#2 Moving the power requirement for non-essential use off the 'net' is so green. Karma for the the usual suspects. How could you be against going 'green'? /sarc

#3 I love it. These female inmates can watch Oprah if they can pedal fast enough. Losing weight while watching Oprah. And you can get all tingly up your leg at the same time.

#4 Though I have admired some of Sheriff Joe's actions and attitudes, apparently he's a power-mad crooked official that regularly abuses his authority for his own ends. Power corrupts etc. ...

Here's a good link with more info and links, written by someone who is closer to the reality on the ground.

#5 xbalanke: It's different for outsiders to understand, but there is "crazy", and there is also "Arizona crazy", which is a very different thing.

Put bluntly, if Arizona still executed by hanging, Joe would be doing a lot of hanging, and would probably be elected king of Arizona.

If UFO aliens landed here, they would be treated no differently than Mexican illegals, and would likely be sent to Nogales, instead of turned over to ICE, who would just let them go.

#6 Sheriff Joe needs a minder who can keep him within the limits of the law.

#7 Sheriff Joe is a reminder to the governing elite that law, like government itself, is derived from the consent of the governed. Sheriff Joe is simply the active reflection of the passive side of government that chooses to 'look the other way' in regards what the words in print say is the law. If the other elements of government did their job rather than their personal choosing, Sheriff Joe wouldn't exist.

#8 Well what did you expect? The ACLU would probably object to chain-gangs.

#12 I want a set up like that for my couch potato kids.

#13 I like to think of Arpaio as a pressure release valve for the rest of the country. Locally we see how pampered our CRIMINALS are and its good to see that someone does not.
