World of Suck

From the Canadian Press:

CAMROSE, Alta. — Two 16-year-old Alberta boys who admitted to breaking into a neighbour's house, putting the family cat in a microwave and then watching it cook to death have been sentenced to one year of probation and 100 hours of community service.

. . .

“The cat was screaming in the microwave for 10 minutes while it was essentially cooked to death,” said Crown prosecutor John Laluk.

“What makes it worse is they not only tortured the cat, but they wanted to torture the family. This was a deliberate attempt to inflict pain on the homeowners.”

. . .

But the most disturbing crime was described in a felt-pen scrawl on the kitchen window and cabinets: “You had a nice cat” and “it's in the microwave.”

Inside was the family's pet, Princess.

And a year PROBATION and 100 hrs of community service are their sentences? What kind of namby pamby punishment is that? Oh wait, they can't have a pet for two years and one family has to give up its dog - boo fucking hoo.

Chris Millsap, the other defence lawyer, described his client as a gifted musician who plays in the church band.

“There's no explanation ... for such a heinous crime,” said Mr. Millsap. “He's a very good kid who did something very wrong.”

Umm, yeah. I don't define a kid that can listen to and participate in a cat being cooked to death "very good".

If it was my cat, I'm not so sure I would be willing to sit by and see light sentences like this. The mastermind behind this will likely kill a human at some point in the future - that will likely get someone's attention.

There were five boys total involved and Mr. Millsap says they all have "life sentence" due to the stigma of the incident. One of the boys family has moved away. Again, boo fucking hoo. I'm sure Princess's family will be stricken for the rest of their life with the memory of what they saw when they came home from vacation.

I posted the following little gem on my Myspace:

"Ever have a day, week, month, hell, fucking lifetime, where you feel like a mushroom? You know, where you are fed a lot of bullshit and kept in the dark?

Will someone, ANYONE, tell me what is going on? No one seems equipped or willing to give me a straight answer. And if I get annoyed or ask questions, I'm a bitch, pain in the ass, ...

Just wish I could find a light switch and blind everyone with all the hypocrisy!"

Pretty straight forward - deliberately non-specific, but straight forward. Am I pissy? Sure, and I think I have plenty of reasons for my grouchiness. But one of the folks on my friend's list assumed that it was about one specific thing. Was that thing a factor? You betcha. Only factor? Nope.

Now repeat after me "When you ASSUME you make an ASS out of U and ME."

By the way, it was refreshing to get an answer and getting a few things "verified". Even though I was told how much I suck it was far better than the silent treatment.

Searches... Searching... To Search...
and not find...

Ok, for some of the people who keep typing in the same searches and coming up with our site here's a few clues to help you on your way:

1. "mom suck"

What does this mean really? Your mom sucks? As in she's a nefarious shrew that causes you angst? C'mon be more specific it might help.

2. henbane perfect world

Not sure what you were searching for with this one, was it lyrics perhaps?

3. getting fuck and suck by ronda

While I have to admire the specific-ness of the search (Hi Ronda!) I'm even more pleased that it turned up one of our posts: "State Sen. Ronda Storms - Butt Monkey". Bless you Google, bless you.

4. virgin sex is dull nothing special

Well, a little jaded there aren't we? I have to presume however the good news is that things can only be looking up after that...

5. "jdk vs sdk" and different between jdk and sdk

HELLO SUN - PEOPLE ARE STILL ASKING THE SAME DAMN QUESTION, GET A CLUE!!! No one really knows the difference, maybe you need to pick one or the other, or finally define the difference eh?

6. girls needing to pee stuck in traffic

I sympathize. Anyone stuck in traffic needing to pee is pretty much SOL unless they're really creative (I know some guy who had his wife hold a cup to pee into it and then huck it out the window only to have it splash back at her), or utterly desperate. It's even worse when you're at a complete halt and there's no, repeat NO cover at all. And you're in the middle lane. Personally I try to think violent thoughts.

7. office 2007 sucks

Yes. Yes it does. No more questions on that one.

and finally 8. engine shut off when burning out

Personally I think shutting things off when they're burning is a really good idea.

Next question?

Most people can remember when Lloyd Bensen bitch slapped Quayle with the old "Senator you're no Jack Kennedy" zinger.

*chuckle* Ahh, good times.

Well it's time for the reprise in the form of "Palin? She ain't no Hillary." Sorry, nope. She hasn't the education, the experience, the background or the (ahem) balls to be Hillary. Hell she couldn't even pull off the Orange Jumpsuit if it were Gitmo if you ask me.

What she does have is Brittany-eque news. Clearly a fabu-mom who could edumacate her daughter into avoiding teen pregnancy (but wait! the daughter is going to marry the father... of course they're not saying *which* father). Next up watch while Palin's daughter goes into detox, gets a skeevy PR manager and her ex-husband gets the VP of the US pregnant!

Boring.

Anyway someone needs to tell Mr McCain that women just don't get elected, no matter who they are, no matter if the fucking sun shines out their arse. I guess he doesn't remember Mondale and Geraldine. The fact is that a man - ANY man is more electable than a woman.

Women didn't get the right to vote in the US until after black men. And the road to the president is fraught with parallels...

Yet another example of people being a mite bit sensitive . . . and taking things the wrong way . . .

SACRAMENTO — Colusa County officials are defending their display at the California State Fair after a black couple complained that a caricature of a smiling watermelon seed was racist.

The "Waldo Watermelon Seed" drawing was removed this week after the couple said the image evoked negative stereotypes about blacks.

The exhibit was intended to celebrate Colusa County's seed-producing crops, which generate $30 million a year.

Margaret Kemp-Williams, deputy counsel for Colusa County, says it was drawn by wards at a county juvenile hall where the population is roughly 40 percent black and 40 percent Hispanic.

The wards created a display honoring watermelon, cucumber, pumpkin and tomato seeds. Kemp-Williams says each seed was depicted true to its real color.

Veronica Hannon Thrasher and her husband objected to the "Waldo Watermelon" caricature, which they said looked like "a happy black slave eating watermelon."

The county attorney said the wards had wrongly been cast "under a cloud of unintended racism."

Colusa is a rural county northwest of the state capital.

Said it before, so I'll keep it short and simple.

When scientists say it's a theory, that doesn't mean it's untested. Common usage and scientific usage of the word are different. Scientific theories don't become scientific laws. Theories explain laws.

Quick example: The Law of Gravity describes HOW matter attracts other matter. The Theory of Gravity explains WHY matter attracts other matter.

Really, a law is a statement of fact. Not that great an accomplishment, except in it's precision. Seriously, how big of a deal is it to say that what goes up must come down, right? But a theory... that's a big deal. That's a lot more complicated. It's an explanation for all given evidence, supported by tests, experimentation , and observation, for why something occurs the way it does.

It's not just a theory. More like... 'Holy Crap! It's a Theory!'

Seriously, I blame the deficient education system for not making this clear to every school kid.
