DOJ Finally Starts Enforcing Laws – Too Bad They Are India’s And Not Ours **Updated** »

Oh, how I wish I was making this up. But I am not. Yes, the DOJ cannot be bothered to prosecute what one DOJ long-term attorney, J. Christian Adams, claimed to be the “easiest case” he had ever had.

“Waste Not, Want Not” »

The old Ben Franklin adage, is apparently one with which our government is unfamiliar. Just within the past few days, three major wasteful decisions have come to light.

Atlanta Higher Ups Have Found A Way To Get Passing Grades – Cheat, Cheat, And Cheat Some More »

The hammering outside (stucco guys putting up mesh) is matched only by the hammering in my head after reading the following article: “Investigation Into APS Cheating Finds Unethical Behavior Across Every Level“.

“Now Showing: Crazy, Crazy, Everywhere” (& Open Thread) »

That is a sign hanging up in our favorite beach restaurant.
