I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Senate says yes to torture 60-36

Although there was never any doubt it's still disappointing. I guess torture is OK to a majority of the Senate. Thirty six Democrats voted no, less than voted no on Ashcroft. No breakdown yet but I'm sure Smokin Joe Lieberman was a yes vote. That Democrat neocon has to go. It's good to be a minority in the Bush administration, no matter how incompetent you might be if you kiss enough ass you'll do OK.

Update
Scott over at Poetic Leanings has the run down on the Democrats who approve torture and those who didn't even have the guts to show up.
    Approve Torture
  • Mary Landrieu - Louisiana

  • Joe Lieberman - Connecticut (Is he even a Democrat any longer?

  • Ben Nelson - Nebraska

  • Bill Nelson - Florida

  • Mark Pryor - Arkansas

  • Ken Salazar - Colorado


  • Gutless
  • Max Baucus - Montana

  • Kent Conrad - North Dakota

  • Daniel Inouye - Hawaii
