#2 I'm supposed to throw out the history of a man's life for misconduct he committed at age 69?

The 'esteem' judge failed to remember that Al Capone was only sent up on tax evasion as well. These people really need term limits.

#3 When you think about corrupt state government, where's the first place that comes to mind? For me, in a close race it's Jersey, followed closely by Louisiana with Massachusetts coming up on the outside...

#5 Jomock Platypus9662, having lived for years in two of those states (NJ, MA) you aren't far off. But, the other state in which I lived for a significant period probably edges out MA for 3rd.

The great state of OBAMAGASM (aka IL) is number 3 on my list behind NJ & LA.

#6 "suck the chrome off a trailer hitch" Now that doesn't make my leg tingle. I notice that she got off easier than he did. Any "community service" come into play here?

I'd be willing to bet "yes" on the trailer hitch thing.
