Why do I keep writing these facts? It does not seem to do any good.

Because facts matter. Also because the internet has given us a voice. Otherwise I would be walking around here talking to my self and to the walls about this stuff.

I noted the brownie incident. hahaha

How many frat bros at Universities all over this nation are free today with sealed records and how many Blacks back in the Hood spent or spend time in prison today?

We know this.

My son as a long standing friendship with Blacks, but his main friend is rich and this rich guy is stopped all the frickin time up here in Minnesota, the land of equality and my son is never stopped for anything.

This is not an accident and neither is it an accident that most prisoners in this nation (2.5 mill?) are Black or Latino.

Why do I keep writing these facts? It does not seem to do any good.

Our President is beginning to step up and release prisoners but at a very minimal rate. Although some states are getting sick and tired of paying for our prison state. And so states release prisoners due to Federal Court decisions and their own budget commissions.

That's enough for now.

If you are not caught it did

If you are not caught it did not happen.

We all know that; which is why in Minnesota many businesses simply destroy all their files that are more than six years old (+1)

That rule applies to doctors and lawyers and accountants and corporations.

But the goddamn bankers were CAUGHT for chrissakes.

And they did not just walk away, but they pocketed billions of taxpayer dollars.

I guess, I just get mad and thank the Good Lord for Taibbi!

These drug laws are a real farce with their sentencing.

I have my bi-monthly quilt diary queued for Sunday at 8 PM your time at Kos. Guaranteed to put you to sleep. LOL. There has been some good stuff in the diaries lately over at Kos. Political junkies are powering up for the fall election.

In reply to Oh I had to add this. Dinesh,

I think this needs to be repeated:

The American Conservative’s Rod Dreher’s teary words deserve some elucidation:

I have no trouble believing that D’Souza may have been selectively prosecuted. But even if he was, that does not justify his knowingly breaking the law. Does this really have to be explained to conservatives, of all people? We can’t call for law and order, but carve out special exemptions for our political allies. This is what some on the establishment Right did for Cheney aide Scooter Libby when he was convicted for perjury. Joseph Bottum, for one, denounced conservatives who would not stand up for Libby as cowards.

The part that is really important here:

We can’t call for law and order, but carve out special exemptions for our political allies.

My personal beef: Speed limits. Don't call yourself a law and order person if you give a finger to the speed limit posted and drive 70 mph in a 60 mph zone. The law states the limit is 60. So do you be tailgaiting me when I drive 60 mph.

That is all.

Oh I had to add this. Dinesh,
