<q>Plus I suspect that they’ll play some tricky buggers as to where exactly the money goes – it’s really all just varying sources of income that you can claim independently go to certain things. </q.
Yeah, that was weird. I had thought that even the gold standard people agreed that money was fungible. But apparently, it's much more controversial than I thought.
I guess there is nothing for it but that we all write to Bill (cc Dunne) and ask where our individual tax dollars got spent. If it was me that paid EU prices for mini bar bottles of crap scotch, there will be words, rest assured.

Key has explicitly said he’ll sell these assets and only buy others with the proceeds.
I'm not clear about what he meant though. Didn't he mention schools and roads as examples? They don't seem to be in the same category of 'assets' to me.

That would be sad if it wasn't so funny.

WashTimes doubles down on the blood libel business:
This is simply the latest round of an ongoing pogrom against conservative thinkers.

That they admit water boarding is too a verifiable fact.
Not lying so much might help your case.
As to the, erm, substance of your solipsism, none of what you say is relevant. It's not just politicians admitting waterboarding, there are the interrogating agencies for starters. I'm also pretty sure that the issue has come up in the courts when they were discussing the problem of what to do about KSM et al, with regard to what evidence would be, and not be, admissible.
There are also numbers of reports and admissions and evidential briefings about other types of torture, such as the use of pharmaceuticals and psychological techniques that the State Dept regularly usd to call torture when other governments did it.
All of these things are in and of themselves verifiable facts, the existence of which is not balanced by the existence of similar facts supporting the allegations of Obambislamikenyanism.
Which would be by way of being the point.

Where are the verifiable facts?
They admit waterboarding people Angus. So there's one.
The war crime trials after WWII convicted people who waterboarded prisoners to gain information. So there's another.
I'm not an official type with the power to say my conclusions are official, but I can construct a syllogism starting from them there available facts.I suspect you can too.
I'd like to see the verifiable fact you could introduce to the recipe that prevents "Is too a war criminal" being the conclusion.

It is a shame there hasn't been a court hearing.

"For the other there is “His father’s a Muslim, his middle name is ‘Hussein’, ergo, he’s a Muslim.”"
That's not fair! He's also a bit too swarthy to be a real American.
And you know who else isn't a real murkin? Muslims, that's who.

I'll see your Trent Humphries chappie and raise you an Erick son of Erick:
Out there somewhere is someone who would love to kill Governor Palin. God forbid they do it. But you and I both know there is some crazy MSNBC watcher and Media Matters reader who even now is dreaming of doing so.
And should they try, we can be equally sure of something else. The left will be divided into two camps: (1) bitch deserved it and (2) not my fault.
It is unfortunate. I hope it never happens. But you and I both know the reality in which we live.

...with an assist from Beck who assures us that the Republic may not survive such a happening, which would obviously be worse than the civil war, the cold war, WWII, and a long enough list of actual presidential assassinations all rolled up into a newspaper to swat liberals with.

As long as it doesn't get all over my Death Panel.
