forget the high road or being better than one’s enemies, just concentrate on being an even bigger asshole and escalating things.

On Innocent People Pleading Guilty
Why Innocent People Plead Guilty
The American injustice system: expensive and evil.
Three Years on Rikers Without Trial
A boy was accused of taking a backpack. The courts took the next three years of his life.
The American Injustice system: racist, expensive and wrong.
Grand Jury System
A disturbing glimpse into the shrouded world of the Texas grand jury system
Systematic abuse of the system, it’s the American way!
West Virginia man calls 911 for chest pains, deputy hits him and knocks him down
West Virginia man calls 911 for chest pains, and deputy hits him and knocks him down
I don’t give a shit if the man in question had been convicted of every offense in the book. It doesn’t make the cop less guilty of assault. Forget suspension. He needs to be fired and charged.
Conviction Thrown Out For Alleged Cop Killer
Conviction Thrown Out For Alleged Cop Killer, “Misplaced” Evidence was Found in Cop’s Garage
The prosecution had requested the phone record and apparently after seeing that it backed up Brown’s alibi, failed to submit it as evidence. …Luckily the evidence was found before this man was killed by the very state that promised him “justice.”
sigh….
The Democrats’ Southern Problem Reaches a New Depth
The Democrats’ Southern Problem Reaches a New Depth
What a complete waste of ink. Take an interesting issue and then pivot into make-believe land….
“The inability of Southern Democrats to run well ahead of a deeply unpopular Mr. Obama raises questions about how an increasingly urban and culturally liberal national Democratic Party can compete in the staunchly conservative South. It raises serious doubts about whether a future Democratic presidential candidate, like Hillary Clinton, can count on faring better among Southern white voters than President Obama, as many political analysts have assumed she might.”
There are so many things wrong with the author’s premise I hardly know where to start. Oh, here’s one… all Presidents lose seats in the midterms. Every. Single. One.
I find it hard to believe that the author really is this clueless.

Who the hell is this idiot. 1st 1/2 great, then waddles over into puddles what seems like a misguided attempt at equating malapropisms and then just into utter nonsense dressed up in phrasing the author got at a New Yorker tag sale.
Sid Vicious might have been able to vote, but not on this side of the fucking pond.

Food Culture
Shut Up and Eat – A foodie repents.
Maybe these sentiments wouldn’t strike a chord in Ukraine or Liberia or the territories under the control of the Islamic State, but there’s a moving, warming, generous idea here—that by taking loving care when we purchase summer corn, heirloom tomatoes, organically fed and outdoor-reared chicken, we’re doing something that’s charged with political significance. With these choices, the thought is that we’re doing our humble little bit to save the world. We’re doing something that “matters at every level.”
I’m thrilled by this notion, and yet I find that I can’t submit to it. …If these tiny acts of consumer choice are the most meaningful actions in our lives, perhaps we aren’t thinking and acting on a sufficiently big scale. Imagine that you die and go to Heaven and stand in front of a jury made up of Thomas Jefferson, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Your task would be to compose yourself, look them in the eye, and say, “I was all about fresh, local, and seasonal.”
….I don’t think my choices are going to change or save the world, but this is how I prefer to cook and eat.

A great – if undeveloped in this article – thesis for a piece about the man.
