And now, the strange, bizarre and just plain stupid news....

The Nebraska legislature's new "safe haven" law for unwanted babies, like other states' laws, allows them to be dropped off anonymously at hospitals to discourage abortions (and neglect by unfit parents). However, unlike other states' laws, Nebraska's applies not just to infants, but "minors," because, said Sen. Tom White, "All children deserve our protection." In September, the first two non-infants were abandoned, as exasperated parents gave up on rebellious sons aged 11 and 15, and critics say the law could apply to those up to age 19.

In August, the U.S. Department of Transportation unveiled new rules for train and bus drivers returning to work from drug-use suspensions. They must now be tested first by a strip search to detect devices for cheating (such as artificial penises), and if none is found, they may re-dress themselves, but a monitor must still "directly watch the urine as it goes from the employee's body into the collection container." Not surprisingly, several unions have challenged the rule in court. [Railway Age, 8-13-08]

Joey Bergamine, 19, who is preparing for a re-trial in Fayetteville, N.C., on a DUI charge stemming from a July 2007 incident, will argue that he should have been advised of his right to have a lawyer present when his father kicked open his bedroom door hours after the incident to help police officers who had come to question him. Joey's father is the police chief of Fayetteville, and Joey's lawyer said entering a locked room, as well as the subsequent interrogation, constituted "police" action and not "parental" action, and since his dad failed to "Mirandize" him, the charge should be dismissed.

Christopher Sullivan, 43, was arrested in Oshkosh, Wis., in August as the person who allegedly sent his upstairs neighbors threatening packages, including a Polaroid photo of three naked Barbie dolls with their heads cut off. He told police he was angry that the couple were too loud when they had sex. [The Northwestern (Oshkosh), 8-26-08]

and finally

Michael Mahoney, 25, is the most recent rapist (according to police in Somerville, Mass.) to believe he is such hot stuff that he gave his phone number to the victim, certain that he had charmed her into wanting to keep seeing him. Police quickly arrested him in July at home, where he lives with his parents. [Boston Herald, 7-9-08]

I thought this was toooooo hilarious!

Sarah Sucks or Puck Palin

I didn't know which title to use; so I added both.

So last nites debate just reinforced my thought that she is too stupid to run America, when McCain drops dead in office due to his age. That may be a stretch, but it is how I feel.

She dodged 10 questions to Biden's 6, kept going back to her energy initiatives, trying to play McCain as a maverick, and had that stupid ass grin on her face the whole time. Gimme a break, she wasn't doing the beauty pagent Q&A, where you have to be all nice and pretty....blech! Palin was involved in the ONLY VP debate of the election, and you are going for a serious title bitch, look serious, not like some air-headed barbie doll.

I thought I was going to puke on how many times she called McCain a "Maverick"; come on, that term was coined back in the wild, wild west. If you want to portray yourselves as being modern or "in touch", come up with a new tag line.

Lastly, I would LOVE to see hwat this DIVERSE family and friends group that she has. I am sure it is nowhere as DIVERSE as she thinks it is. Go ahead and try to "pray away the gay" Palin. You need to do something else, cause I don't think you have a snowballs chance in hell becoming the next VP.

I HATE POLITICS!

Heya everyone....

I know it's been a while since I have posted....Nothing exciting or exceptionally great happening, just thought I may want to hop on my soap-box here and there.

Basically I am re-opening the blog to eveyone, and will start posting again soon.
