As I noted in my previous post, Senator Barack Obama, who has made it a point in speech after speech – and at numerous Dem debates – to expressly condemn the practice of “waterboarding,” could not be bothered to show up to vote against it yesterday. He was too busy with bigger priorities, like campaigning for president.
Gateway Pundit has the details on the Senate vote that narrowly passed Wednesday on a bill that bans an interrogation technique called “waterboarding” – a technique that, as GP notes, has saved lives.
This has been one of those weeks where I’ve had a lot of trouble getting to sleep, and you know how you feel when you don’t get enough rest: tired, sluggish, irritable – not at your best. You sure don’t want to get up in the morning. Add to that, the after-effects of suffering from information overload, and feeling overwhelmed and frustrated from wanting to write so much about what you’re seeing but not having enough time in the day to do it – plus, cloudy skies and not a lot of sunlight, and you’ve got one moody blonde chica.
Show solidarity, that is.
Hot off the presses, here are the first round of pix from Zombietime on yesterday’s protests and counter-protests in Berkeley.
