Sensitive Subject: Terrorist Endorsement of McCain?

So... you might have paid attention a few weeks ago, when I alleged that electing McCain would lead to the end of the American Empire.

Evidently... though they don't contemplate Europe or Latin America, as I have, they've pointed to the same economic failure that is the current U.S. economy. They're alleged terrorists, and they support McCain, relying on him to support Bush's policies in the Middle East, which are bankrupting the U.S., creating a market for recruitment, and not at all helping out Joe-sixpack/plumber/hairstylist/interior decorator/beerswiller or whatever.

This is not the first case of my seeming clairvoyance... my professional blogging, at D'Alliance, had a piece I wrote specifically about a Ventura County Star story that alleged Prop 36 was leading to an increase in the crime rate. Instead, I pointed out, there was an increase in arrest rate, which just indicates shifting law enforcement priorities. My contention was that Prop 36 was working, but that the cops were just arresting more people as a result (probably because they figured if they arrested more people, they could keep prison numbers high, and they're right on the money with that).

Not one day later, USA Today featured a Drug Court Judge, stating Drug Courts Don't Work because they widen the net of arrests, siphoning more people into prison, rather than less. This is because cops go after more and more petty dealers and junkies, since it's easy pickings, and makes their numbers look good.

So, all 4 of you, you now have 2 examples of the incredible, not-quite-edible predictive powers of my rants and musings. Be afraid, be very afraid!
