Some thoughts on the Craig incident.
I read the arrest report, and according to it after the officer identified himself, Craig responded with "No!". Thereafter, Craig refused to cooperate with the officer until he was told that he was under arrest. He then apparently asked "What's going to happen?"

Being charitable, let's say that Craig really is innocent. Let's say that he really does have a very wide stance, and that he really was picking up a piece of paper off of the floor. Why are you asking "What's going to happen?" instead of "What is this about?"

Just food for thought.

1. He pled guilty. End of story. He's a U.S. Senator, not some rube from the sticks who never heard of
a lawyer fer chrissakes.

5. I've always liked...
...the way you just cut through the BS right down to the bone of reality. :)

2. "Craig: show yourself some compassion . . . "
That's the message I sent thru his website --

In watching him in Congress, I found his dispicable --

However, I think we need Craig and perhaps others like him to fear less being homosexual than being a hypocrite.

Craig has obviously been torturing himself or has split his consciousness to try to deal with this.

He should give himself the right to be human --

and give himself a break.

4. From what I have read
there is a ninety nine point nine nine percent chance the cop was right. I think pleading guilty plus his history (including rumors that won't die) make the case against him.
