It just doesn't get more ridiculous than this.

Julie Bass of Oak Park, Michigan -- a mother of 6, law-abiding citizen,
and gardener -- is facing 93 days in jail after being charged with a
misdemeanor.

Her crime? Planting a vegetable garden in the front yard.

Nothing whatsoever liberal about this.

Right - but only because contemporary "liberals" are 100% illiberal.

Can't find that word din any dictionary. *I sure hope you know what you mean
because I doubt anyone else does.



Draconian punishments for trivial
offenses is

Standard left-wing policy. *See "hate crimes".

So tying a young gay man to a fence in Wyoming in winter so he can freeze to
death (after a savage beating) is a trivial offense?

Paul-

It's manslaughter or murder. Not trivial.

You don't have to hang tinsel on it to get the legal system's
attention.
