Voters in Monroe County, Mich., elected a convict who will start his term behind bars
Story by M.L. Elrick, USA TODAY NETWORK • 1h

Newly elected County Commissioner Mark Brant says he's eager to serve his constituents in Monroe County, Michigan — but first he has to serve time.

Brant is scheduled to report to federal prison in Morgantown, West Virginia, on Friday, making this a Thanksgiving he'll always remember — even if he'd rather forget. Brant was sentenced to 18 months in Club Fed, fined $500,000 and agreed to give up the more than 300 grand the feds found in his Monroe home after he pleaded guilty to what Uncle Sam calls "maintaining a drug-involved premises."
 
While that may sound like the longtime Republican politician was operating a crack house or opium den on the Michigan-Ohio border, it's not that dramatic. Brant copped to leasing land to some dudes who grew marijuana they sold in Ohio, in violation of federal law.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
