As much as I like and even admire our justice system, sometimes I just want to take blunt objects and crack skulls open. In this particular case, I’d rather shatter some kneecaps:

But police said they weren’t stumped very long. On Thursday, officers pulled over the driver of a vehicle matching the description of a stolen one.

It wasn’t the stolen car, police said, but inside they found 19 parking placards.

A Temple Hills man, it turned out, had been selling the placards — which allow drivers to park near entrances and in some areas without feeding meters — for $50 apiece, said Cpl. Clinton Copeland, a police spokesman.

“People were using them to park, while [disabled] people, unfortunately, were being left out of luck,” Copeland said.

The kneecaps not just of the thief (other local news sites say there were two others involved in the thefts), but also, of the low-down scrum-sucking cockknobbers who were buying these placards. I mean, what kind of a slime shit ball do you have to be to use a handicapped space when you’ve got two perfectly good legs? Walk the extra distance!

This is why I’d like poetic justice: smash kneecaps, refuse to issue these newly disabled scumbags placards, and let them hobble from the parking garage to their destination. Serve ‘em right, it would.

However, since that would be considered extreme: when one of the stolen placards is being used, tow the vehicle.

Liz Cheney on CNN:

In an interview on Fox News, the daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney sharply criticized the new administration for agreeing to release photographs depicting alleged abuses at U.S. prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan during the Bush administration.

“I think it is really appalling that the administration is taking this step,” she said in the interview. “Clearly what they are doing is releasing images that show American military men and woman in a very negative light.”

Maybe Liz Cheney should stop to consider that it wasn’t President Obama who put American military men and women in the position to be portrayed in a negative light, it was her father. And maybe, before she runs her mouth, she should consider that people understand very well that these images are the direct result of a series of decisions made by the previous administration — why should a man who campaigned on “change” cover them up?

Because it portrays our military in a bad light? That was something to consider well before these photos were taken, not after.

I find it hard to believe that the Cheneys and their defenders don’t understand this.

It’s like: if someone I work with found out I was fudging my numbers, or stealing, or whatever, and then a whole bunch of people got mad at them for going public, or going to management, with tales of my misdeeds, instead of being mad at me for fudging my numbers or stealing or whatever.

Bullshit.
