STACY TAYLOR

Who I'd like to meet:

HERE'S A COUPLE RECENT ENTRIES FROM STACY'S BLOG FOUND AT WWW.STACYTAYLOR.COM Saturday, May 9, 2009 by Spike. Question: what possibly could be worse than a one hour exposure to the legal philosophical psychosis of John “Ball Crusher” Yoo, Bush’s former co-enabler on matters of illegal surveillance and torture? Answer: An hour of Yoo and Kevin Starr, both smugly and unrepentantly insisting on CSPAN Saturday morning that virtually all power resides in the White House during times of “war” (and keep in mind, by war, they mean undeclared, life-long wars that would ensure these privileges eternally). I watched in gape-mouth wonderment as Starr and Yoo blathered insanely before the American Enterprise Institute on the need for executive privilege, secrecy, and autonomy, all the while slyly winking and nodding their approval of military tribunals for civilian detainees, and extolling the virtues of torture and extra-judicial executions. You may recall that Yoo acquired the “Ball Crusher” nickname when he responded, during a campus debate, to the question “If the President deems that he’s got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person’s child, there is no law that can stop him?” with “I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that.” Forgetting for a moment that Starr once famously rejected Bill Clinton’s invocation of executive privilege during the Lewinski inquisition, and also forgetting the painful fact that these two fascists occupy tenured positions at esteemed west coast universities, what really struck me about this little chat was the audacious certitude with which these war criminals discussed their perverse and criminal philosophies. Here’s the link (if you can stomach it!). Posted in Spike News | Print | 4 Comments » Print This Post Friday, May 8, 2009 by Spike. Ok. I’m gonna pop an adderall tonight and write 30 posts in succession just to stave off the he said/she said abysmal drain circling that occurs when the Blogger ( Me!) takes a minor respite and assumes the Acolytes (You!) will carry the torch so that I can scratch my lazy ass and reap the revenues of this website (None!). But alas, the Fidrych piece non-plussed most of you, and I’ve been travelling and F**king off extensively, so I feel the Calvinistic need to….Perform! But, alas, there are no “current events” to which I feel worthy to respond. Plus, stung by a recent post that suggested that my shallow description of my trip to Paris was too high falutin’ for y’all to comprehend, I’m not sure where to go here. Let’s see….Obama suggested that people wash their hands to help stave off swine flu and Re-Pugs reacted with the usual disdainful, gratuitous cold cock…where do I go with that? Let’s see: 1)most Americans probably do need to be reminded to wash their hands, 2) the whole swine flu thing was a trumped up BOO! to get you to invest in Rumsfeld’s Gilead, and 3)most Re-Pugs probably hire some illegal to not only wash their hands for them, but also wipe their asses, what more is there really to say? Sorry people, but what once used to amaze, amuse, and titillate us has been rendered to the tedious exercise of watching our guy cautiously try to correct a shit-load of deferred maintenance and out-and-out-vandalism by the Bushistas and their fellow travellers in the media. Hell, I was just kidding about the adderall, but I’d need some pure under-the-sink crank to even muster the energy to click on CrooksandLiars dot com, much less Raw Story, to figure out the “progressive” take on the eco-bailout that serves as the Dem appeasement to their Wall Street over-lords. Lets face it folks, the fix is in, the fix has always been in, and any energy on my behalf to lip stick the pig would only makes me wish I’d not wasted the lip stick, but instead used it write snarky messages on the mirror of our own collective indifference to what is really important.
