K.O. tells us that Number 43 last night admitted “yeah, we waterboarded, and we’d do it again…to save lives,” implying that he knows doing it didn’t save any life at all, and probably cost more than just a few…

…and I thought I’d include this as a tribute to Sir Paul for his little “library” jab here at Obama’s predecessor, which of course has inspired wingnut harrumphing (moving a bit slower and not quite hitting the high notes he used to, but still rocking out big time – I’d like to tell you I think of this song every time I concoct one of these blog posts, and I wish it were true).
