Things that come home to roost

That would be 'chickens coming home to roost' which is to say actions really do have consequences even if it sometimes takes a little time for those consequences to be felt.

Bush's Goons, Jenna's Barhopping, and Breathtaking Lawlessness

Two of my favorite blogs, the ones I would read first thing, were tpm and dkos. But in recent weeks the tussle between Obama and Clinton has pretty much consumed them so I have wandered a bit and found respite in the writings at Hullabaloo. Topics like WH lawlessness, phone company amnesty (hate to even put those words into print), attempts to control the press and the public, the politicization of everything under the sun, the trashing of the Constitution, lack of oversight, etc., etc., etc., have gone underground or onto the back pages. At least it seems so to me. So, Hullabaloo is a breath of fresh air, a return to some of the more meatier matters of our public life as a democracy. And they again raise the issue of why we must not let bygones be bygones, that truth must come to the fore, that justice must prevail, that those who have done wrong be held accountable. Like the strangler finally convicted just the other day of his crime of some twenty years ago (think I saw that story in the Indy Star yesterday). So let it go forward, these stories and investigations and the return to a Nation of Law rather than of men.
