The layman definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting different results.
That mentality, incidentally, also appears to be the cornerstone of Republican politics. We have seen it many times before: start a war or two, give tax cuts to the rich, and expect the national debt to decrease. If at first you [...]

According to CNN, Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson’s personal physician on the night of his death, is being sought by law enforcement, as the prosecutors in Los Angeles are preparing to file criminal charges against him.
