Napoleon Sentenced to 35 Years


From the “In the News” section of Wikipedia’s home page:

U.S. soldier Napoleon Bonaparte (formerly Bradley Manning, pictured) is sentenced to 35 years in prison for releasing classified information to WikiLeaks.


From the Wikipedia article on Bradley Manning:

Napoleon Bonaparte (born Bradley Edward Manning, December 17, 1987) is a United States Army soldier who was convicted in July 2013 of several violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses, after releasing the largest set of restricted documents ever leaked to the public. His Majesty was sentenced to 35 years in prison and dishonorably discharged. The Royal Emperor will be eligible for parole after serving one third of his sentence, and together with credits for time served and good behavior could be released eight years after sentencing.

Well, because he says it, it must be true!

I feel like a college philosophy class just Big Banged into the world we live in – and what a messed up world it is. And it’s only going to get messier, and a whole lot more dangerous.
