Starr System

Speaking of Ken Starr (remember him?) there was another piece in the paper this morning that interested me. It seems that state prosecutors are notoriously underpaid. Thus, many of them have to take second jobs (the paper mentioned one who was a dance instructor, another who worked for a funeral home) just to make ends meet.

Now, this is significant, for you will recall that state prosecutors are the people responsible for convicting murderers and rapists. But, them, we don’t pay.

Meanwhile, how many million dollars was it that Ken Starr blew through in an attempt to prove there was a stain on a blue dress . . .?

So, I guess . . . when the GOP talks about “law and order” . . . it means defending Dacron everywhere.
