the day in lessons

There were many lessons learned today, by a host of different folks.

Mayor Bloomberg learned that you can win them all, but to do so, you have to change the rules of the game, and live with perpetual disdain from even your supporters.

Corzine learned that it doesn't pay to make fun of fat people, especially when you are an unpopular governor in a state full of angry fat people.

Mainers learned that putting human rights up for a vote rarely protects them. Or rather, never protects them. Fuck you, Maine. Pass the joint and kick a gay guy in the teeth. Why not?

Cleveland learned that when a rapist neighbor's house reeks of rotting human flesh, the cause may in fact be 10 decomposing bodies, and not plumbing problems at the candy factory. Good work, Cleveland.

All in all, a pretty average day.

One should never expect the majority to protect the rights of a minority. This is one of the reason we live in a representative democracy - to protect us from mob rule.
