J'accuse

Edge has it. It's the best thing I've read so far this year. No, I'm not going to excerpt a word - go read it, right now.

I wrote way too many words about how the Democrats have gotten stupid lately. This says the same thing, but from the heart instead of from the head.

And yes, j'accuse is precisely the right analogy, on at least three levels:

1. A letter,
2. addressed to a corrupt political system,
3. about a horrible miscarriage of justice.
   

The fact that the injustice is directed towards the body politic, rather than an individual is entirely besides the point.
