Let me get this straight.
Dick Durbin digs up two instances of enemy combatants being subjected to uncomfortable temperature extremes, rap music, and suddenly we are the Khmer Rouge?
Allow me to inform Senator Durbin that there a quite a few people in this country who regularly endure spells of cold that no air conditioner could hope to re-create.
These folks are called 'Alaskans,' or sometimes just 'Northerners.'
There are also quite a few of us who regularly have to endure long periods of 100 degree plus temperatures. They are called 'Texans.'
As someone who has lived considerable amounts of time in both Alaska and Texas, I can tell you that I never seriously wondered whether I had it worse than the Jews in the Holocaust.
Perhaps I lack the sensitivity of Senator Durbin. That rap music thing, though, is way uncalled for.
One thing I don't lack is the skills necessary to read a book every now and then, and most of the books I've read indicate that during the holocaust people were starved/gassed/burned to death, those interned in the Soviet gulags were sent to Siberia where air conditioning would have been a blast of hot air, and Pol Pot murdered 2 million of his own civillians.
So in Dick Durbin's mind, listening for rap music for 18 hours is roughly equivalent to all that. Who says that the Democratic Party is losing touch with the African Americans?
What I would like to know is, at what point can we claim torture for being forced to listen to Dick Durbin?

As I've said earlier...what male in their right mind would have a problem being kept awake by Christina? ;o)
Durbin should go shoot himself and spare us valuble oxygen.
1) Listening to:

Or 2) Listening to:
At least I can turn the sound down and still enjoy Christina's videos.
I've been in the army. I've learned that I can wake and sleep through a 72 hour stretch of Beasty Boys and unrecognizable purported music styles played at levels which cause furniture to vibrate and slide across the floor like those old tabletop football games. We didn't have airconditioning though.
I say we loose the dogs of war and play Yoko Ono for these creeps.
She's too skanky for moi, but she's better than the fig-pucker.
Glamour UK reports "Britney Spears says her new single is all about having a child, but Britney says she wrote it two weeks before she discovered she was pregnant. "I wrote this song at my piano, at my house. I wrote it two weeks before I found out that I was pregnant, so it was really kind of weird, because the song's about having a baby It's kind of like a prophecy Everyone in general should voice their wishes more, because I think the more you throw it out to the universe, if you're in the right space and place in your life, it's weird how the universe gives it back to you.
Someone should probably sit Britney down and explain where babies come from, cause, correct me if Im wrong, its not from the Universe after it heard your crappy song and decided you were ready. "Prophecy" might not be the only way to predict that unprotected sex with an idiot hillbilly who is too drunk/stupid to pull out might lead to pregnancy. It's also charming that someone who has been handed millions like Britney thinks the reason the rest of us arent rich is because we dont voice our wishes more. Jesus Christ I hate these two. I gotta get me a bear. And teach it to maul anything in sky blue Fubu and backwards Yankees hats. And then release it in Malibu. Once chunks of Kevin showed up in the bears stool, animal control might be pretty upset, but then Id explain it was Kevin Federline and wed all have a pretty good laugh. (thesuperficial.com)

We should make them watch all 3 seasons American Idol!
Should play Bruce Greenwood's famous patriot song that was played the night Ronald Reagan won the Republican presidential nomination. Now that would be real torture for these islamic murdering terrorists.
We should make them watch all 3 seasons of American Idol!
If we did maybe Dick Durban's comments JUST MIGHT be accurate. Sarcasm
Vocal gymnastics vs. verbal bombastics. Tough one!
Every Democrat in Congress has been assigned a 'whine of the week' or 'drubbing for the day'.
Procedure: Take a headline from MSM. Read it in the Senate. Ask for an explanation from the Military. Ask for an explanation from the White House. Call them both liars. Say 'I support the troops'. Slander the troops. Ask for more explanations from the military and more from the White House. Call them liars.
Repeat 24/7
Run for re-election on the basis that you will continue to 'fight for the troops' and the families of 'the troops'.
Smile and call the President of the USA a 'liar' a 'loser' and ask for "your support".
