Obama: 'We tortured some folks'
Obama has condemned those techniques as torture before, but his administration has not sought prosecution of possible offenders. The president said Friday that people should remember all the pressure put on national security teams after 9/11, and "it's important for us not to feel too sanctimonious in retrospect about the tough job that those folks had."

dying from that second owl article...
If it really were the onion the body of the article would further tip back and forth between describing the increasingly encouraging improvement of the owl entirely based on how much more gruesome the attacks get day by day.

hah okay if it's just a blog then that's not quite so egregious, but even so...
― Barry Gordy (Neil S), Monday, 4 August 2014 15:06 (nine years ago) link
I guess anyway it's a relatively new site? Wiki claims 2 million readers so maybe it's bigger than I thought. I think it's sort of a Huffington Post style site.
― 'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Monday, 4 August 2014 15:09 (nine years ago) link
I mean, whatever it is, that's the third time this week I have seen something just mind-bogglingly offensive and un-self-aware on the site, this one being by far the least egregious.

wow if that article is the least bad, I dread to think what other stuff it's coming up with

They republished (but almost immediately took down) a piece from a small long island jewish paper posing the "question" of genocide in Gaza. Then another piece appeared in which a blogger likened the Palestinians to the Amalekites (which can be read based on the bible as a coded way of saying they should be wiped out).
