As…members of Gonzales’s own party are questioning his credibility, it’s once again left to the White House to defend Gonzales with a sentence that appears to actually be eating itself:

“He doesn’t recall having recollections about having deliberative discussions.” (Deputy White House Press Secretary Dana Perino)

That was a sentence so tortured, even the man who declared the Geneva Convention quaint wouldn’t allow it to be used on prisoners.

Also, you may recall jupi’s post about the New York City ban of the n-word. The recent Daily Show investigative report on this issue (by Larry Wilmore and John Oliver) is priceless.

This is soooo my favorite news story of the week:

In this article, a reverand attributes the decision to financial reasons, given that Disney can make an additional $1.5 million per year with a mere 1 commitment ceremony per week. (The average package goes for $28,000.) I don’t really buy that argument, because it would save Disney a lot of problems if it just left the issue alone. What do you think?
