Balloon Juice, on this story that New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie once got away with hitting someone with his car without charges being filed:
I love stories like this because they get to the heart of what a fucked up world we live in. If you’re black, you get hauled down to the station for sassing cops. If you’re poor enough, you get sent to the chair when your children die in a tragic accident. But if you’re the right kind of person, you can spend your life smashing into other motorists or running Ponzi schemes or torturing people and no one will say boo.
