I'm Not One for the Death Penalty

... but Ohio should have fried this bitch



According to CNN:

"CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) -- A woman who molested at least one of her five children and prompted four of them to have sex with each other has been sentenced to 40 years in prison.

Robin Kraft, 26, had pleaded guilty in June to two charges of rape and four counts of child endangering. Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge David Davis on Friday imposed the maximum sentence, saying Kraft should not be released from prison while she can bear children.

Prosecutors said Kraft and her husband, Paul Kraft, 32, sexually abused their four sons and one daughter, ages 1 to 6, in 2004."

OH YEAH, and if there was a way to fry someone's ass more than once, her husband should be first on the short list...

"In March, Paul Kraft received five life sentences on five rape charges and 96 additional years on 12 charges of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor. He is ineligible for parole.

In an online exchange, Kraft offered to rape his 3-year-old daughter live on the Internet if another person would do the same so Kraft could watch, prosecutors say. The agent contacted Hamilton County sheriff's deputies, who arrested Kraft at home."

They say he got busted in an online chat room for "baby and pre-teen sex". Now, I've blogged before about what would possess an adult to want to have sex with 14-year old, but fucking babies???? If you want to do something like that, living here would be your best option...

Oh, and whilst looking for that little picture, I found this interesting little test.

I won't say where I'll be landing.

I've always just loved Mr. Alighigieri.

Ah Ha! The Experts Have Spoken

Today in the Scotsman (the online Scottish paper I read), was headlined this little blurb...

"CHILDREN from the age of five should be encouraged to drink wine at home to prevent the toll of alcohol abuse in later life, one of the country's leading experts on the problem has told Scotland on Sunday.

Jack Law, chief executive of Alcohol Focus Scotland and a member of the Scottish Ministerial Advisory Committee on Alcohol Problems, believes the practice would cut binge drinking among youngsters by taking the mystery out of alcohol."

Well, I don't know if boozing up your toddler will prevent alcoholism, but it sure makes nappy time a little easier.

Bad Day in Perspective

This lady...



Mrs. Jennifer Ewing

was killed sometime on Wednesday morning. She was a wife and the mother of three - seemingly - intellegent, good kids. According to the AJC's "guest book" (that's where you sign in online as though you were at the funeral), she was a good lady, who loved to bike on this trail in northwest Georgia. Apparently, she went out four or five times a week and rode 60 miles or so. Her daughter said she always went out around 2 and was always home before dark.

Apparently, something happened to her on Tuesday's ride and she never came home.

Now police say this guy...



Michael William Ledford

raped and murdered her on the trail.

How did they catch this little fuckstick, you ask? As the story goes today, this guy went to the hospital with his dick covered in bloody teeth marks. He said he had an altercation with a hooker, but then changed his story a few times. When the police went to check him out, they found out he was a convicted rapist and was just out of jail after serving 10 years. They arrested him because being with a hooker is a parole violation. So, I guess he gets 10 points for being
a fucking idiot.

Oh, and he gets another 20 points for attacking an trained athlete, who rides.... 60 miles x 5 times a week (you do the math) in 94 degree heat. "It does appear that Mrs. Ewing put up a valiant struggle with her attacker," said John Bankhead, a GBI spokesman.

The GBI says dickless was covered in her DNA. This cat will quick fry when he's convicted. Georgia no likey guys who rape and murder good, white, Christian women.

When I first heard this story Wednesday and the family was still looking for her, I really felt for them. I mean, she's been riding this trail for years. Also, they say it's a well traveled path that lots of folks use. For this scum to have just gotten out of jail and for him to be on this path at that time of day... well, I just thought I had bad days. I would imagine a bunch of folks are asking the eternal question, "Why, God".

Rest in peace, Lady.

Bad Day in the Kitchen

This guy...




fucked up my day...

When in Doubt, Consult Mr. Webster

hypocrite (hip' ә krit), n. a person who practices hypocrisy, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs. [1175-11225 ME ipocrite]

Hmmm.... so what does "hypocrisy" mean?

