Are Republicans really that stupid, or do they just think we are that stupid. Senator Imhoff, R-Landrush, extoling the virtues of indefinite captivity:

“Anyone, any detainee over 55 has an opportunity to have a colonoscopy. Now none of them take ’em up on it because once they explain what it is none of them want to do it. But nonetheless its an opportunity that they have.”

A Pome, not by Henry Gibson:

Ode To Tropical Breeze Colonoscopies
By Madeleine Begun Kane

I’m moving to Gitmo real soon
Cuz I’m told inmate health care’s a boon.
Colonoscopies free
After fifty-five. Whee!
So please lock me up, Sen. Buffoon!

Afterthought:

All joking aside, the good Senator’s remark betrays a casual cruelty that is actually rather appalling.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
