Not Fair

Carnival fans are undoubtedly disheartened by Katherine Harris' bid for Senate apparently going down in serious flames, but they can take heart in the fact that she has at least--so far--managed to avoid being indicted on several counts of criminal conspiracy in fixing the federal election that propelled George W. Bush into the White House, while serving as Secretary of State for his younger brother Governor Jeb Bush of Florida.

We temps at the Carnival--whooping it up, by the way, while the boss is away--suppose getting off scot-free is something Katherine (as heiress to a sugar fortune made possible by destruction of the Everglades, and no doubt large contributions to governors like the Bush brothers and other crooked politicians) has come to expect. Unfortunately, some of those Florida negroes she illegally disenfranchised in 2000--in order to make sure Jeb's sibling could move up from Austin to Washington--must have figured out how to undo her Jim Crow scheme in the meantime.

Sometimes life just ain't fair.
