worst person in the world

We interrupt this preseason prognostication with both a delicious and brief comment. The largest fraud and douche bag this side of Breet, Roger Clemens, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for (among many things including sandbagging the Red Sox) perjury. At this point the Pix doesn't want to get into all the details of how Fraudger got himself into this pickle, rather the Pix wants to focus on the one "objection" some sports fans have to the process of prosecuting and spending tax payer dollars on this endeavor. The Pix gets it. The government has more important things to do than go after an irrelevant athelete. But here's the thing. The government has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT TO DO BUT TO PROSECUTE PERJURORS. That's it. That's the deal. The foundation of our legal system is based on nothing more important than people TELLING THE TRUTH when they are under oath. Without that small detail, the entire judicial process does not effing work. The Pix doesn't believe dogmatically in much. The Pix is a liberatarian. But the Pix goes absolutely ape shit when people lie (see Breet) and becomes apoplectic when an athelete's hubris leads him to lie UNDER OATH. And do you know who doesn't think it's very funny either? The effing feds. They are bastards like that, which is why their conviction percentage is north of 90%.

So why didn't Fraudger take a plea? Because he got intergallactically bad counsel. The Pix has met a few of these predatory lawyers (albeit in the estate planning world, not criminal). They are a little like pro athletes themselves. They get boners by trying seemingly unwinnable cases because if they can pull off the huge upset, they are the new Johnny Cochoran. And make no mistake, Rusty Hardin is the biggest living example of this combination of celebrity seeking weasel and snake oil salesman writ large. And poor dumb ass Fraudger is in his pocket. The Pix can not wait for this trial. Beware, Fraudger and "Rusty" might win. The prosecution's case is mostly based on DNA evidence that a convicted drug dealer kept in a Miller Lite can in his attic for 6 years. Sub optimal. But the Feds are f'ing pissed. And they know the Texas fat ass has literally dared them to indict. Clemens' ego makes Breet's look microscopic. The end for both of them, it says here, will not be pretty. But the Pix does look forward to it.

Pix out........
