According to Fox 6 Now and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel online, the man who defaced two Wisconsin recall petitions last weekend has been arrested and charged with two felony charges of "Election fraud - falsifying or destroying nomination papers, recall petitions, etc."

Good news, yes?

Over the fold, meet Jeff Karnitz...

As nitpicker draws our attention to today, this last week has provided us with quite an education about the true hierarchy of justice in the modern corporatocracy that is the United States of America.

A quick perusal of recent news stories offers us a wide range of examples of the systematic injustice our so-called "justice system" deals out.

Let's climb together up the pyramid of American injustice...

A friend writes:

In a discussion with a friend concerning the republicans and their lack of response to the oil in the gulf problem except to get more and more involved with bp: a friend is letting me have it as though it is my problem that obama has not responded the way she wants to because she is in florida. So I mentioned the lack of response by the republicans and that obama is trying but gets stopped [...] and that obama has done stuff, and all of that. What is your take on all of this? thanks

There is a myth that the government has secret magic technologies available that would clean this oil mess up, but the fact is that nobody does. Why? Because Republicans have consistently made sure that we don't require oil companies to develop such technologies before drilling oil wells. The only way to stop oil from leaking from oil wells is to prevent it from happening, and for 30 years, Republicans have consistently prevented government regulatory agencies from doing that, as well.

The Democratic Leadership in Congress is a bunch of spineless wimps, and must be replaced en masse with people like Bernie Sanders, Al Franken, Anthony Weiner and Alan Grayson. Join me over the jump to read what a pissed-off Senate staffer has to say about them. He's only saying what many of us already knew.

First reported by Al Jazeera, and now by NPR, Reuters, and other news outlets -- Khaleid Sheikh Mohammed and four other 9/11 suspects have asked to plead unconditionally guilty, having made the decision the day Barack Obama was elected.

Some say that this is the luck of O'Bama striking once again -- but there are some serious pitfalls ahead.

Last year, the corrupt Republicans in the Florida Legislature, faced with a history of long lines and delays in 2006 early voting (where voting places were authorized to stay open as long as 12 hours per day), passed laws limiting early voting hours to no more than 8 hours per day, and reducing the number of early voting locations. Having already eliminated paperless voting, they wanted to prevent Democrats from using early voting as a means to increase their numbers among elected officials.

Today Charlie Crist undid some of that.

Thom Hartmann interviewed Jerome Corsi today to start off the second hour of his radio show, and it was very entertaining -- I want to make sure folks here don't miss it.

Despite his long history of havig right-wingers on as guests -- so he can shoot down their arguments, providing examples for the listener -- this interview was only the second time a right-winger has hung up on him; the first time being when he asked Dick Morris about "toe-sucking prostitutes".

Just posted today on WikiLeaks is a memo purportedly from Steven Schmidt, McCain's senior campaign advisor, laying out a campaign to manipulate angry white female Clinton supporters over 40 to express their anger by voting for McCain.

In time-honored Wikileaks style, the pros and cons of the memo are laid out for discussion. Pros and cons, and the full text of the memo, are overleaf.

Bill Burton is playing into Hillary Clinton's hands in Michigan, making it look as though Barack Obama is blocking a re-do of the primary there.

It's stupid and it's unnecessary; and it may end up giving Hillary the justification among superdelegates she needs to take the nomination away from Obama.

Here's my reasoning...

In "The Professional," Fred Kaplan's extended New York Times Magazine profile of Defense Secretary Robert "I Am Not Now Nor Have I Ever Been Donald Rumsfeld" Gates today, the editors bury on page 96 what is to me the most telling anecdote in the story.

It won't fit in the intro, so join me overleaf to find this revelation.

In 1973, the disastrous Vietnam war was winding down, we were deep in the investigation toward impeachment of Richard Nixon, and Americans were suffering the recession triggered by our first oil shock, which was itself a response to Nixon's policy of unqualified support for Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

That summer, I graduated from high school, which is supposed to be a happy and optimistic event, into an ominously growing world of shit.

In the midst of this gloom, Paul Simon released his second solo album, There Goes Rhymin' Simon. For me, for everyone, that album arrived as a light in the darkness. Top 40 radio loved Kodachrome and progressive rock radio loved Loves Me Like A Rock and I loved them too, and I played the album over and over; but as a student of classical music, I especially loved American Tune, inspired by a melody in Bach's St. Matthews' Passion. Every time I heard that song, it lifted me up.

Saturday, Curtis Stigers' live performance of it made me cry.

Grab a copy of Stigers' performance and a tissue and join me overleaf.
