Bexar County Public Policy: Americans; so ugly---why do “they” hate us? (whine, whine) Gee, I wonder….

It’s not easy being an over the top sovereign nation, preemptive (they might be thinking of invading us, or thinking about conspiring to do so sometime in the future, or about doing lunch) invading empire. Really.

Ever wonder what the compassionate conservative religiosity does in his or her spare time? See the following:

Top cover big time---who is this Teflon exterminator’s sponsor? I’ve seen this type of condition over and over both in the military and in civil sector…the fair-haired dirtbag

Justice DeLayed, Again (And Again)

Melanie Sloan, the executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), responds to the news:

It’s a sad day for America when one of the most corrupt members to ever walk the halls of Congress gets a free pass. As we continue the work of building a Washington that is worthy of the American people, the Justice Department’s decision not to prosecute Mr. DeLay for his actions sends exactly the wrong message to current and future members. The fact that Jack Abramoff and Bob Ney (R-OH) are the only two people who went to prison for one of the worst corruption scandals in congressional history is shocking. The Hammer belongs in the slammer. Mr. DeLay still has crimes to answer for in Texas—generally not considered the best place to be a criminal defendant.

Aging inmates straining U.S. prison system

CONNELL, Wash. – Curtis Ballard rides a motorized wheelchair around his prison ward, which happens to be the new assisted living unit — a place of many windows and no visible steel bars — at Washington's Coyote Ridge Corrections Center.

A stroke left Ballard unable to walk. He's also had a heart attack and he underwent a procedure to remove skin cancer from his neck. At 77, he's been in prison since 1993 for murder. He has 14 years left on his sentence.

Dispatches from the Border Wall: McAllen

McAllen -- This McAllen gun store isn't subtle in its marketing. A few months ago these red and black billboards popped up all over the Rio Grande Valley. The gun shop called Resilient Defense Systems sells fully automatic assault rifles and machine guns.
