File under Wonders, Unceasing: Fox News publishes an editorial saying the War on Drugs might, might, mind you, have been a less than perfect idea by the Blessed Saint Nixon1, Father Mighty Whitey on the Drug War trail, and that Ronny Ray-gun's2 law-enforcement-centred budget bump might have been somewhat ill-considered, and that (gasp) the additional billions thrown at the problem by the Kings George (I3 and II4) and Slick Willie5 may have exceeded their imperial reach.
That spending untold billions of dollars to absolutely no effect might, possibly, in some uncharitably liberal light, be seen to be an imperfect, not to say completely pointless, approach to the illegal drug "problem".
We here at Shakesville would like to welcome Fox News to the 21st Century, and hope that they will enjoy their stay in...well, the modern world. We'd like to think they'll stay in the 21st, but we know it's really hard for them to avoid digging into that nostalgic wellspring of good non-exploitative government, the Victorian Age, as predicated by their Great Prophet, Karl Rove.
