Justice Department says it will end use of private prisons

It’s a start. Now let’s see about making things right for all of the “political prisoners” (read: minority voters who have been jailed for drugs and other non-violent, victimless crimes under the 3rd strike rule…which was of course a good way to keep those private prisons full when the Clintons ‘imagined’ this all into existence back in the 90s with Bill’s beloved Crime Bill, which Hillary would now like you to forget, of course.)

‘Dirty Water’ From Boston’s Charles River Is Being Used To Brew Beer

Hmmm. I know it’s filtered and all, but I try to live by “if you wouldn’t drink the water, don’t drink the beer they make from it”.

There’s too many beers in the sea. ~jg
