Things that don't matter, and things that matter a lot

10 Things I Hate About You is not too bad as teen movies go. I liked it. It appeared on the (women's) channel 'Oxygen' a few nights ago, thereby confirming my theory that cable TV is a scam

of epic proportions. The various channels play musical chairs with the movies and there is no need to pay extra for premium channels because eventually the rotation will bring your shows to the channels you have.
'Oxygen' channel has run out of serious "womyn" stuff. Now they play — when hard up — any movie that simply has a woman cast member. Just as the Sci-Fi Channel will play any movie not based in reality; the History Channel will play any movie that is not humorous, romantic or sci-fi based; and AMC will play anything, given enough years. Oh, and TBS will play any movie that Comedy Central has discarded after milking all the laughs!
But my thoughts today are not about the movie 10 Things ..., but about a line from the movie:"She hates you with the fire of a thousand suns."
That particular level of hatred is why the authors of the American Constitution included a prohibition against "cruel and unusual punishment." If not for that restriction people would end up devising special punishments for individuals based on how despised they are.
For example, I have spent hours devising a thousand-foot tall "Tree of Liberty," which would be like Pelican Bay prison, except that it would be planted on the White House lawn, and all of the cells would be 6-inch thick plexiglass balls. The balls would be hung on the Tree of Liberty like Christmas ornaments, and would be devoted to the incarceration of war criminals and treasonous, corrupt politicians... pretty much all of them, but some are more equal than others.
You see, what brings this up is the news about George W Bush's fondness for fart jokes. He likes cutting farts in front of his subordinates (alpha male strutting stuff). There is even a new "Farting Bush" doll.
I think the Left's reaction to news of Bush's love of fart humor is vastly overblown. His taste in humor is not that uncommon, and it is irrelevant in comparison to his actual war crimes, crimes against humanity, and looting and cronyism and criminal negligence.
I don't care if GW Bush bong-hits his farts. I do not care.
What I care about is impeachment, followed by a trip to The Hague and compensation to his victims. Nothing "cruel and unusual," just justice by the book. That's all.
