the craigslist killer supposedly tried to kill himself. now despite the fact that i am against the death penalty i just can't get too worked up over someone trying to kill themselves. i don't know. i don't mean it doesn't matter to me. it just seems like an infringement on freedom for it to be illegal. as a moral/religious principal my rede is "an it harm none do as you will" which includes harming yourself. but law and religion/morality are separate. sputter cough sputter - sorry, had trouble saying that with a straight face living in this time of the zealot. but anyway, it SHOULD be separate.
i'm a big fan of legalizing victimless crimes - drugs, prostitution, suicide. ah, but all things work on supply and demand and if we focused only on those crimes that hurt more than the perpetrator the jails would let go nearly 70% of their occupants. and with fewer occupants there would be jobs lost. if you think i'm being sarcastic or speaking in hyperbole. i'm not.
okay so i just watched a half hour of news and pretty much 27 minutes of it is time i will never get back. a woman and her daughter tipped in a kayak; a teenage girl sent someone a nude photo of herself on the phone and the boy she sent it to sent it to a gazillion other people; how to make codfish cakes . . . i mean really people. how's iraq going? hell, how's unemployment going? anything on the shovel ready front. seriously! goddess bless NPR. anyhooo the three minutes that were interesting - federal institutions have ignored unclaimed moneys (you know missingmoney.com) totaling about 10million dollars. they'll hammer a friend of mine to prove a couple of thousand.
okay now a truck overturned because of high winds and the anchorwoman (when did they become models??) just said "that's what ya get" LE SIGH! anyone still confused about why my mother told me to stop watching the news.
so i'm going to watch bring it on instead - - love love love each and every one of those movies. so tonight, i'll leave you with a little something different (i had such a hard time picking just one)
If we're gonna be the best, we have to have the best. Missy's the poo,
so take a big whiff!

that's why i am adicted to the radio- no need to watch; it just soaks in.
as for CLK, i don't want him to kill himself becuase i want him to suffer for what he did to those girls.
a) never runout w/o your pimp/boyfreind/driver/muscle, but
b) getting raped and robbed and killed for petty cash?
that guy shouldn't be allowed to kill himslef. he should suffer our justice system; that's far worse.
also, hooray for anchorbettys! they singlehandly keep yellow journalism alive!
and they wonder why the internet sort of took of, gee.
PS what do you think of the "sextibg" = child porn charges for teenagers thing?
curious to hear your thoughts, etc.
Hmm.
The big news story here was an 11 month old was eaten by a pit bull.
What I would give for an overturned kayak.
It sounds like you were watching local news. You were lucky to get 3 minutes of "other parts of the world" news. Try msnbc or cnn for the gory news from around the world. I can't stand to watch the news anymore. All I see is how sensationalized everything is, and I really don't need to know the horrors happening in other countries anyway. Ignorance is bliss, right? I watch local news for 2 minutes every morning to catch the weather, the cute weather man, and to make sure nothing abominable happened overnight.
