Call it aggravated something or other--the politician knowingly attempted to provoke people to riot.... Let the politician sit in the can a few hours, then let him or her go. If the politician gets uppity, press charges and send it to the Grand Jury--a group of angry voters, who can give the politician more of a ride. If the politician doesn't negotiate a plea, it will go to trial, where he or she will have to face more angry voters in the jury. If the politician sues the Sheriff or the prosecutor, it will again have to go to a jury, and once again it will be a jury of angry voters, and the politicians will get more of a ride....<br /><br />They used to call it running 'em out of town on a rail. Let's call this "jury taxi" or " going for a ride with the jury."<br /><br />Somebody call Barney Frank a cab....<br /><br />(anyway, it would make a good story for The New Yorker....)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10438070.post-43457788373971002322009-09-07T17:17:26.746-05:002009-09-07T17:17:26.746-05:00Your two movie selections?

Lessons are being learned. I hope they came in time...LauraBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597941562529910169noreply@blogger.com
