Ain't that Sweet?
Feb. 13th, 2006 08:40 pmFunny, how two news stories can show completely unrelated items, and yet really help show how absolutely insane life is these days.
First off (because I stumbled across it in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blackbyrd2's journal *after* I read the other one,) is this bit about a kid and some powdered sugar, and the felony charges that resulted.
Next up, this NY Times article (requires registration) about how the White House knew about the levee's breach before the admitted to knowing about it - and without doing anything about it.
On the one hand, a 12 year old is a criminal because of a basic staple ingredient, and on the other, the leader of a country ignores critical information that allows his people to come to harm.
It will be interesting to see if the punishments fit the crimes. Well, it would be interesting, if I thought they had any chance in hell of anything remotely resembling justice.
Sigh.
