soapbox

First, a triple-shot of holy-crap-has-mlb-gone-in-the-crapper. Selig denies he should share in the blame, the Players Union is clueless, etc.

All of this, however, pales in comparison to the story out of Luzerne County, PA, where a judge and a colleague plead guilty to fraud and for taking more than $2.6 million in kickbacks to send ~ 750 teenagers to two privately run youth detention centers. That’s some seriously sick shit. And the sad part is, I’m not surprised. Our ‘criminal injustice’ system is so far out of whack, so far into the “for-profit” business, it’s not funny.
