Yep, this diary is stupid, lame, frivolous, and inappropriate to the seriousness of the matters at hand. It is also totally out of my usual genre, and should (hopefully will) be done much more cleverly and creatively - by much better diarists than I - when the time is right.
However, I've been "egged on" by TNThorpe
Two bloggers are working at their computers.
IndigaNation (IG)
"Screw investigation, we've got enough evidence already, prosecute NOW, and hang 'em all - the agents, the DOJ lawyers. From the guys who prepared the meals in the kitchen, all the way up to Bush."
MellowFellow(MF)
"Wait a minnit. Let's think this through. You know that's not realistic? Your getting shrill and irrational - it doesn't get good results"
IG
"Shrill? Whaddaya mean 'shrill'? Is it 'rational' to just let by-gones be by-gones? Fellow humans tortured - tortured!! but that's OK with you?"
MF
"Listen, a-hole. I don't support torture and I resent you suggesting I do: I just want us to think through some political realities"
IG
"Political reee-al-it-eeees? We are talking about human decency and the rule of law. Guess you wandered over here from LGF by mistake. (Oh, and HR for the a-hole, you MF)"
MF
I'm through with this place. We used to be the "reality based" community. How far we have fallen. Now all we have is a "pootie based community"
IG
Well, don't let it hit ya on the way out - that cat door can be a real butt buster!

The next morning, another diary:
Rush and Bill-O have done it again. When is the MSM going to wake UP???
IG&MF together (to the Gershiwin tune for Summertime and the Living is Easy)
"Obama Whitehouse, and Change is ascendant
News is breaking, and the feelings run high
AIG is rich, and bank books are cooking
Hush little tea-bagger, don't you cry
One of these mornings GMA will do journalism
You'll learn about torture, Cheney, and why
But until that morning enjoy Susan on YouTube
While Iraqi's and Afghanis continue to die"

Hey, TN! Whoever you are - come on up and take credit (or lumps) for the monster you have created!
