Just another bang up case for the capeless crusader of justice. Maybe we should keep voting him in. Yet we have the true believers that foley is innocent and all the whinners are drug addicts and welfare recipients. WELL HERES ANOTHER SHINNING EXAMPLE OF A WHINNER who can't convict but spins a story better than any fiction writer Iv'e ever read.

Understand this: the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals is packed with Daddy and Son Bush appointees. They are TOTALLY pro-government on appeals and RARELY rule against the government whether it be a criminal OR civil action.

Check out their website and read the case law. I do it every day that they issue cases, getting them by email.

If the 1st Circuit - a heavy handed bunch of right wing, conservative judges - ruled in favor of a criminal defendant, the case was tremendously flawed.

Coakley trying to overturn the case is a waste of taxpayer money. That's 3 down this week in the County, starting with Baran.

Daily Horoscope for January 2

Scorpio

Something about your personality or appearance is drawing a lot of attention today, Scorpio. People insist on watching when you'd rather that they minded their own business. Your stubborn streak at a time when flexibility would be easier. Be kind to those with long memories, especially if you think you might run into them again at some point in your life. If you can't think of anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
