catching up with panhandle truth squad, may 2004

This post is the first in a Panhandle Truth Squad ongoing series. To celebrate our first anniversary and to welcome our influx of new readers over the past two days, we are compiling some of our "Greatest Posts" by month. Join us now in our journey back to May, 2004: a month when the Emperor W finally told the truth, gay people were allowed to marry in Massacusetts, and Republicans thought torture was a pretty darn good idea. We agreed with the Republicans in certain isolated cases— and immediately began torturing Dave Henry.
