Soft Core, Sexual Assault Protected by Court

This is one of those stories that makes me immediately think of Glenn Beck and his advice that one wrap their head in duct tape before exposure as it will make the pieces of one’s head easier to find after it explodes. What’s the deal with Oklahoma? First Paul Jacob and now this? […]

Free the Oklahoma 3!!

Blue Collar Muse @ March 24, 2008 # 8 Comments

One of our most cherished rights is to petition our government. If there’s a problem, we want our representatives to know so they can fix it. Imagine, however, if a top law enforcement official denied this right to citizens. Imagine he arrested them, threatening them with fines and imprisonment. Imagine it’s being driven by partisan […]
