Musings & Sardonic Commentary on Politics, Religion, Culture & Native American Issues. Bringing you the finest in radioactive screeds since 2002! "The Local Crank" newspaper column is distributed by Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc.

Shakespeare got it all wrong; the first step to tyranny is not to kill all the lawyers, it's to destroy the jury system.
