  • of the corrupt, by the corrupt, & for the corrupt

    What's this about a representative government? Perhaps 165 tears ago! Since then it's been a corruption by the corrupt, for the most corrupt, and of the richest corruption. Democrat, republican, and independent are sheepskin disguises for the corruptees. The shrub is No. 2 banana. No. 1 banana is busy complaining that he can't hear the ...

  • Limits of Judiciary Power

    For my next trick, I will defend free speech without referring to the First Amendment. The English language has over ten thousand words.

  • Re: Justice in NO

    Look man, there are some good points in your article before that last paragraph.
