We got your oversight right here

We  are living in times of absolution without accountability, and damn are they interesting. Bizarre and a tad scary, but interesting.

Over here you've got an attorney general who doubles as Our Only Available President's chief fixer, telling us there's nothing to see here in the Mueller Report, nope, nothing at all, even though there was plenty to see there.

You've got OOAP himself absolving himself of any wrongdoing in using American foreign policy the way Vito Corleone used Luca Brasi ... then saying, well, even if it was wrong (and I'm not saying it was) look over here at what my political opponents are doing .. then saying, OK, so maybe it was wrong, but it was all Rick Perry's idea, anyway, so why are you blaming me?

And then there's that bit of slickery the folks at Kent State University pulled the other day.

Remember that whole business back in September, when KSU officials chased off a couple women's field hockey teams in the middle of a game KSU was hosting, because it was time to fire off a few Silver Salutes next door in advance of Kent State's football game?

The women were rightly pissed, the national women's field hockey association weighed in, and KSU officials apologized profusely.

Whether they actually meant it, or were just doing damage control to make it all go away, remains open to question. Especially now.

On Friday, see, according to the Bangor Daily News in Maine (one of the field hockey teams run off was from the University of Maine), Kent State’s Office of Compliance, Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action announced it could find no violation of Title IX, nor any evidence of gender bias in the September incident.

This was, to say the least, a completely shocking development. Shocking, I tell you! Why, I can't think of a single other time in human history when an institution investigated itself and absolved itself. Can you?

At the very least, it would have produced some memorable headlines. Right?

Fox Investigates Henhouse Break-In, Finds "No Evidence" Of Fox's Involvement.

Lance Armstrong Drug-Tests Lance Armstrong, Comes Up Completely Clean.

East German Judge Who Gave The American A 3.0 On Her Floor Routine Rules The Score "Entirely Legitimate" After Interrogating Himself.

That sort of thing.

Of course, I'm sure in this case, everything was entirely ABOVE BOARD and LEGITIMATE, DAMMIT. You can rest assured of that.
