People,

I'm back! Wooooo.

This weekend was a trip, literally and figuratively. However, I am swamped with work right now and unfortunately will have to put off telling it in all its ugly glory until tomorrow. Until then I will entertain you with a classic example of one of my pithy observations.

Last week the Attorney General of Wisconsin was arrested for drunk driving. Maybe I'm cynical, but if I were a resident of Wisconsin this would cause me to completely lose faith in my judicial representatives. I mean, how bad of an Attorney general are you if a) you're stupid enough to drink and drive while ignoring both the potential consequences and the fact that you obviously have the means to get a cab and (almost more importantly) b) you can't get yourself out of a DUI ticket? I mean, you're the Attorney General for Christ's sake! You can't get that smudge on your record erased and kept under wraps? To me that means no one in the police force respects you very much and/or wants to help you keep your name clean.

In my humble opinion a+b=short tenure for the AG.

(Someday, when I have a little more time, I would like to explore the sad state of American politics which makes me feel like a public official who can't cause corruption in others is ineffective, but it'll have to wait.)
