News Item From WIBW

I came across this today, from WIBW, in Topeka, Kansas. I'll toss out the whole article here:

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Kansans have told a state official that they
want hundreds of laws taken off the books.Dennis Taylor, known as the state's "repealer'' says he has
received hundreds of suggestions on which state laws[Image] should be
repealed - ranging those regulating lynching to a recent smoking
ban. [Image] Taylor, who is head of the Kansas Department of Administration,
told lawmakers Monday that he would report to Gov. Sam Brownback[Image] on his findings soon. Brownback will make recommendations to the
Legislature on which laws to repeal.Taylor says another law that has drawn several comments - both
positive and negative - is one allowing the eradication of prairie
dogs.The Lawrence Journal-World reports (http://bit.ly/vsW5rK) that
Taylor received his suggestions from a public tour and on an agency
website.

I read this article, written by Giang Nguyen, a few minutes ago. I just have one question..........Laws regulating LYNCHING? WTF?

Here's the link.

Will This Toy Appear Under Your Tree?

Hahahaha! This is unbelievable! Here's a cussing doll, available at department stores near you! It really says something that sounds like, "You crazy bitch"! I feel kinda sorry for the merchants, who are gonna have to give out lots of refunds, and probably send the dolls they still have back to the vendors for credit. That's always a bummer. Unless, of course, there's a sudden demand for such toys, thanks to people with warped senses of humor............fifty or sixty years from now, someone will prolly walk into a place like the pawn shop on Pawn Stars and ask for thousands of dollars for one of these cussing dolls!

Julia Biryukova; Just When I Thought I Had Heard It All

This has me stunned! Police in Washington took some pictures of two year old Sky Metalwala, who went missing earlier this month, from Julia Biryukova, Sky's mom, only to hear Sky's dad, Solomon Metalwala, exclaim, "This is not Sky, this is Maile!" I think we can now openly challenge the notion that this mom is cooperating with the police in the efforts to find her missing child.

Just this month, we have had national and global headlines dominated not only by Sky Metalwala, but  Lisa Irwin, missing from Kansas city, Missouri; and Tyler Dasher, a St. Louis, Missouri baby who was beaten to death by his mother last week because he wouldn't stop crying. We have also heard from the media about Bishop Robert Finn, also of Missouri, obstructing justice by giving away a computer with kiddie porn in it's hard drive, rather than giving it to police as asked; and, of course, Penn State, with it's shining examples of morality, such as Sandusky and Paterno.

It's insulting enough to be held in contempt by a criminal who wants to appear holy and sweet, like Bishop Robert Finn, but at least it's possible, since he has gotton away with his kiddie porn crimes, to simply discontinue any misguided church attendance and stay away from him. At least the media did not ignore him, even though his mug does not appear on the sex offender registries. He has effectively demonstrated that despite the law, it is not necessary to cooperate with police. But while that type of obstruction of justice is insulting, a mom who not only refuses to cooperate with law enforcement to find her missing child, but delibately misleads all of us by showing us pictures of a different child when asked to show pictures of the child who is missing is completely unimaginable. There have been some slimy people in the news lately, but this really might top the charts. I wonder what else we will hear about Julia Biryukova.

"They" thought the Hula Painted Frog was extinct, because no one had seen one for fifty years. "They" were wrong. This one was photographed the day before yesterday.

Lisa Irwin's Family Moves Back, Brother Blake Might Move Out

The mother of Jeremy Irwin's son, Blake, has filed for custody of her son. Hopefully, she will win, and this will get him away from media circus that seems to be following his dad and his dad's girlfriend, Debbie Bradley, ever since their daughter, Lisa, went missing on October 3. This is probably the best way to bring some peace and stability back into this little boy's life, and hopefully remove the influence of Daddio shacking up with a drunken, uneducated woman who is still married to someone else. Seriously.......if any of my children were court ordered to live in a situation such as that, I would have been fighting it, tooth and nail, a long time ago. Also, if this child witnessed anything on the night of October third that could help law enforcement find his sister, testifying might be a lot easier if he lives with his mom, and does not have to live in the situation from which his sister disappeared.

