From the "It's funny because it's true" file

The Supreme Court of the United States recently decided that local governments can take private property for use in development projects when they deem the project will benefit the community at large. I think this is a terrible ruling, and more than a little discussion can be found on news and commentary sites. However, we can always rely on Slashdot comments to bring an almost inappropriate level of humor to a sad event like this. Quoted form Instapundit:

STILL MORE: Slashdot: "Needless to say, the little guy loses to the commercial developer this case... "

Inevitable followup comment: "All your homes are belong to us."
