Who Watches the Watchmen? This

Who Watches the Watchmen? This article clears up the question: we’d better, or no one will.  These robe-wearing parasites give the law a bad name - and, considering the name it started with, that takes some doing.  I offer to you the ignominy of these judicial bottomfeeders both to glory in the downfall of others (a national pastime), and to sharpen our communal resolve to seek out and extirpate injustice - especially when it masquerades as its opposite.  Plus, I get to say “extirpate.” Twice!

Favorite quote: “In a victim’s report, she fingered a man in a long, dark, leather coat.” That can be tricky; those bulky outer garments can interfere with digital access (fingers, not numbers).  Maybe she was wearing the coat.  Maybe they both wore it - it sounds capacious and cozy.  It’s hard to tell from this article.  I’m just thinking, I gotta get me one of those long leather coats.  It sounds like they make a pretty powerful impression.  And I’ve got some seriously twitchy fingers.
