Independence Day

Happy Birthday America, I hope you get back the rule of law sometime soon.

As usual, Mark Morford sums it up nicely:

You know who's now done more jail time that Scooter Libby? Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton has now accomplished more in the eyes of the law to pay her debt to society than the VP's former chief of staff ever will for assisting BushCo in corrupting the soul of the goddamn nation. Isn't that cute? Cute enough to cause sharp stabbing pain in your abdomen requiring great amounts of scotch and marijuana to anesthetize? You bet it is.

I really hope this is the straw that breaks the camel's back. The thing that wakes up the other half of the USA to what's been going on.
