It was only after '86 that the number of blacks surpassed the number of whites in prison for the first time, and many of the offenders who were picked up that year are still locked up.

Richard Nixon formally declared America's war on drugs 40 years ago, but the 1986 law was the first significant piece of legislation related to it. To mark the 25th anniversary of the tragedy that led to the drug war as we now know it, we spoke with Eric Sterling, who served as counsel to the House committee that drafted the '86 law. Now president of the Criminal Justice Policy Foundation, he discussed the legislative frenzy that followed Bias' death and its consequences, and what might have been if Bias had lived.

This is a fine little summary giving one big reason that this nation has as many prisoner/slaves as China; and we have a nation one quarter the size in population of China!

And here comes that lover of liberty Neil Boortz (sounds like an ale or some smelly soup doesn't it?) wants not only more people in prison but more folks DEAD!

BOORTZ: We got too damn many urban thugs, yo, ruining the quality of life for everybody. And I'll tell you what it's gonna take. You people, you are - you need to have a gun. You need to have training. You need to know how to use that gun. You need to get a permit to carry that gun. And you do in fact need to carry that gun and we need to see some dead thugs littering the landscape in Atlanta.

I dunno, if you have time you have to listen to Boortz defense.

There is no defense. I mean the guy wants you all to go out and kill Negroes with your guns. hahahaha

It is not supposed to be funny, but damn, I mean folks in '51 would not have thought MASH that funny. hahahahah

The King of Ales says that his words were taken out of context.

I mean the guy is playing rap music, calling for vigelanties to grab their guns, go onto the streets of Atlanta and start killin 'thugs'. In his own words:

YO!

xxxxxxxxxx

But I am more in the mood for levity to day.

I love a funny story and I am sick and tired hearing about Weiner's weinnie.

Don't you?

John McGee, a four-term Republican state senator from Idaho, was arrested early Sunday morning on charges of grand theft and for driving under the influence.

KTVB-TV first reported McGee's arrest:

According to Sgt. Carlos De Leon with the Ada County Sheriff, McGee began drinking at a Boise golf course at about 10 p.m. Saturday. McGee left the clubhouse just before 3 a.m. and came upon a Ford Excursion with the keys inside and a 20-foot travel trailer attached in the area near the Muir Woods Subdivision in southwest Boise. McGee drove off in the vehicle, which had the keys inside.

McGee tried to turn the vehicle and trailer around in a long driveway on Knapp Place near Victory Road. The Excursion and travel trailer ended up jack-knifed in the driveway.

According to IdahoStatesman.com, the senator then exited the Excursion and walked up and down the street several times only to get back in the SUV and fall asleep. Two kids who were in the house where the Excursion got stuck called the police.

McGee, whose blood alcohol level was .15, allegedly told authorities he was on his way to Jackpot, Nev., a city about 180 miles southeast of Boise that's known for gaming.

At Fox we are given McGee's side of things:

"He is embarrassed by this matter. He has never been in this situation before, but he has great confidence in the criminal justice system," said attorney Scott McKay, who met with McGee on Sunday. "With the love and support of his family, he will handle this matter responsibly," McKay said in a statement.

Yeah and with the help of God, Christianity and Republicans Mcgee might actually end up in Texas!--Wait, I have a new Country-Western song:

On my way to Jackpot Nevada, I took a wrong turn toward Texas!
