Selective Shaming. A must read!!

H/T bonz:

If only government were as accountable as British tabloids.




Something rather weird happened in London last week. For some time, the Guardian, a liberal, broadsheet, “respectable” newspaper, has been hammering the News of the World, a populist, tabloid, low-life newspaper, over its employees’ penchant for “hacking” the phones of royals and celebrities — Prince Harry and Hugh Grant, for example. This isn’t as forensic as it sounds: Until recently, most British cellphones were sold with the default password set to either 0000 or 1234, and most customers never bothered to change it.

So, at the News of the World, every single employee is clearing out his desk. But, at the Atlantic Public Schools, at the DEATFBI, life goes on. A curious contrast.

Yup.  ::puke::

"imperviousness to any kind of accountability"

Frustratingly true and completely un-American!

Accountability be coming though, one way or another...
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
