the bestest, most awesomist blogs has been dormant since June 2006, I feel it is my duty to steal and post one of their seminal works here for posterity:

So You’re Being Tortured To Death In An American Military Prison!

Q: Help! I’m being tortured to death in an American military prison! What should I do?
A: First of all, you should get your facts straight. You’re not being tortured to death in an American military prison; you’re being interrogated to death in an American detainment facility. America does not tolerate torture.

Q: Is there any sort of legal representative or due process I could get before being beaten to death?
A: No. Lawyers, open legal procedures, and basic civil liberties are all tools the enemy can use to escape justice - the justice of being beaten to death in a prison camp.
Q: It’s just that my name is Musab Mohammed Khan, the pastry chef, and I believe you have me confused with Musab Muhammed Khan, the al Qaeda associate also known as “The Fist of Jihad.”
A: First, there are many terrorist pastry chefs, just as there are many terrorist pastries. Second, competent intelligence and accurate prison records are both tools the enemy can use to escape justice.

Q: I seem to be losing all feeling in my lower body. Is there a doctor in the gulag?
A: Please: we find the term “gulag” absurd and offensive. A “gulag” is Russian. You are not being interrogated to death by Russians. You are being interrogated to death by the greatest country in the world.
Q: Is there a more accurate term you’d pre- aaaa! AAAAAAAA!
A: We prefer “outpost of liberty” or “island of freedom.” Stringing together Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, and Bagram Airbase creates the Freedom Archipelago.
Q: So! Much! FreeedaaaAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGH!!!

Q: When I die in a few minutes, will my death help the cause of freedom?
A: Not really. But in a way, isn’t death itself just freedom from life - the greatest prison of all?
Q: Wow… you’ve *HRAAACK* totally blown my mind - and my lung and ribcage and my kneecaps!
A: Oh, don’t thank us - it’s all part of being tortured to death in an American military prison!

Come back Fafnir!

Lali0001

Last night I was walking my dog around our new neigborhood. And like any good aspiring blogofascist, I was trying to figure out a way to lighten up the content on my blog. Unless you’re our Torquemada-in-Chief or a troll on Political Animal, you just can’t talk about torture 24/7. Tbogg has the Pre-Friday Random Ten. My favorite blogger, Mr. Drum, invented cat blogging. Surely, I could think of something.

And that’s when it hit me, or rather walked past me. Alyssa Milano, holding a small furry creature under her arm, approached me in the opposite direction and proceeded to fawn over my one-year-old Rat Terrier, Lali. “So cute”, she said as we passed in the dwindling evening sun.

If it’s good enough for her, it should be good enough for all of us. And with that, I’d like to introduce my first regular feature, “Alyssa Milano thinks my dog is cute…Blogging”. Share and Enjoy.
