How Kafka-esque is D.C.’s WASA?

This is a freaky read in Washinton City Paper about people having their items stolen from them by Washington D.C.’s Water and Sewer Authority. It’s scary that a city government is so hungry for revenue that they have resorted to stealing possessions from the taxpayers. Or, their contractors have gotten greedy (as if the rates they charge aren’t enough). What the hell is wrong with these people?

I hope this doesn’t happen in San Diego, which has had some very serious fiscal problems over the past few years. Parking enforcement is very efficient at raising revenue and sometimes they steal cars (from folks who don’t pay up). But, this is very clever.

Give Me My Money Back, You Bitch!

It would be nice to say this to the late and belated Jerry Falwell, who found the LGBT community to be his biggest money maker. Paying out the victims of his ministry would no doubt bankrupt Falwell’s estate and ministry, as everyone would want a piece, especially the children who were thrown out of their homes for being gay and lesbian and the families of those who died because of his (and other’s) rhetoric. Unfortunately, some victims will be forever clueless and tortured, like closeted homophobes such as Ted Haggard. How many Moral Majority or Family Values clergy are in the closet? These perhaps are some his biggest victims.

On a different subject but related to this header, it would be nice to say this to the US government regarding our war on drugs. As a taxpayer, I find this decades-long campaign to be absolutely frivolous. Here is Joshua Minton’s fantasy story of storming Congress and getting them to end the war on drugs. Enjoy!

I wish I could do what his narrator does to Congress with his Jedi-like powers.

Here are some basic facts about the war on drugs.
