News and Opinions That Nobody Asked For
Remember Jose Padilla the Chicago “dirty bomber” -- they picked him up 5 years ago for thinking about maybe planning a possible dirty bomb attack plan, possibly? Turns out he wasn’t, but this case was always unsettling for me not because I think dirty radiological bombs are “no biggie”, but because no charges were actually ever made and no evidence was actually ever presented against the guy. The Padilla story would make the shortest ever episode of NBC’s Law & Order because they cut out the law part, and the order part too.
Padilla is a gang member, an unattractive loser and most likely a bad man, but shit, US Government, you can’t just suck someone up off the street for 5 years without pressing charges. Dude’s a citizen--even Jeffrey Dahmer got a trial and he fucking ate people.
Just an FYI: US Post Office is raising the cost to mail a letter today, from 39 cents to 41.
I think that totally sucks--but that’s just my 2 cents.
With the new fare increase, less and less people are going postal now—just not the way they intended.

Great post. "...and he ATE PEOPLE!" HA HA HA! True.
I would say our system is arbitrary, but that would be giving it too much credit. Our system favors the wealthy, the celebrity and the cannibal.
Cannibals get away with anything; Dahmer almost convinced a jury that the victims were asking for it by wearing Smokey Mesquite BBQ sauce.
