Good Eggs Drink Lemonade

From Linda Hamilton. Though we mostly hear about the bad eggs, most police are still good guys. This is from the Greenfield Reporter:
Police Log
Greenfield, Wed. May 9
6:31-A caller reported unruly youths walking in the roadway, selling lemonade on Federal Street. Officer sent, reported youths out of roadway on arrival. Advised and lemonade purchased.

From The Federalist:

An expert is somebody who is more than 50 miles from home, has no responsibility for implementing the advice he gives, and shows slides. -- Edwin Meese

Linda Hamilton - Slingshot - Linda is suing her first attorney and the trucker's attorney. She also tells us about J.A.I.L. 4 Judges, a legal way to get back at rogue judges.

Politechbot - Ohio journalist collective also hit with subpoena for logs - now the authoritarians want the web access logs of the Ohio Valley IMC. Can't say I'm surprised. There are a couple of posts from a guy who sounds genuinely homocidal.

Martin Bentham at The Telegraph - Fridge door opens for home deliveries - What'll they think of next? A refrigerator that can be filled with deliveries from the outside of the house while the owner is away. [lew]

Also from The Federalist:

Memo to Mr. Bush: The "Communist Manifesto" lists 10 points which Marx considered critical to the success of Communism. The last of these is "Public and gratis education of all children." Indeed, the Left's primary spawning grounds for its kind are government schools. Any effort to undermine the Left's government school "reeducation camps" will continue to be met with fierce resistance. It is time you recognize and respond to this threat by altogether eliminating the extra-constitutional Department of Education.

Commenting on gw's "Faith-Based Initiatives" plan, the Federalist has a good idea:

Memo to Mr. Bush: Rather than setting up another cadre of central government commissars, we suggest that you call for legislation which gives taxpayers the responsibility for selecting the faith-based charity they want to support, and gives them a tax credit for the amount of their support up to, say, $10,000.

DRCNet - Oppose John Walters Nomination - The Drug Reform Coordination Network asks you to send email to your senators opposing the nomination of John Walters as drug czar. I changed their suggested letter to the following:

Don't allow another lock-them-up-and-throw-away-the-key fascist into the office of America's drug czar. Make President Bush pick somebody more reasonable than John Walters.

Better yet, eliminate the ONDCP entirely, and the DEA while you're at it. The existence of both organizations is blatantly unconstitutional. Drugs are nowhere mentioned in the constitution. Hence, laws concerning them are entirely up to the states.
