The Cheneys vs. the Crazies

Oh, and while we’re on the subject of Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney, here’s Human Rights First’s knocking of ‘Keep America Safe’, the ridiculous organization they started up to call any American politician a traitor if they don’t believe in torture and indefinite detention of alleged terrorists not yet found guilty of crimes:

As I noted in my earlier blog post, it’s called ‘Keep America Safe’ instead of ‘Keep America Strong.’ A strong America doesn’t torture people, doesn’t indefinitely detain people charged with crimes they haven’t been convicted of, and doesn’t rely on kangaroo courts that often fail. The Cheneys are less concerned with America’s strength because everything feels pretty good from their undisclosed location.

    About Me

    I'm waiting for the day when I can get the news directly into my brain. Until then, I'll be lit up by the electric glow of screens, chasing the latest breaking like the hopeless news junkie I am. Ever since the Encyclopaedia Britannica tried to launch a web portal ten years ago, I've seen many ends of the online news spectrum, from my time as a political news reporter for both RawStory.com and the Huffington Post to the better part of a year I spent running the late New York Sun's website. There have been a lot of other stops in between. Now I am your homepage editorial overlord. But I haven't let it go to my head. Yet.
