Things I never thought I'd read...

I'm browsing the news today, and I've noticed an interesting trend- a series of articles that honestly, I never could have imagined reading.

It started with the school teacher Scott Porter - class subject is important here, ANGER MANAGEMENT- who began messing around with a student, and for some unknown reason put the kid in a head lock, told him to 'tap out' or else 'something gets broke' and then... wait for it... broke the kid's finger. The kid claims the finger was broken AFTER he tapped out.

Then there was the bad employee who was afraid she was losing her job after seeing an add in the employment section of the newspaper for a job similar to hers and with a contact number that she knew was her bosses. Marie Lupe Cooley decided that if she was going to get canned, she had every right to make some trouble first.
So, police say, she went to the architectural office where she works late Sunday night and erased 7 years' worth of drawings and blueprints, estimated to be worth $2.5 million.

Now, the problem with this grand plan is that not only did she commit a crime, but that she wasn't really going to loss her job. Turns out, the ad was for a position with her boss' wife's company after all. But, between you and me... I'm just wondering if anyone had pointed it out to her that SHE was looking through employment ads, which normally is done when someone is looking for a job. Ironic?

And the winner of bad behavior in today's headlines has to be Richmond County Deputy Coroner Charlena Graham. Seems that he puts faith in the notion that the dead can't take anything with them... so the living might as well plunder whatever the dead have.
Authorities went into a motel room on Dec. 31 after getting reports of gunshots, a sheriff's report said. In the room, deputies found a 29-year-old woman dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A handgun was in the woman's hand and a handwritten note lay nearby, the report says.

Family reports cards missing
Personal items from the woman were turned over to Graham, including five gift cards for Macy's, Target, Victoria's Secret and a local steak house, according to Sheriff Ronnie Strength. Authorities later learned from the woman's family that some gift cards might have been missing, he said. The total value of the gift cards was about $400.

Investigators recovered videotapes of Graham using the gift cards at local stores, the sheriff said.


Yep, it's clear, people are stupid.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...
