Crimes Against Inhumanity

The Onion's humor is very poignant to me. It's funny, only because of the utter despair that the real news media often instills.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND—An international peace-crimes tribunal commenced legal proceedings against former U.S. President Jimmy Carter for alleged crimes against inhumanity Monday.
"Jimmy Carter's political career includes a laundry list of anti-war-making offenses," said chief prosecutor Charles B. Simmons. "Carter's record of benevolence, diplomacy, and respect for human life is unrivaled in recent geopolitical history. For millions, the very sight of his face evokes memories of his administration's reign of tolerance."

Mukasey slips up

Daily Kos has a good rundown on the incongruities of Mukasey's speech last week.

Olbermann has picked up on the story, questioning whether Mukasey is confused about details, and making this story up out of whole cloth, or whether this is yet more indication of the incompetence of the Bush administration, or whether it is actual willful negligence on the part of the administration.

Yep, those aren't very good options.
