Harry Truman, somebody saw it coming

HIROSHIMA — A mock tribunal organized by lawyers and civic groups found on Sunday former U.S. President Harry Truman and former U.S. military officials guilty of committing crimes against humanity and violating international law by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 in World War II.

Wrapping up the two-day tribunal at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum building, three law experts from the United States, Costa Rica and Japan posing as judges recommended that the United States apologize to atomic-bomb survivors, pay damages to them and promise never to use nuclear weapons again.

Lennox Hinds, a U.S. professor specializing in international law who acted as a judge, said the bombings were the act of “an indiscriminate extermination of all forms of life” and that the targeted cities were like “guinea pigs” used in experiments to measure the impact of an atomic bombing.

Black Bush

With Bush‘s real-life, slightly muffled and demi-masticated “Shit” (mp3) making headlines, we would like to present an alternative view of the presidency. There’s a reason it’s called black humour. In the meantime, would someone please tell him to close his mouth when he’s chewing and swallow before speaking? I’m sure Tony Blair knows all about the benefits of American dentistry, and doesn’t need to conduct an inspection at the dinner table.

Oh, and as I noted on Gawker, Shrub can at least keep it down once he’s swallowed, a talent which famously escaped his father.

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition

It’s interesting what you can find just clicking randomly around YouTube. This little gem has fewer than five hundred views, which is a damn shame to anyone who likes a nice evisceration of complacent tyrants of a Sunday morning.

Sunday, Bloody Sunday, by George W. Bush

I bet this is actually the first time he’s been in proximity to this song. I bet additionally that the first person to play it in his presence gets two years, minimum.
