11. Probation? Six months, with credit for time served? These are the sentences I'm seeing.

When the words "sentenced to X number of years in Federal custody" start showing up, I'll soften my tone.

I've been feeling since this all went down that hardly any of them will serve significant time. In fact, I would not be the least bit surprised if they start showing up on a television network as guests.

9. When I was a kid, our family vacations included

a trip to Glacier Park, a trip to the Grand Tetons, one to Florida, and a number of shorter ones around Minnesota and Wisconsin. Dad always took a lot of 35mm slides, and when we got home and after he got the slides back we'd have a slide show, during which the projector would always jam and Dad would always cuss at it. But we never went to D.C. and we never were able to participate in an attempt to overthrow the government. What a disappointment! The post-vacation slide show would have been epic.
