And the Winners Are . . .

Folly would like to congratulate this year's winners of the Jefferson Muzzle awards, who have protected the rights of the citizenry by suppressing their free speech.

The winners are: the FCC for escalating sanctions against broadcasters for indecent material without defining such materials; the Virginia legislature for their wonderful law against drooping pants; and the US Marshall Service for erasing tapes made by journalists of a speech by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Here's hoping for even big and better violations of the Constitution in the coming year.
