Double Standard

If Harry Whittingham dies from injuries related to his accident can Dick Cheney be tried for involuntary manslaughter?

No.

But if the same man were shot in the same way by any other person, the answer would be yes. Expecially if that person was of another ethnic catagory. Or of another economic catagory, political affiliation, social strata…

The divide between the worlds of the “haves” and the “have-nots” just got a little clearer.

The Sorry State

Via King of Zembla, an explanation of why America will not get to impeach the warmonger. I support the notion, and add whatever voice I posess to the throng, but never in my heart would I believe it possible to use the constitution to take down this god-awful president.

To do to the Liar-in-Chief what the republicans did to Clinton would be justice. Don’t expect any of that in the near future. Whil both houses, and the supreme court owned by the war party, justice is weeping behind her blindfold.

We should weep as well.
