Badtux the Snarky PenguinIn a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin. Religious fundamentalists are motivated by the sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere, is having fun -- and that this must be stopped. |
Tuesday, April 03, 2007Prison State USAIf current trends continue, by 2100 everybody in the United States will be a felon, with the exception of the President and former Presidents (who will of course pardon each other as a perk of the job). This will present some slight logistical problems. Such as, uhm, if everybody is a felon, who will guard the felons?But never fear, the State of Texas leads the way. Why, all you have to do is pay felons to guard the felons! That's sorta like the company hired to build a fence to keep out illegals hiring illegals to build the fence. Sorta a "fox guarding the henhouse". Huh. But that's the gret stet of Texas in a nutshell. As Molly Ivins put it, "All anyone needs to enjoy [Texas government] is a strong stomach and a complete insensitivity to the needs of the people. As long as you don’t think about what that peculiar body should be doing and what it actually is doing to the quality of life in Texas, then it’s all marvelous fun." Felons guarding felons. Marvelous fun. Uhm, okay. -- Badtux the former-Texan Penguin Labels: economy, politics, prison state USA, texas Posted by: BadTux / 4/03/2007 01:27:00 PMComments:Quis custodiet ipsos custodes.# posted by : 3/4/07 2:13 PM
Well, never accuse anyone of being smart, that's for sure.

Breathing should be made a capital offense.
Hiring felons makes perfect sense if you're a Texican politician. |

"Keep fighting for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce." -- Molly Ivins, 1944-2007
"The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."
