The wheels of justice grind slow, but they grind exceedingly fine?

So, let's see. You used to call yourself a liberal. But things changed after 9/11, and now you're not sure what to call yourself anymore. Try "neo-neocon" on for size.

About Me
- Name: neo-neocon
I'm a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England. Surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely leaving the fold and becoming that dread thing: a neocon. My friends and family are becoming sick of what they see as my inexplicable conversion, so I've started this blog to give vent to my frustration. I have a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and my politics make me a pariah there, too. Little did I know that I moved in such politically homogeneous circles. Why the apple? See this.

- the big mystery prior to Jimmy Hoffa sleeping with the fishes, or is he hiding out in Brazil??? I liked the part about Crater supposedly being seen on the back of a burro....the lighter side of things is a nice touch to have to a blog that is becoming popular
Goesh--glad to see a real comment here. The first three were spambots, now deleted--arghhhh!! I really don't enjoy being the spambot police.
With TV shows like CSI and Law & Order, many people get the wrong idea that most crimes are solved routinely. This post is a perfect example of the reality in law enforcement. Most crimes are never solved. Those that are solved at a later date (cold cases) are solved as a consequence of a deathbed confession and not the crime labs and brilliant detective work.
I suspect in the near future you'll get a similar confession regarding JFK.
> With TV shows like CSI and Law & Order
I don't think this is fair to those shows, although true.
How many cops shows do you know who never solved a case? Even if there was an "unsolved case", it is in the context of one of the detectives reopening it and solving it.
NYPD Blue was the same.
It's a pretty rare show that has any cases left open and unsolved. The original Dragnet may have done that once in a while.
Ditto Law shows... how many cases can you recall where the attorneys in question lost a case with an innocent involved?
> - the big mystery prior to Jimmy Hoffa sleeping with the fishes, or is he hiding out in Brazil???
Yeah, I was gonna say, Hoffa's next.

Did the wheels of justice grind at all here? The answer is known, but I don't see how anyone paid a price for it...
;-)
Nonetheless, interesting post. Now if only you can track down Trotsky...
