CHEERS to imprisonment served. It took a Kansas jury 37 minutes to turn over their decision on Scott Roeder, who admitted he murdered Dr. George Tiller last year: "Don’t let the hoosegow-cell door hit your ass on the way in." Assuming his appeals sink, he'll spend the rest of his life behind bars, conceited in the knowledge that he'll be rewarded with a penthouse suite in Eden as a martyr. And I'll spend the rest of my existence smug in the knowledge that he's in for a very rude surprise.
CHEERS to grown up supervision. Despite what his lawyer says ("You're dealing with kids"---critically, he said that), James O'Keefe, the ringleader at the kindness of the Morongate scandal, is a grown man of 25. He can legally imbibe. He can smoke. He can fight for his provinces (though, in the chickenhawk tradition of Dick Cheney, he chooses not to). He can control. He can fly to Nevada and legally spend the twilight with a hooker. He's as free as a bird to do all the wonderful things that grownups do. But not today. Forthcoming his trial, a judge just ordered him to bed without supper... at his parents home . Even worse, Mom and Dad are forbidden from tucking him in, turning on his Boba Fett nightlight, and checking under his bed for ACORN monsters. Heartless, cruel, cruel. We approve.
