Equal Representation

I should have a bigger problem with the death penalty; but I don’t. My real problem with the death penalty is that I think it should be more evenly distributed.

When some one kills or rapes they get (in many cases) the death penalty. OK. Those criminals destroyed 3-5 people’s lives, including the victim and the close relatives that deal with the after effects of the crime.

Bernard Ebbers, Ken Lay, Bernard Madoff, Robert Allen Stanford and their ilk have destroyed hundreds of thousands of poor people’s lives by stealing pension and retirement money, liquidating savings and assests, and that doesn’t even include the problems they have helped create in the world’s current economy.

How about a little death penalty for them? Can I get an Amen!?

Nah, they are white and wear suits slap ‘em on the wrist and send them back to their Manhattan penthouse suite.

Enhance This

Michael Phelps was suspended (sort of) for three month because someone took a picture of him with a "marijuana pipe" in his mouth.

Most folks can't get off the couch for anything other than Doritos after smoking up and this guy wins 8 Olympic medals?

Sheesh, imagine if he had been using performance enhancing drugs instead.

Clean up after Yourself

I briefly had a roommate that was a total pain and a huge slob. He would come in from work trash the place and leave a trail of destruction in his wake. If I said anything to him about his mess, he would get completely pissed and walk out saying, "Fine, you don't like it!?, you clean it up!"

Sound familiar? I think he was a Republican too.
