One thing I have said since the O.J. trial is that the justice system in this country discriminates based on color. I'm not talking black and white, though. I think it discriminates based on the color GREEN!! The more money a person has, the less justice they get.

To better prove my point read this article: Corporate Crime Without Shame. So, exactly how will they pay their debt to society in the future? Take the Worldcom case for example: $750M Worldcom Settlement OK'd. Steal $11 billiion, pay a $750 million fine. If my math is correct, that is not quite a 7% fine. Not a bad deal. The only difference is that Worldcom also had to pay with its reputation and the corporate officers' names were publicized as well. As the article above states, they will now be able to avoid this altogether by settling these cases before charges are even filed! Is that justice or what?

For all your Texas Democrats news, I have now linked The Burnt Orange Report.

This might be redundant. I've been over this before. But this lady writes some of the best editorials I have read. 16 Words and 28 Pages. It is a very good indictment, and the links are great!

The Washington Post asks, "Can Mr. Bush come out and play?" Meet The Press.

The state of the Republicans in Congress: The Republican House of cards.

Here's one on the Neocons, Pax Americana and (ahem) "Benevolent Global Hegemony"-- and the problems with them (kinda long): Are Neocons cooking their own goose?

Oh yeah, Paul Krugman, You Say Tomato.
