Parental Responsibility Overrules Politics In Elian Case
A three judge panel of the 11th U S Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta upheld the denial of an asylum hearing for 6 year old Elian Gonzalez. The court said only a parent can speak for a child lacking capacity to decide his future, assigning responsibility to his father. An appeal by Elian’s relatives to the Supreme Court seems likely but unlikely to succeed.

A provocative, if scattered, critique of intellectual mediocrity and popular culture. The speaker fumes at what they deem widespread stupidity from Congress and reality TV choices and suggests two drastic fixes: eliminate idiot warnings and arm every person with a Superman suit, then ends with garbled near-phrase remnants.
