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.

Law 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."
