Griper Blade: Remember When Everyone Thought Torture was Evil?

In the US, however, the right seems to have been taken over, to a certain degree, by big torture fans. Oddly, the religious right has weighed in in favor of torture.

I first heard the case of Maher Arar on NPR on the way home today. This is sickening to think the Bush, a so called Christian, is allowing, or even ordering this kind of torture to happen. Is it any wonder that the rest of the world looks on America with contempt?

Can anyone do anything to right things for Maher?

Butter Fried Krispy Kreme Donuts | Family Resource (FamilyResource.com)

Several months ago I was visiting my grandmother in Kingsport, TN and discovered the most delicious food ever! I awoke one morning and found her frying a Krispy Kreme donut. My immediate response was, “that’s disgusting!” She told me to hold off until I had tasted it. She was right, it was the most delicious heart-stopping food I’d ever had. After one bite, all of the fancy desserts I’d eaten before had completely disappeared from my memory.

Yum?
