Hold the Anchovies...

So here's a question for ya...if our prisons aren't good enough to house prisoners from Guantanamo then...are they good enough to house the murderers, rapists and former corporate CEOs in them now?

We go on and on about the unconcionable way in which we have incarcerated hundreds of, so-called, "enemy combatants" and when the Administration decides to, finally, close the prison, we don't want to bring the prisoners here.

Their home countries don't want them and we don't think our prison system is robust enough to do the job.

Senator Nimby and Congressman Vascillator have whined and now President Obama has granted their wish...but...now, they really don't want the favor...!

You have got to be kidding me...

But the situation really lacks the kind of humor Congress usually deserves. We seem to be governed by a bunch of spineless political and social climbers concerned with only one thing...power and money and being reelected (ok, three things.)

No courage there...no heroes where, once, that's all we had...Revere, Paine, Hawthorne, Henry, Washington, Jefferson, Franklin...DC is simply a place where gasbags pontificate and deliver almost nothing.

Close Guantanamo...uphold the rule of law...renounce torture...

or...as Spike Lee, famously, said...

"Do the Right Thing."

Or, just get a slice at Sal's Famous and shut up...!
