"Sandusky found guilty."
Rejoice not in the vanquished, nor cheer the righteous. Weep only for the weak, the vulnerable, the men left wanting. Strive to make ours a better society. Be humble for the victims.
Remember Joe's broken heart. He suffered, in a way, for those who put their reputations ahead of the welfare of children.

Being the Enemy
“We have met the enemy, and he is us.”*

I am…gasp…a public
employee.
In circles both big and small within the conservative
movement I have become anathema, a pariah, a parasitic creature both slovenly
and voracious. I work a “non-punishing schedule” (Ann Coulter),
am “overpaid” (The
Wall Street Journal) and receive lavish, nearly gluttonous fringe benefits
(Powerline). Visit the comments section of nearly any national conservative
blog, offer a suggestion that public employee pay is not our biggest problem and
wait to be pummeled. A guy from Minnesota who has “started a number of
businesses” informed me that government was “way too big” and should be trimmed
by firing significant portions of the inept workforce.