Of course, Debbie and Jeremy's lawyer, Joe Tacopina (or was that Tacobella?) has put a truly crazy spin on this. First of all, he wants us to know that Blake's mom has not seen him in six years. But.....she lost custody of him in 2008. I went over this several times, and no matter how many times I count it up, it adds up to three years, or possibly three years and some months, not six! The next part of the spin is even weirder; Tacobella thinks that child support and custody are the SAME issue! Well.....he says he thinks that. He prolly doesn't really think that, though. He says that Blake's mom can't have Blake because she she owes child support? Guess what, Taco.......A child is not an item in a store, on layaway, that one can only take home after paying the purchase price! Child support, and custody and vistation, are two completely separate things. Whatever happened to the child's best interest?

I sincerely hope Missouri does not force this little boy to stay in a home that was obviously not safe for his little sister. It looks to me like the worst that can happen here is that Debbie Bradley will be down one person in her home when she applies for food stamps and other benefits, and Jeremy will have one less deduction when he does his taxes next year.

Just Say No

This is truly amazing. Bishop Robert Finn, thanks, I'm sure, to his four lawyers paid for by his parishoners, (does the Catholic church have a special fund for when it's leadership gets caught with pants down?) has worked out a deal with the prosecuting attorney in Kansas City, Missouri that allows him to avoid jail time, future court dates, and having his picture grace the sex offender registry as long as he checks in with the prosecuting attorney once a month for five years and reports any inapproriate or illegal conduct he sees between children and priests in his diocese! Why....of course! Here it is, curtesy of Reuters:

"Finn agreed to report monthly directly to Clay County Prosecuting Attorney Daniel White, and to "apprise him of any and all reported suspicious or alleged abuse activities involving minors" throughout the diocese's Clay County facilities, the prosecutor's office said."

Bishop Finn (along with the rest of us) is required to report things like crimes against children, internet kiddie porn, aquisition, sale, and creation of internet kiddie porn, along with human trafficking and the occasional molestation that apparently goes on here and there in church, to the police anyway. The court should not have to extend him an engraved invitation to do so. In the past, Finn actually gave a computer containing kiddie porn away in order to conceal it from law enforcement. In anyone else's world, this is called "tampering with evidence" or "obstruction of justice", but apparently, not in church. How can sheeple seriously remain brainwashed concerning this? Hasn't research shown that sexual predators never change?

But let me avoid picking exclusively on Catholics. Just a few miles away, in Lawrence Kansas, we have what appears to be a Lutheran problem. Christopher McCormack, a Lutheran youth pastor, just got thirty days behind bars for sexual misconduct with someone who was not old enough to consent. It would seem that Christian pastors in the Midwest are able to hide all kinds of things behind their frocks and computer screens. Luckily, I have already taught my children to say "no" to Jesus.

Another Monday, Another Cold Case For Terri Horman

It's Monday again, the day that I like to tell Terri Horman, step parent and defacto suspect (her lawyer's words, not mine) in the disappearance of Kyron Horman, who went missing from his school in Portland, Oregon, after a science fair on June 4, 2010, about a cold case from American history that got solved, to everyone's surprise. This one is about someone snatched her own child, in defiance of a court order, and interferred with her son's dad's visitation. Her name is Shannon Wilfong, and she and her mother, Diana Dobbs, actually got away with hiding a child in their Illinois home, only letting him go outside at night, keeping him away from all of his peers and friends, and giving him a crawl space in the wall as a bedroom, for two years!

Shannon and Diana were both charged with custodial interference and obstruction of justice, and both found guilty. Shannon only spent a year in jail, and they were each fined only one thousand dollars......so it looks like a crime against a child is not even as serious as taking a bong hit in Illinois......but the point of this message is this, Terri; that whole situation was stopped by an ANONYMOUS TIP. Someone saw something that did not look right. Is there anything at all going on, that you know about, that may.........ahem.......fit that description? Because, seriously; I don't think you, all by your lonesome, had the time or means to injure or kill anyone on June 4 of 2010. I think something else happened. And I think it was planned, too. If not, it never would have been pulled off so seamlessly, leaving no clues. And I also think that you know your family, extended family, all of their friends, and the rest of your community well enough to assist in the efforts to locate Kyron. Your refusal to say a word that might lead to his return is what makes you look so guilty to the rest of us. Think about it.
