Every day I forget the book
Aug. 25th, 2006 03:23 pmOkay, here's a warning:
I forgot my book today ("Misquoting Jesus" by Ehrman, which is proving in only the first chapter to already be a fascinating read) and so y'all are responsible for entertaining me tonight.
If you can't be entertaining then just go and ask me a question on the previous post or send me links to interesting articles (I've got one myself to post tonight) or send me provocative pictures of you or something.
Also, somebody go to www.kittensofdarkness.net and tell me how effin' cool it is--something about the code breaks my browser and I can't actually look at it from work.

Don't you fucking know what you are?

Yeah. Not so much. From the Daily Commie Pinko Subversive AntiAmerican Rag:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2006/08/24/national/a085614D59.DTL&hw=kentucky+governor&sn=001&sc=1000
Kentucky Governor admits that 'the evidence strongly indicates wrongdoing by his administration' but then says he didn't have anything to do with it and gives *every* *single* *other* *person* in his administration a pardon in case they might have done anything wrong. And then he and the Attourney General cut a deal which involves zero punishment for him and a dropping of all charges. Charges were dropped by the judge 'With Prejudice' which apparently means that they can't be raised again later. That way he can continue to run for re-election 'without the specter of criminal charges hanging over him'. Because GOD KNOWS we wouldn't want anybody to have to live through that hell.
Who the hell thinks this is an okay thing? I'm gobsmacked.
Quote from the article:
Under the settlement agreement, four Fletcher appointees to the state Personnel Board will have to resign to avoid any appearance of a conflict in future cases. The judge stressed that, "In no way is this action taken in response to any conduct related to their service, which is commendable."
So the only people being punished here are people who we are assured did absolutely nothing wrong and were doing a heckuva job.
