Die! Die! Die!

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that child rapists are not subject to the death penalty. Of course a certain conservative jurists said that some states really want to kill child rapists and that perhaps we are shifting course on this issue. Kennedy wrote the decision finding that it constituted cruel and unusual punishment.

As always - my issue is - is the death penalty actually punishment? I never thought so, still don't. I mean it can be an effective deterrent, though I think usually criminals can't do a thorough cost-benefit analysis or think they won't get caught. But what part of it is punishment? I mean, you are dead. I suppose not being alive is like a punishment, but you don't really get to experience it. Now being alive and a child rapist and in jail. That is a punishment that I could only wish on a child rapist.

The Avalanche Continues

J. E. Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes: No such thing as a war for free

And this is what McBush wants to continue for another 100 years? Seriously, do we want to take a crack at solving America's problems, or make some people seriously rich at the cost of nearly 4,000 American lives and an undetermined, mind bogglingly large number of Iraqi lives? Not to mention everyone else in the world hating us?

Where are those New Zealand emigration papers...

a YOOOOOOOOGE asshole... or... da YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGEST asshole?

News item: Bush "Envious" of U.S. Troops in Afghanistan and Iraq

"I must say, I'm a little envious," Bush said. "If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed."

Wow! - this sounds like Fung & I...and our secret forbidden love...

"The Zoo" by R. Kelly

[Intro]
I wanna see (your body)
I wanna feel (your body)
I wanna touch (your body)
I wanna kiss (your body)
I wanna freak (your body)
Wanna sex
It's nothing like (your body)
(Your body)

[Verse 1]
It's like a jungle atmosphere
And we're two monkeys baby
It's like we're on a vine
The way we're swinging it baby
See, you're a tiger girl
The way you're scratching me
I'm a lion
In this jungle I'm a king
Girl, I got you so wet
It's like a rain forest
Like Jurassic Park
Except I'm your sex-a-saurus baby
You and me hopping
Like two kangaroos
Rattling and moaning
Out here in these woods

[B-section 1]
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
Those are the sounds I wanna hear
When you're moaning in my ear
Girl you're singing to me
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
You got me locked up in your cage of ecstasy
And I don't wanna be free cause it's

[Chorus 1]
Wild like a zoo
And that's the way I like it baby
Crazy me and you
Making love like we was just two heated animals
Baby come and lay with me in my jungle

[Verse 2]
Ooo, I swear I'm about to go
Turn your body around and beat the skins like it's a bongo
A thousand birds up out the tree
Girl, like a swarm of bees
That is how it's gonna be
Climaxing you and me
Touch the root of your soul
Let Mother Nature take control
Over us is rain and leaves
So come on girl
Let's plant these seeds, yeah

[B-section 2]
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
Baby, those are the sounds I wanna hear
When you're moaning in my ear
Singing

Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
(Oh yeah)
You got me locked up in your cage of ecstasy
And I don't wanna be free cause it's

[Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
Ya'll don't understand
Like two cheetahs running free
African butterfly to me
You're my safari fantasy
Girl this is heaven to me
Baby we are like coconut and banana trees
(It's a tropical)
Tropical chemistry
Like the wild life
I'm doing you baby
(I'm doing you baby)
You're doing me baby
(You're doing me baby)
It's you and me
(It's you and me)
Going wild

[Chorus 3]

[Outro]
And the whole jungle goes
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa

Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa

Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa

Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Aaa aaa aaa aaa
