Not a Good News Day
Okay, one more time - The. Right. Wing. Is. A. Bunch. Of. Hypocrites.
Here, for instance, is a guy who calls himself a conservative. Remember when that used to mean a man who said American power was too centralized? The Presidency had become an imperial office, and Congress ought to act independently? Not anymore - now that there's a right-winger in the White House, being a conservative means being the President's lap dog.
In other news, remember how long Michael Jackson's trial took, and how the media let that circus drool all over the first half-hour of the nightly news? Don't you think this trial was a little more important? Here's a guy who apparently masterminded three horrible Mississippi deaths forty-odd years ago, and the prosecution somehow couldn't convince a group of jurors that he was guilty of anything more than manslaughter. I'm glad he's being put away, oxygen tank and all, but can't we do better than that?