↓

hypocrisy (hi pok' ә sē), n., the false profession of desirable or publicly approved qualities, beliefs or feelings, esp. a pretense of having virtues, moral principles, or religious beliefs that one does not really possess [1175-1225; ME ipocrisie] < style="">hypókrisis playacting

Nope, not getting it. I guess I'm one of those single-celled amoebas that needs a visual aide...

OHHHH, you mean....

Alright, so I'll regret asking the common question, but what did he do now?

From CNN:

President Bush used his veto power Wednesday for the first time since taking office 5 1/2 years ago, saying that an embryonic stem-cell research bill "crossed a moral boundary."

Forgive me, but who the fuck is he to preach about moral boundaries?

Bush went on to say, "This bill would support the taking of innocent human life in the hope of finding medical benefits for others."

Well, at least the taking of innocent "human life" would have some fucking purpose besides putting dirty money in your pocket, AssMunch! ... Oops, I mean, "President AssMunch" (I wouldn't want to get caught slandering, or in this case libeling, this monkey --- no offense to monkeys intended).

Who started the war in Iraq that has killed, shit, 20-30 THOUSAND innocent Iraqis? Who started the war in Iraq that has killed over 2,000 Americans and countless numbers of other worldwide followers, who mistakenly followed this baffoon into a battle that was never meant to be fought, much less "won"???

This asshole has -almost- single-handedly destroyed any hope the US might have had as a real time player in world politics (not to take credit away from Rowe, Rumsfeld, or Cheney). I guess we should be glad to be a nuclear power. Shit, otherwise half the world would have blown us straight off the map by now.

NOBODY with half a brain cell gives the US any credence and I'm utterly ashamed to have to show a blue passport when I travel. For Bush to try and lecture about "moral boundaries" makes me want to puke. It's akin to Cheney dissing lesbians. I have never heard such horseshit in my life. And for that PigShit to #1 Veto his very first legislation (shows he's finally paying attention to Congress) and #2 Show up to the press conference with a bunch of fucking embryonic babies is simply ----- fuck----- ikky! That's way too Gattaca-esque for me.

I bet you TEN MILLION dollars that if Baby Jeb were born with Parkinson's Disease, Big Bro would be pushing the stem cell vote right through to L-A-W. Hell, even Nancy Reagan was pushing the bill. Hell, CONGRESS (the Republican Congress) passed the bill - INCLUDING that Nazi, Bill Frist! What the hell is wrong with this picture?

Oh, God. Why won't you please, please whisper to that idiot who is ruining what's left of our country to please just shut up and quit trying to be a valiant noble. Dreams for some should die quietly.

Tony Auth draws it better:





I could continue this diatribe for hours, but there is warm bourbon bread pudding and homemade vanilla ice cream calling me in for vespers. I'll pay the penance tomorrow when I try four miles in 98 degrees. Ah, literally hell on Earth. I wonder how those weenie Brits are handling it?

Finally! Folks are Starting to See the Light

Good cartoon, better article... http://www.rollingstone.com/news/profile/story/9961300/the_worst_president_in_h

OK, so maybe this article was written by liberal historians, but the key word here is "historian". I could have told you on January 2, 2000 that Bush was the worst president ever (actually, I think I did). Sad that it took six years, a massive terrorist attack on US soil, a pre-meditated war in Iraq, the sad, astonishingly fast demise of a blooming economy, a failed rescue of thousands of poor people from one of the worst US disasters ever...... blah, blah, blah

for others to get it.

Actually, I know several people who would agree with me. It's just those handful of folks that I hang out with that still think "he's doing a good job" that jerk my chain. Oh, and the 58 million dipshits that re-elected him in 2004. Hell, even my DAD said he'd vote Democrat in 2008.

Yes, Chicken Little; that would be the sky - duck.

Georgia Voters Finally Got it Right

This little nuggett...




Will NOT be our Lieutenant governor.

Wonder who he'll blame for the loss? Jesus?

RAISE UP AND SAY, "PRAISE BE"!!! Then bring out the snakes.


Now, let's see what happens with the "Queen-Loon", Cynthia, and whether or not Georgia voted to have an overweight redneck or a Southern BEE-atchie duke it out with Sonny P.

I'd say I voted "pound-for-pound", but then again, I think a real bee-atch can beat a man of any size - and that would be my experience speaking.

