    In philosophy terms, "Justice" is often defined as fairness.

    So saying that the law should not include fairness is like saying that the like should not include justice.

    Which, of course, is batshit.

    So Sen. Crapo gets busted for DUI, pleads to DWI I believe and...

    is promoted to deputy whip by the new minority whip, Sen. Cornyn.

    Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.

    Apparently one of the reasons Armey left is that he had too much integrity for Freedomworks. No, seriously.

    Freedomworks was paying Glenn Beck fat stacks to plug them on his show, and Armey apparently thought that was a waste of money, apparently thoroughly misunderstanding the "you scratch my back I'll scratch yours" reality of modern conservative astroturfing.

    Gotta say Glenn Beck's found a decent hustle here. He charges a membership fee for granting customers the privilege of listening to him say things he's been paid to say.

    I'd like to get in on that, but it seems that the labor market is limited to horrible shameless charlatans.

    I'm two out of three on that, at best.

    And he's the deputy whip behind Cornyn...feel like there has to be some joke there, just can't quite digest it.
