A Twist of Things to Come

By way of deadcat_vagrant :




I'm falling over with unsurprise. Don't get me wrong -- I'm no conservative-basher, myself. I'm a fiscal conservative and a social liberal, but holy cow, torture is torture. While I admit to being a fan of Jack "I'm gonna need a hacksaw" Bauer in real life, there have to be principles.Besides, torture doesn't really work - people will say anything if you hurt them enough, but it doesn't mean what they say is true.

There just... there has to be a line we don't cross.

In other news, I'm really proud of myself for fixing some issues with the website all on my own, today. I'm not ready to lose the training wheels yet, but I'm learning.

Last night I watched Deception and it really was as bad as everyone said. It's like a suspense/thriller for people who were dropped on their heads as babies -- Hitchcock for the short bus crowd. The actors were all great, and I'm not even sure the scrip was the problem. It was either the director or the studio did focus groups populated by people so stoned they had to have badges in order to remember their names.