My Sentiments, Exactly

From today's NY Times...




Thanks TONY AUTH

No Longer Gonna be a City Rat

I'm sick of City living. Yeah, I know it ain't New York or L.A., but with the influx of all these 'burbanites, I'm feeling choked. I got choked out of Virginia-Highlands - my bohemian hideaway - almost five years ago. When my accountant/tax guy says, "Buy a house, get some equity, quit throwing away your money", I should have shot him on the spot.

But, NOOOOOOO - I go out and buy a house that needs more work that Liza Minelli did when she hit 70. And this little gem sits right in the middle of the City because nothing makes me more testy than sitting in traffic, especially with weather like today (mid 90's, 80% humidity).

Oh, and did I mention that the City stinks?

So, I'm going to rent out the house (or maybe commit real estate suicide and sell) and then I'm going to buy this...





Oh, you poo-poo'ers are gonna say, "What the hell do you know about boats". And I naturally would answer, "Well, I've seen 'Captain Ron' about 100 fucking times."

I haven't decided where to moor her yet. One of the main reasons to leave this area is the crap weather that I cannot tolerate anymore in my old age, and when I mentioned the "stink" of the City, one would assume she wouldn't sit in the 'Hooch' or on Lanier or Alatoona (besides they don't have any water in them.)

Actually, I don't know shit about boats, but if I cash in my TRS and continue the catering thing, this could be moi in a year or so. Besides, I can learn and at least I wouldn't have to worry about the cats running away.

There is always, always, hope.

Doggie on a Hardwood Floor

Yep, I agree with him - finally.

Zizou deserves the Golden Ball for the way he commanded the French team the entire tournament (well, except maybe for those first few games). And I agree completely with Zidane's comments yesterday...

Zidane, who retired after his 108th appearance for France, stressed that he felt no regret about his outburst "because that would mean (Materazzi) was right to say all that."

"My act is not forgivable," Zidane said. "But they must also punish the true guilty party, and the guilty party is the one who provokes." (cnn.si.com)

I wish I spoke French so I could know the real translation.

Armageddon Right Around the Corner

Lovely.

Looks like Israel and Lebannon are pissed at each other again- and I mean, really, really, really pissed.

Looks like North Korea is actually cooking up uranium mixed with some plutonium - then tossing it over the Pacific. And some people are suggesting fucking China should clean the kitchen.

Looks like Iraq is becoming a shear hellhole - that one's a no-brainer.

Nobody gives a flying shit about what's happening in Africa.

Putin is playing footsie with autocracy.



Oh yeah... and it looks like India (those "peaceful" Hindus) have decided to join the party.

How is it I open a book this morning and the very first phrase I see is

après mol le déluge...

Then I visit my bud at Yorkshire Soul and this is the first image I see...





(thanks to Yorkshire Soul.org)



Fuck! Tell me again why I quit doing drugs????

I Don't Get It

From CNN today..

"Auschwitz Concentration Camp", a U.N. heritage site, will be renamed "the Former Nazi German Concentration Camp of Auschwitz", the ministry of culture said in a statement.


OK, so if the Poles have issues with the name Auschwitz, why the hell would you change the name to include the word, "Auschwitz".

I've been there.

Took the tour and damn near puked when we got to the room where all the shoes were. If you've never been, this is the place where they put some of the shoes of those who were killed --- and the mound is unbelievable (I would say about nine cubic yards, at best guess).

I had to excuse myself from the group (so tossing my cookies wouldn't offend anyone) and while I was walking around the camp alone, I honestly could feel the true, anguished ghosts every where, and ... it permanently stained my soul.

It was, and still is, the saddest place on earth.

I've got a better name... "Hell: Where Angels were Sent".

What's a Role Model

When I was growing up, I had role models. Specifically, Bugs Bunny, Oscar the Grouch, Pope John Paul II, and Mel Brooks. Now, Bugs taught me to take life in stride; Oscar taught me how to be a bitch when necessary (OK and sometimes I go overboard); The Pope (well, that goes without saying); and Mel taught me how to laugh out loud until my side ached.

How or WHY does anyone want an athlete to be a role model for their kids? If you have to teach your child the virtues of life via a game played by testosterone-driven, sport junkies, something tells me you let your kid watch too much tube. Besides, who decides which athlete should be a role model?

