Note from Mike Palecek
By Mike Palecek
Now,
theres one thing you might have noticed I dont complain about:
politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they
suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from?
They
dont fall out of the sky. They dont pass through a membrane from
another reality. They come from American parents and American families,
American homes, American schools, American churches, American
businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American
citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to
offer. Its what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out.
If you
have selfish, ignorant citizens, youre going to get selfish, ignorant
leaders. Term limits aint going to do any good; youre just going to end
up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans.
So,
maybe, maybe, maybe, its not the politicians who suck. Maybe something
else sucks around here like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. Theres
a nice campaign slogan for somebody: The Public Sucks.

School Dean Calls Conference to Plan Bush War Crimes Prosecution 17 Jun
2008 The dean of Massachusetts School of Law at Andover is planning a
September conference to map out war crimes prosecutions, and the
targets are President Bush and other administration officials. The
dean, Lawrence Velvel, says in a statement that”plans will be laid and
necessary organizational structures set up, to pursue the guilty as
long as necessary and, if need be, to the ends of the Earth.” Other
possible defendants, he said, include federal judges and John Yoo, the
former Justice Department official who wrote one of the so-called
torture memos. “We must insist on appropriate punishments,” he
continued, “including, if guilt is found, the hangings visited upon top
German and Japanese war criminals in the 1940s.”
