Twatwaffles Of The Week

And away we go.............................

Number Five:  Texas Rangers catcher Yorvit Torrealba who struck an umpire in the face during a heated argument about balls and strikes in a Venezuelan Winter League baseball game earlier this week.

Yorvit Torrealba Strikes Umpire During Argument

Torrelalba is well known and widely respected for playing the game with fire and passion; however, this behavior does not merely cross a line, it hurdles a line.  As the columnist in the attached link so correctly states, this was an ugly disgusting incident which will taint an otherwise stellar career. 

Number Four:  A thus far unidentified individual or group of individuals who spray painted Anti-Christian/Satanic graffiti, including "666" and an inverted cross, on the garage of a Bakersfield, CA family who have prominently displayed Christian themed Christmas decorations, including a "Happy Birthday, Jesus" sign on and around their home. 

Hate Graffiti Spray Painted On Home

Can't we all just get along?  Was this nation not founded on a basic principle of freedom of, and from, religion?  Can we not let everyone celebrate the religion, or lack thereof, of their choice without behaving in this type of repulsive manner?  Dear readers, when will we learn to celebrate our few differences instead of persecuting each other over them?

Number Three:  State Governments across America, who during recent budget crunches, have slashed funding for services for the mentally ill.  The end result, of course, has been a flood of mentally ill patients into emergency rooms throughout the country.

Mentally Ill Flood ERs As States Cut Services

Isn't this just par for the course, folks?  Times get tough; but instead of trying to implement difficult, deep budget cuts, state lawmakers prefer to cut services for the most misunderstood, feared, and stigmatized patients in the health care system.  Economic hardships such as job losses, foreclosures, and the like lead to an increase psychotic breaks, so the logical thing to do is cut services for the mentally ill, right?  Pitiful.  They should be ashamed of themselves.  Just once I would like to see the powerful instead of the powerless bear the brunt of the results of hard times.

Number Two:  Roy Allen Ostergren, 34, who was wanted out of Texas for aggravated assault on his common law wife. Authorities say Ostergren beat his wife with a baseball bat, wrapped a chain around her neck and dragged her behind his truck on December 12th.  He was tracked to Northern California and arrested in Oroville.

As if the whole baseball bat beating, dragging behind the car thing weren't bad enough, Ostergren is also accused to of sneaking into his wife's hospital room and attacking her again while she was recovering from her injuries.  Assuming these allegations are true, you, sir, are a twatwaffle extraordinaire!

Number One:  Paul Daniel Kunzler, 34, of Taylorsville, UT, who was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of two counts of rape of a child, three counts of sodomy of a child and three counts of sexual abuse of a child.  His four-month "relationship" with a 13 year old girl was discovered after a bizarre incident at the man's house in which one of his housemates was shot by a third housemate who was reportedly trying to shoot a mouse in his kitchen with a 9mm handgun, according to investigators.

Talk about everything happening for a reason!!!!!  Unbelievable!!!!!!  I say it week in and week out, friends and frenemies, I don't make this stuff up.  I just report it for your amazement.

Peace, Love, and Happy Holidays, my brothers and sisters.
