She Asked For It, Eh?

I have no words. You read this and see if you have any. I just have rage. Yeah, ok, he’s no threat to young girls, even though she admitted to being a little girl and he still came to find her, raped her on her school lunch break and tried to rape her again in an alley. Yeah, no threat, no threat at all. Just let him go. Yeah, ok then. Judge Atherton, I hope to christ you don’t have any children or grandchildren.

I Pledge…Na. I don’t Feel Like It.

I have no problem if someone chooses not to stand for their country’s anthem or the pledge of allegiance in the case of the States because they’re protesting something, but if the person refusing to stand is just being a lazy little prick like these eighth-graders were, then suspend the little prick. But one of their mommies says they should have just written a paper on it. Ok, mommy, let’s make them write a paper on it too. I think that’s a fine idea. Better yet, let’s stand them up in front of a room full of veterans, have them explain to the veterans that they just didn’t feel like it, and see how it goes over.

Ug. I don’t know exactly why this story pisses me off so much. It just does. Maybe it’s the fact that someone is using someone else’s right to free speech as an excuse to be lazy. Maybe it’s the fact that there are so many little idiot kids running around and so many parents want to encourage the idiocy. Maybe it’s all of that wrapped up together in a not so cute little bundle. But it makes me mad. Am I nuts?

I’m Becky Miller, And I Approved This Message…Or Did I?

Carrollton, Texas Mayor Becky Miller has lived quite the life, the only problem is that she hasn’t. And to make matters worse, the Dallas Morning News has decided to call her out on it. the paper has been systematically debunking her various claims, among them that she used to sing backup for both Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne (neither of them remember her), was once engaged to Don Henley (he doesn’t either) and that she had a brother die in the Vietnam war (her family doesn’t remember him not to mention that the name she gave was that of some black guy somewhere).

Watching her get progressively more and more angry as the article goes on is fine entertainment. You really get the sense that if things continue on for too much longer she’s going to start throwing things, perhaps even herself, from a bridge.

My Grandpa Can Beat Up Your Policeman

I’ve got all the respect in the world for police officers, but when 3 of them can’t subdue an 82-year-old man in a hospital bed hooked to an oxygen tank without hitting him 3 times with a Taser, it’s time to find a new line of work, preferably one that never allows them to roam free in the world.

Yeah I know the guy was “delirious” and had a small knife in his hand, but again, there were 3 of you, and he’s old as the hills, not to mention sick. Are we honestly supposed to believe that one of you couldn’t have grabbed an arm or flicked the thing out of his hand while the others held him in place? I know some of those old guys are pretty feisty, but methinks this is just a tad beyond the ridiculous to put it mildly.

Take It Out, Take It Out, Take It Out, Re-Move It!

Oh god. Yuck! *Wrinkles nose*. Ug. Ok, I’ll stop now. What I’m trying to say is I think I’ve found something worse than dog piss in the central air vents. Wanna guess what it is? Maybe you don’t. It’s skunk! Yep, you heard me right, fucking skunk. Now their house is destroyed, they’re having to live elsewhere, most of their belongings had to be disposed of, and their insurance company is saying “skunk? What skunk? You just want to redecorate, that’s all!”

Ug. And here I thought the worst thing ever would be if Trixie got sprayed by a skunk. Nope. They win.

Kids Today!

Oh boy. Is this a case of Jacob Bowring trying to retaliate? Nope, the guy’s name is Leonard Litt, strangely enough he was pretty lit up when they found him, and he hit the wrong car. Why in hell would he want to ram his dad’s car anyway? That’s never explained. And did he think that if he gave that as a reason for all of this, the police would say “Oh ok then. You’re free to go!”? All we know is he scared the everloving hell out of a poor woman whose car he did ram, then he abandoned his SUV, then came back hours later to get it, ran shoeless through people’s yards, heaved a bottle of vodca into the woods, and hid in a tree. The dogs found him anyway.

So now he’s off to jail. I guess he won’t be calling dad for help with bail.

Shitty Logic

Wow. If I thought a pair of shoes were ruined every time I stepped in dog doodoo, I’d have bought a lot of shoes by now. But that’s what Kelly DeBrocky is claiming is the case with her one-year-old son’s shoes, and she’s suing for reimbursement from the city of Norwalk.

Ok then. It sucks when you step in dog poop. But never have I needed to discard my shoes afterward. You clean it off, end of story. And why were his soiled clothes thrown away? First, how did they get soiled? How big was this “pile of fecal matter”? And don’t you usually bring extra clothes along when you have a toddler? So if he did manage to get crap on his clothes, couldn’t you just change him and wash the nasty clothes when you got home? Wy would you have to throw them away? And why would she let him walk around the museum barefoot? Wouldn’t that be more hazardous than treading on some dog tirds with his shoes on?

This whole thing smells of someone looking for a little money. By the looks of it, she’s not going to get it.
