PANAMA CITY, Panama -

President Bush vigorously defended U.S. interrogation practices in the war on terror Monday and lobbied against a congressional drive to outlaw torture.

"There's an enemy that lurks and plots and plans and wants to hurt America again," Bush said. "So you bet we will aggressively pursue them but we will do so under the law."

He declared, "We do not torture."

4. "Under the law" ? What law Chimpy? Not the Geneva Conventions?
According to our Constitution, which Chimp likes to ignore, the treaties that we have signed have equal standing with any US laws.

12. George tortured frogs by exploding them with firecrackers.
He tortured his brothers by shooting at them with a bb gun. He tortured his fraternity pledges - his frat practiced branding. He really doesn't see anything wrong with torture. And yet he will cause an international incident if he is inconvenienced by being asked to stay up past his bedtime.

13. It's fuckers like this that give good Fraternities a bad name.
We never hazed our pledges. We never did anything like that.

What is a Frat: A group of assholes who make Fraternities look bad.

Professor shares a laugh with 'Doonesbury' cartoonist

By Jennifer McNulty

It's a fair bet that nobody got as big a kick out of Garry Trudeau's recent "Doonesbury" strips as sociology's Dane Archer.

The strips, which can be viewed on the Web at dke.org/doonesbury.html, called attention to a controversy that rocked the campus of Yale University in 1967, when an exposé in the student newspaper revealed a particularly heinous hazing practice taking place at the local chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon (DKE) fraternity. Under the leadership of George W. Bush Jr., who was president of the fraternity, members branded the backsides of initiates with hot irons, scarring pledges with small deltas, the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet.

Archer, as coeditor of the Yale Daily News' weekly magazine at the time, ran a lengthy article about the practice with a front-page photo of an initiate's rear. ("Forgive me for that," he quips today. "I was young.") Trudeau, who was a Yale student at the time, reproduced the photo in his cartoon strip on September 21.

For seven days, Trudeau featured his character Roland Hedley, "chief portal correspondent" for yap.com, pursuing the Texas governor to find out whether Bush had "suffered what he was dishing out."

11. Here's what I see:
Picture #1: I wonder if that person's one of them queers I hate so much.

Picture #2: It's true. . .cocaine so make it smaller. Damn you Denis Leary!

Picture #3: What? I can't understand you? Repeat after you: I Am Sofa King We Todd Ed? Now was it fast???

Picture #4: You don't understand? You're misunderestimating me? I'll translate my English into Louder English!

Picture #5: Why can't I get this thing in my ear? Karl, remind me to have Rumsfeld suicide the maker of this ear piece thingie.

Picture #6: Maybe if I shoot daggers at you, you'll get scared and ask something I can answer!

to live comfortably down on his pig farm for a long time.
