...noticed one important difference between crack and other drugs: those convicted of crack violations are overwhelmingly black. While 27 percent of those convicted of crimes related to powder cocaine are black, the figure jumps to an astounding 85 percent for crack. As Sentencing Commission member Judge William K. Sessions III argued in announcing the decision, “justice is, and must always be, colorblind”—an impossibility when the use of a drug associated with one community is punished much more harshly than the use of a very similar drug favored by another.

Merrily, he shouted, “Your mom’s a HO HO HO! Happy holidays everybody...

As recently as Oct. 17, the President had said Iran's bomb-building program could be a precursor to "World War III." It was a statement that was both outrageous in its extravagance and very strange. Bush acknowledged that he had first heard in August that a new intelligence analysis of Iran's nuclear-bomb program was imminent, but - and here comes the strange part - he hadn't bothered to ask the Director of National Intelligence...
