First, a Dicknozzle of Douchebaggery: The mainstream media, who seems to think that Maria Shriver filing for divorce from Arnold Schwarzenegger, is big, big news. So big, in fact, that I got not one, not two, but three breaking news alerts from three different media outlets over it today.
Arnold And Maria Are Divorcing? Can I Get A "Who Cares"?
I've included a link to CNN's story about this in case you are one of the six people who haven't already been bombarded with "news" about it, but seriously, does the media have nothing else to cover?
Number Five: The life guards and managers at a public swimming pool in Massachusetts, as well as three local health inspectors, who were involved in a situation where a woman's body, yes, her dead body, went undetected at the bottom of the pool until it decomposed enough to float to the surface.
A second Dicknozzle of Douchebaggery goes to a nine year old neighbor and his family who went to the pool with the deceased. It seems the nine year old and the victim collided while playing on a slide at the pool, but either no one noticed, or cared, that the little boy surfaced but the victim did not.
Hey, Where Is Our Neighbor? Eh, Who Cares? Let's Go For Ice Cream.
Seriously? Again, folks, I don't make this stuff up. I just report it.
Number Four: Governor and potential presidential candidate, Rick Perry (R-TX) who is will host a prayer summit at Reliant Stadium in Houston. The event, dubbed "The Response" and funded by the American Family Association (which was labeled a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center). It isn't so much Gov. Perry being involved in some type of prayer gathering. Obviously, he has to kowtow to the Christian Right that controls the Republican Party. It is more allowing himself to be associated with this group, which is known for, among other things, these lovely tidbits:
- At this event only Christians will be allowed to share the podium with Perry.
- Only Christians will be permitted to speak at the non-denominational event. If representatives of other faiths (particularly Muslims) were to be included, such inclusion would promote "idolatry."
- The American Family Association's issues director has said that gays are "Nazis" and that Muslims should be converted to Christianity. Another organizer, Doug Stringer, has said that 9/11 was God's punishment for the nation's creeping secularism.
- Jay Swallow, whose endorsement is trumpeted on The Response's website, and who runs "A Christian Military Training Camp for the purpose of dealing with the occult and territorial enemy strong holds in America".
Yeah, those are just the kind of folks you ought to associating with to prove that you could be a president for ALL Americans. Nice work, Governor.
Number Three: The housekeeper in the Dominique Strauss-Kahn sexual assault case, who it would seem has serious credibility issues not only with her accusations about Strauss-Kahn, but also what she put on her tax forms and even her asylum application. The alleged victim told "substantial lies about her own background and the facts of this case." While the charges still stand, Strauss-Kahn has been released from house arrest.
It Is All About The "He Said; She Said"...............
Okay, folks, this is another of my pet peeves. You know how I rail about there being no excuses for sexual assault and rape, right? Well, there is also no excuse for someone bringing false accusations of such a heinous crime against anyone. While we don't know if that is what happened, the whole matter is starting to smell bad. We will have to watch this matter closely and see how it plays out.
Number Two: Andrew Lalos, 34, a Cawley Middle School music teacher near Hooksett, NH, who was arrested on sexual assault charges after he allegedly had a sexual relationship with a student in 2005. Police accused Lalos of having sex with the victim, who police said was between the ages of 13 and 17 at the time, on Dec. 16, 2005 -- Lalos' 29th birthday. Investigators said Lalos had the girl perform sex acts between Sept. 5 and Dec. 16 at Memorial School and Cawley Middle School.
Sicko Teacher Has Sex With Underage Student
Once again, friends and frenemies, it is bad enough when males sexually assault females, but when a teacher, or any other person of authority, takes advantage of someone under their sphere of influence, it is absolutely stomach churning.
Number One: Barry Winters, 60, who will be charged with first degree murder for pouring gasoline on Evelyn Spodnik, a 57 year old elementary school teacher, and lighting her on fire. Spodnik succumbed to her injuries last Friday.
Burned Teacher Dies Of Her Injuries
Again, I don't make this stuff up. I just report it. The only good news, if you can call it that, is that Winters was also severely burned in the fire that resulted from his unspeakably cruel and heartless actions. While a part of me would just as soon this animal die as well, another part of me would like to see him suffer through a lengthy and agonizing recovery, followed by a lifelong incarceration where he can spend the rest of his years looking at his own scars while the screams of his victim echo in his ears.
Peace and love, my brothers and sisters.
