Thought for the day

Have you seen Tom DeLay’s smugshot? It’s an 8x10 glossy glamor shot featuring an eerily grinning, well-dressed DeLay bust portrait sans the usual accoutrements…prisoner number, height calibration…and America is left wondering, Is this for real, or is it some kind of sick joke? Without the height calibration, we have no way of knowing just how tall Mr. DeLay is. Perhaps he is, to use Jon Stewart’s expression, a tiny little man. How many prisoners must be thinking, Gee, I wish I had had his photographer!? I’ll bet Martha Stewart was.
