The Penist

I wanted to write something about Roman Polanski's arrest, but what is there to write? He admitted to doing the crime. Rape is illegal and for good reason.

Apparently, people who think he shouldn't be extradited either believe 1) talented (or rich, or famous) people need not follow the law, 2) people who avoid arrest for long enough should be rewarded for being wily or 3) rape is okay? It's hard to believe anyone is willing to take one of these positions, but they do.
