Still, pressing license plates may beat working insane hours in a donut factory somewhere, at sub-minimum wage, no medical benefits, no union protections and subject to deportation if the INS ever raid.

You’re right watajob, some country indeed. But it has had its shining moments, and Professor Turley is quite correct, it will have them again.

Ludwig III, Duke of Bavaria (1229-1294) was rumored to have wiped out an entire town with a single Bavarian Creme doughnut and espresso.

They attempt to sentence this guy to and he does more, time than Scooter? And, the prosecutor sees no problem with this! Even if it is an “assault” and not just shoplifting, 30 years?! OK. In review: whistle in(out?) a covert CIA operative, lie about it, (to congress, no less), and then attempt to subvert the investigative process, you get less than 3 years, receive a presidential commutation, and walk. Pinch a 52 cent Bavarian Creme, shove the store clerk out of your way and they want you to press license plates for the next 3 decades. Good country, this America.
