1:17p - A carefully honed selection of lies
Or, Things I Learned From My Supervisor
-There are few sights as endearing as a grizzled academic to whom a possibly novel idea for a reaction has suddenly occurred.
-Studying an area of chemistry that nobody else in the department really gives a shit about makes poster sessions potentially hilarious. I sing the making-shit-up song.
-Apparently archaeology is a proper science. They publish articles in Nature and everything.

5:28p - fuck this shit
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/5395830/Abu-Ghraib-abuse-photos-show-rape.html
So the shine begins to wear pretty quickly off the Golden Boy, huh. Good thing the most powerful nation on Earth is led by a salwart, brave man who isn't afraid to bow to pressure... from the leaders... of a corrupt and broken army... who appear to've institutionalized every sort of torture and abuse... for shits 'n giggles.
After all the only purpose these pictures will serve is a legal one, right? And you know rape and mutilation aren't crimes or anything, at least not if the CIA and the army says you're allowed. We were only following orders, isn't that how it goes? No need to try anyone for this shit. Especially not given that releasing the photographic evidence of egregious human rights abuses that practically everyone knew or assumed was happening anyway might *gasp* tarnish the gleaming reputation of the United States of America!
I'm disappointed in you, Obama. For some reason I thought that 'setting a good precedent as a black leader of a historically racist country' would, somehow, translate to 'being a better person than the disgusting dregs of humanity who rape children in front of their parents'. Apparently not, not if the last few pathetic shreds of shit-soaked dignity that America has left are at stake.
Goddamn men with guns, nothing good comes of a situation when you let men with guns in.
