  Let’s make elected officials accountable  March 31, 2013 The
Herald-Star  To the editor:  Five months ago, a national
election was held, with the voters speaking very clearly. We
said we're sick and tired of the gridlock, partisan politics,
petty arguments and distractions that are used to divert our
attention away from the real problems.  The latest distraction
is from a justice on the Supreme Court, who thinks the voting
rights law is a racial entitlement. Did anybody notice what
Justice Antonin Scalia was wearing when he made this stupid
statement? Was it a suit, his black robes or a white sheet with
a pointed hat? This goofball is still living in the 19th
century. What a disgrace, from the highest court in the land. He
needs to have his mouth washed out with disinfectant, a new pair
of glasses and a long period of psychotherapy.  If you'll
remember, prior to the election, all you heard was how concerned
those running for office were about jobs, the cost of health
care, taxes, education and public safety
