A Push for Prison Reform

[bispo]

A follow up to my home girl schmiss's entry in Dec.

Sen.

The commission would undertake an 18-month review of the U.S. prison system,

I love my senator.

Yay, Webb!!! :)

Now if Warner would leave the "conservadems," I'd be very happy....

Warner being on the conservadems doesn't really bother me as much as some of the other ones. I guess cause he actually has a business background, and he's not quite as moronic and wishy-washy about his ~radical centrism~ as certain other senators I could name. Granted I would love for him to shift to the left over time but I'm willing to be patient.

GEO Group isn't going to be too happy about this.

FUCK TO THE YEAH.

If Specter seriously co-signs onto this, I will appreciate him SO MUCH. <3

I am so *___* over Jim Webb, and this time nobody can accuse me of being in it for the sexiness (because let's face it, dude looks like a cross between Seth Rogen and an angry potato).
