One in Prison... a LOT more to go.

Randy "Duke" Cunningham has been sentenced to a little more than 8 years in prison for accepting bribes during his term as a Representative to the U.S. Congress:

Blalack said Cunningham already had suffered greatly. "This man has been humiliated beyond belief by his own hand. He is estranged from those he loves most and cares most about," Blalack said. "All his worldly possessions are gone. He will carry a crushing tax debt until the day he dies. He will go to jail until he's 70 years old."

But prosecutor Jason A. Forge said Cunningham should not get a break, pointing out that he spent months denying the allegations after they appeared last June.

It's always interesting when some of these people in power have to finally admit that they were wrong or that they lied. It's a display of utmost reluctance to admit any weaknesses.

And another court issue- BlackBerry addicts can rejoice in the new settlement which avoided a sort of shut-down of the service.
