The mighty Freedonian has THREE stellar posts up right now.
First, he does a terrific job of covering our visit to MIFA last night to hear John Edwards speak more about defeating poverty than his own Presidential candidacy, and Rick also provide pictures, while Vibinc provides video links in the comments.
Then, he throws a giant FLAMING SPEAR into Kathryn Bowers' front yard, with a post that advises you that he is not exactly weeping over her plea acceptance. I want you to read it all, so I'm not even going to excerpt it, just click on the link. Keep it rolling, bro, that's good work, even if I'm a wee bit more sympathetic; I completely understand, though.
UPDATE: NOW he goes after David Vitter, and be forewarned, he has a picture up that could fry your retinas, but go there any way!
"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. ” — Franklin D. Roosevelt

This is only going to get worse...
Pesky and Kleinheider have noted that Kathryn Bowers may face more charges at her upcoming bribery trial this September, stemming from payoffs she is alleged to have received from a dental clinic operator trying to get state business.
Kathryn, you should have taken the plea bargain. The US Attorney's office is going to come after you with everything they can find, and if you farted crossways in public in 1973, they'll put that out, too.
The sad thing is that you had a solid legislative career with a record of achievement for your district; now, that is all going in the trashcan because of these charges. Look, I know legislators are woefully underpaid, but you knew what the salary was when you took office.
I'm really sorry, but you need to re-think a trial, because unless you're acquitted, you're going down for a lot of years, more than you might have left. I want nothing more than to be proven wrong and eat a barrelful of crow, but I'm not real hopeful.
