Before reading this, here's a warning. I'm going to sound cynical, it's a rant, and I'm writing this mostly to process the thoughts and the feelings. It's an opinion, an editorial, for the purpose of therapy. So this would be the place to stop if that doesn't sound like the kind of mood in which to spend the rest of the evening. Otherwise, read on and take note of the fact that there is a comment section, monitored by the author.

One of the most predictable things to ever happen in American politics happened last week. The most corrupt, crooked man to ever be elected and serve in the White House was indicted for the first of multiple crimes committed against the American people, because the Constitution says that's who, in theory anyway, are the power behind the laws of the land. He appeared somewhat intimidated, upset and looked perhaps a little frightened sitting there, through something that probably bored him to tears and to which he very likely didn't pay a whit of attention. But those couple of hours in Manhattan dominated the news cycle and provided him with hours upon hours of free publicity and helped him raise $14 million for his campaign to be re-elected as President of the United States.

Because he lives in a different America than the rest of us do. So does Clarence Thomas.

1. Agreed ...

An airman in the National Guard mishandled government documents and was arrested immediately this week. He's still in jail.
An ex-president mishandled government documents and he will probably be playing golf tomorrow. What's wrong with this picture???
