I haven't sent a monkey V-Man's way for a while, but he wins this one for knocking it out of the park with this fine piece of writing.

Cheese.

Are you reading Second City Cop yet? If not, shame on you! I especially appreciate this post, in which SSC does not defend one of its own, but advocates for personal responsibility.

A most excellent read.
