So it looks like the court system has bakced down and let Ian “Freeman” Bernard, of Free Talk Live fame, out of prison.
I wonder if this had anything to do with it?

Obama’s Chief of Staff Wants You to Serve Mother America
On November - 13 - 2008
That is, of course, only if you are between the ages of 18 and 25. Seriously, read what Rahm Emanuel, aka Obama’s Chief of Staff, said in one of his books:
It’s time for a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young American. Under this plan, All Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service. …
Here’s how it would work. Young people will know that between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service. They’ll be asked to report for three months of basic civil defense training in their state or community, where they will learn what to do in the event of biochemical, nuclear or conventional attack; how to assist others in an evacuation; how to respond when a levee breaks or we’re hit by a natural disaster. These young people will be available to address their communities’ most pressing needs.
Silly me, I thought Section 1 of the 13th Amendment said, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Huh, did I misread that statement?
In related news, Obama will likely put into place a porgram that forces every high school student to perform 50 hours of community service in order to graduate. Its just another hoop to jump through if you want that nifty state sponsored diploma. Read about it on Obama’s new website Change.gov under the ‘America Serves’ section.
Americans Rush to Buy Guns After Obama Victory
On November - 11 - 2008
People are not stupid. They know that with a Democratic Senate, House, and Executive there will likely be another federal assault weapons ban in the United States. You know what that means: People are getting them while they still can, and gun sales prove it. They have gone up more than 15% since Obama’s election:

Michigan Voters Legalize Medical Marijuana, Massachusetts Loosens Penalties
On November - 5 - 2008
Hidden within the historic presidential election were two referendums that represented a victory for marijuana reform activists.
The first was proposal 1, which legalized marijuana in the state of Michigan for medical use. It was passed despite a smear campaign from opponents that claimed that marijuana dispensaries would open near schools and playgrounds.
The law, however, does not allow for the creation of licensed dispensaries. It only removes penalties for cultivation and buying of marijuana by severely ill patients.
The law goes into effect on December 4th, at which point nearly a quarter of the US population will live in one of the 13 states that allow access to medical marijuana.
In Massachusetts, voters chose to decriminalize the possession of one ounce of marijuana or less, and the crime will no longer be a punishable by jail time. The offence is now punishable by a citation, a $100 fine, and the confiscation of the drugs.
If the offender is under the age of 18 they must complete a drug awareness course or face a harsher $1,000 fine.
Rob Kampia, executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project, spoke about the two victories. “Tonight’s results represent a sea change,” he said and, “Voters have spectacularly rejected eight years of the most intense government war on marijuana since the days of ‘Reefer Madness.’”
