    spade not called spade

    By briantologist | June 28, 2009

    I try not to get overly political up in this muther, but that’s less from a lack of desire to express political viewpoints and more from a lack of desire to formulate a well-thought-out opinion that doesn’t involve as much profanity as I generally choose to use.

    That said, I heard something on “On the Media” on NPR today that I could not let slide. Read all about it here, at The Talent Show, where politics lives.

      I read that too, and it most certainly was.

      Holder wants to look into interrogations. I’m sure that torture word is going to get tossed around a lot. Maybe even by NPR, who I would like to think just had a brain fart, and is going to right their word choices very soon.
