The floggings will continue until morale improves

The U.S. Attorney for Western Michigan got sacked this week, apparently one of eight to be ousted by the Bush administration for not toeing the party line. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but isn't it sad when even federal judges are ascribing bad motives to these clowns?

And, 50 years later, the federal district court in Arkansas released the Little Rock School District from federal supervision in the long-running school desegregation case. Interesting--the problem is far from solved, but I'm sure the odds of the 101st Airborne coming back to town anytime soon are slim.