Maradonna, Dennis Rodman, Joe Theisman, John Daly... What makes any of these guy more or less worthy of being coined a "role model"?

Just picked up this little note from Dr. Z on SI.com


http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/dr_z/07/10/zidane/index.html

Here, here!! Apparently, I'm not the only one who learned something from Oscar!

A Strong, Good Image from W.C.

Another View

Here we go... the REPLAYs begin:

So... truth may be re-discovered as the replay of the Cup is shown - over, and over...

This should be a good exercise in perspective.

This will be a terribly interesting week (and some time to come,) and opinions are going to fly.

I predict this to become "THE" societal controversy of the decade.

I Would Have Done the Same Thing

Some are saying that this was the most critical aspect of the World Cup.



And if you believe that to be true, count yourself a fucking idiot.


The BEST part of the World Cup (ironically) was Zidane's flip to Henry to beat Brazil cold.

If Materazzi made some sort of racial statement to me, I'd have headed him a little further south.

Besides, Zizou got Golden Ball. How ironic is THAT!

Oh, and to say this little incident cost France the Cup is asinine. Having one player thrown out in the 110th minute didn't do shit. Sadly, the player that lost the Cup was Trezeguet for missing that PK, but even that's not fair. I honestly do not believe the World Cup Final should be decided man-against-man (aka in PKs). Football is a team sport and should be played to the end as a team. If the game goes into a bunch of OTs, then it comes down to which team has the better endurance level.

This Ain't Rocket Science, Folks

From today's Washington Post...

"From deteriorating security in Afghanistan and Somalia to mayhem in the Middle East, confrontation with Iran and eroding relations with Russia, the White House suddenly sees crisis in every direction."

Duh?

But some folks re-elected this idiot in 2004.

AND, there are 36 percent of brain-dead MOE-Rons in America that still think he's doing a "good job".

Save me.

That Tahitian pool bar job is looking pretty good right now.

And it was Decided...

Even though I'm half Italian, I'm going to pull for France... only because they have played so well and Zidane has agreed to have my children.

Good luck on Sunday.

You know I'll be wearing French colours!

My best to Anne and Ewen. Let him know that it's good luck to have "patient old men" run the winning team for his first World Cup. Patient old women aren't too shabby, either.

I'll probably text or call some of you whilst at the Brewhouse.

Fry His Stupid Ass

This fucking moron is Dallas Austin. He is a big-time Atlanta music producer, who on his way to Naomi Campbell's birthday bash in Dubai, got popped at the airport carrying 1.26 oz of coke - and I don't mean the canned stuff.

He just pleaded guilty in court, but qualified it by saying, "I'm pleading guilty but by mistake. I had no knowledge and no intention of violating the laws of the U.A.E."

Whaaaaa????? How the hell do you NOT know you're carrying a couple of eight-balls of coke in your fucking suitcase? If I had 1.26 O-Zs of coke, it certainly wouldn't be in my suitase. It would be up my nose.

Besides, what absolute MOE-RON carries anything, liquor, weed, coke... whatever... into an ARAB country???

This is a headline in the AJC only because our illustrious mayor hired him to create the theme song for Atlanta's "rebirth", which happens to completely suck on so many levels. Of course, Shirley says she knows nothing about his arrest.

Looks like Dallas will be out of a job for a long while as the UAE has a manditory prison sentence of four years for posssession. But, considering he was carrying 1.26 oz, it may be considered distribution.

He should get four years for just being a dipshit.

Mid-Life Crisis Advice

As I just celebrated, or should I say "struggled", through my post-35 year birthday, these words from my pal, Maya Angelou, come in handy... Of course, I'm not sure I agree with the first one.

#3 I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

#4 I’ve learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a life.

#5 I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

#6 I’ve learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.

#8 I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

#9 I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone.

#10 People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

#11 I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

#12 I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Another Mikey

If that Dumbass Bush really thinks the NYT article about digging into bank records violates national security, fuck him. He's really digging, here. When the hell will the 36 percent of dipshits in this country realize BUSH is a violation of national security?

Words are not Enough
