Porn producer invokes the Bush/Yoo defense -- unsuccessfully

Citizens who produce fictitious films depicting "humiliation" and "degradation" will be sent to prison. Government officials who do that in reality will be immunized.

    Great post

    Another great post. I remember something Bill Maher said a while ago. He knew our government wasn't serious about the "war on terror", because we still have the "war on drugs". Police resources are limited. It's a matter of priorities. It costs 30-40 thousand dollars a year to keep one prisoner locked up. So we are going to spend over 100,000 dollars, to keep this porn producer imprisoned. What a waste of our tax dollars.
