The blog formerly about a daily dose of mostly Minnesota sports rants and raves with a sprinkling of general sports commentary and a pinch of jaded-malaise regarding the world around us

So, this is our Attorney General . . .

Take our minds off Johan for a second.

Saw this on cnn.com regarding Mukasey and waterboarding.

Sen. Edward Kennedy put it best. After Mukasey said that if it was done to him he would find it torture but, in general, still can't qualify it as torture is "like saying you're opposed to stealing but not quite sure that bank robbery qualifies."

What is also shocking is that in a CNN poll, 69% said it was torture while 29% said it wasn't. I'd like to strap down those 29%, put a rag in over their mouths, and pour water onto them to see if they would change their minds. You know that the 29% are men, live somewhere in the South, own all of Jean Claude van Damme's movies on DVD, and have a home address that starts with some reference to the wilderness (ex. "Tall Pines" or "Shady Valley") and ends with "Trailer Park."
