Enemy combatants, xkcd, and male bathroom etiquette

“Congress’ shameful retreat from American values” (from Prometheus 6) is a rather shamefully emotionally manipulative piece, but was the first I’d heard about the “[tag]enemy combatant[/tag]” proposal being passed by the Senate. This makes me sad. This kind of shit is why I’m voting in a midterm election year.

I’ve followed the rules my entire life. AND didn’t know what they were.

*laugh* I wouldn’t mind seeing the equivalent for women in bathrooms, although I think I could enumerate about 85% of the rules I follow there.

I think Keillor did what he was supposed to do, given his opinion on the subject and the seriousness, whether I agree with everything or not. I wrote a column this week (http://www.thetigernews.com/media/storage/paper863/news/2006/10/06/Opinion/Focus.On.Blame.Detracts.From.Issues-2336647.shtml?norewrite200610080815&sourcedomain=www.thetigernews.com)
essentially on why this is being downplayed in the papers and how Congress arrived at this legislation a little quickly, although I’m pretty sure both the House and Senate have passed it. But you should investigate in and vote in every midterm election, whether there’s a major foreign policy shift or not.
