Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus

One good-ish piece of news out today, as word comes down that Michael Vick is going to be pleading guilty to several charges in association with dogfighting activities on his property.

I want to make some sort of semi-joke here, about an appropriate punishment involving the use of one of the 'rape stands' that were found on his property. But it's not really seemly to do so. If nothing else, Ezra has done a fine job of convincing me that the conditions in our prisons really are abominable, and that this has a significant social consequence. Nonetheless, it is good to see that even a bigwhig with a highfalutin' team of lawyers can get in trouble every once in a while when he really does wrong.
