Here’s proof the Mayans got it wrong with their calendar
The world is ending well before December, 2012. It now officially ends on Oct. 13, 2009, the date when Bob Dylan releases his album of Christmas classics.
According to the New York Times, “among the traditional songs that Mr. Dylan will perform on the album, which Columbia Records is to release on Oct. 13, are “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “Winter Wonderland,” “Little Drummer Boy” and “Must Be Santa.”

Is this a joke? Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter of all time, but Little Drummer Boy?
Oh God, I really hate that song – it makes me want to slit my wrist everytime I hear it.

I thought the product offering downstairs was bad, but I’d eat that thing before I’d listen to Dylan singing Christmas songs.

With KSM, the CIA clearly believes that they never would have gotten his intel in time without the specific use of the waterboard. That vindicates what Cheney has said all along — that the waterboard and the other EITs prevented terrorist attacks in the US and did significant damage to AQ. In effect, Cheney and apparently the CIA called Obama’s bluff, with the agency finally getting the other side of the argument on EITs in the open. EITs and specifically the waterboard saved American lives without costing the terrorists being interrogated any lasting physical damage.
Put me in the vindicated column
