My Question for John Yoo

Former White House lawyer and author of the infamous "torture memo" has been pushing a very expansive theory of Presidential Powers. Not only can the President order torture, he can have civilians massacred. He can use nukes even if Congress says no.

My question for John Yoo is this: Given this expansive view of Presidential powers, is it within the President's power to receive a blow job from a women other than his wife, and then lie about that act later? Given his power to torture, massacre and nuke, this certainly falls within his scope, correct?

Doing the Deal

Looks like we just did a deal with North Korea on nukes. Basically we just bribed the crap of this poor, dangerous little County for them to stop their nuclear program. Which is all we could do. For six years the Bush administration acted tough and a little crazy in an effort to stare down NK on the nuke issue. But North Korea had the advantage of being actually crazy, so that was never going to work. North Korea starves its own people rather than open up to the world and war with North Korea is such a bad idea even Bush knows it.

So in the end Bush did what Clinton did: pay North Korea off. Only now North Korea has built nuclear weapons. Good job guys.
