This comes close to the Obama campaign video from 2008. Good job, Bernie!

This Is What Global Climate Change Looks Like

Think Progress posts this review of an interview with a US Science Official.  The money quote:

“Many people around the world are beginning to appreciate that climate change is under way, that it’s having consequences that are playing out in real time and, in the United States at least, we are seeing more and more examples of extreme weather and extreme climate-related events,” Lubchenco told a university forum in the Australian capital of Canberra.

“People’s perceptions in the United States at least are in many cases beginning to change as they experience something first-hand that they at least think is directly attributable to climate change,” she said.

Street Battle in Iran

Likely one of the most compelling videos I've seen:

Tancredo Rant

Because Tom Tancredo says that La Raza is the the Hispanic KKK, and La Raza's about the same speed as the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick ony Hispanic rather than Irish, and I guess since I attended the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick picnic in 1985 (Pete Gillen, the newly hired head coach at Xavier was there to), I, too must meet Tom Tancredo's definition of a racist.

183

How does anyone survive being waterboarded 183 times - - in one month. That's over 6 times a day, and most assuredly it wasn't with that level of consistency, I'm assuming.

I was also struck by the clinical nature of the commentary from the Bradbury report:

...where authorized, it may be used for two "sessions" per day of up to two hours. During a session, water may be applied up to six times for ten seconds or longer (but never more than 40 seconds). In a 24-hour period, a detainee may be subjected to up to twelve minutes of water appliaction....Additionally, the waterboard may be used on as many as five days during a 30-day approval period.

Thinking about those times in my life, either as a result of some foolishness underwater, or something going down the wrong pipe, experiencing just a few seconds of the panicked sensation of not being able to breathe, and then multiplying it out to the extent of what is described here is unfathomable.
