		<description>Ah, yes, Ol&#039; Joe.  Even my conservative cop friends see him as something of a nut case.  (Although I do like the pink boxer shorts thing he did to keep inmates from jacking the jail undies. It appeals to my fashion sense.)

Woody, surely you know I&#039;m terribly against capital punishment---EXCEPT when it comes to people who litter in National Parks, and those loathsome slimebags who unleash adware on our non-Mac computers.  I say fry their sorry asses (now that lethal injection is not as readily available due to the Cruel and Unusual thing I mentioned earlier).</description>

		<description>Who can argue with a Sheriff who has a recidivism rate of about 16% vs. the national average of 85%???  

Who can argue with a man who runs the only accredited high school under a Sheriff in an American jail?

Who could argue with that famous Barretta saying emblazoned behind his desk -- Ã¢â‚¬Å“If you donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t want to do the timeÃ¢â‚¬Â¦.donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t do the crimeÃ¢â‚¬Â?

Who can argue with a man who instituted chain gangs, including female and young offender chain gangs?  (Well, there are a few liberals that might argue with this one.)

Who can argue with a man that plays Newt Gingrich&#039; lecture series on videotape to inmates --- oops Ã¢â‚¬â€œ I gave it away Ã¢â‚¬â€œ Yes it is none other than the tent city sheriff, Joe Arpaio of Arizona.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t read the NY Times without getting disgusted, so I&#039;ll just have to go by what you write.

California sets a bad example for the entire country on most everything, but when Las Vegas bar owners start complaining about Californians, then you know that California has hit rock bottom.  Here&#039;s some samples:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17791351/?=gohome&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Got problems? Blame the Californians&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Ã¢â‚¬Å“California has a negative influence on our society,Ã¢â‚¬Â he said, glancing around as cigarette smoke fills the stuffy place. Ã¢â‚¬Å“They should keep their world in their world.Ã¢â‚¬Â

Ã¢â‚¬Å“Damn Californians,Ã¢â‚¬Â she said, repeating a familiar complaint. Ã¢â‚¬Å“All their fault, all the time.Ã¢â‚¬Â&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I don&#039;t know what you do with criminals, but we just execute them.  That puts a cap on long-term costs and uncertainties.  However, if someone is worth bringing back into society, then they do need to learn trade skills that will provide for them.  If they can&#039;t learn them, ship them to Mexico.  

In any event, don&#039;t give them the right to vote.  Felons love Democrats and vice versa.</description>

		<description>Sounds interesting. Remember when the Golden State was the nation&#039;s premier &quot;Laboratory of Democracy?&quot; Yeah, I know, a long, long, time ago in a country far, far away.</description>
