Elizabeth Smart
Elizabeth Smart Found Alive in Utah:
Who says there are no miracles anymore? Thank God she was found alive and in relatively good shape.
What makes me sick though is as soon as she was found, the creepers started hitting the web looking for inappropriate pictures of her. For those of you who were searching for these pics, I hope the FBI busts your door down in the middle of the night.

CDC School Shooting Study
CDC: Most school shooters get guns from home:
Your tax dollars at work, people. This is all well and good. Parents should keep their guns locked up and away from children. On the other hand, it’s not addressing the underlying problem. Why are these kids grabbing the guns in the first place? Not until the parents and the schools address this problem will school shootings stop.

Mr. Rogers 1928-2003
It’s hard to believe he’s gone. Some things you just think will be around forever. He may have been too sappy for some, but there was a time when I was really young that Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood were my universes.
Who can forget the Trolley and King Friday XIII and Speedy Delivery? Fred Rogers wasn’t just a TV show host, either. He was a well-rounded and learned individual in the field of child welfare. And how many of us have started singing the song when we were either changing shoes or putting on a sweater?
Now cancer has taken him away from us and from the children. The way things are today, we could really use him. Today, the neighborhood will never be the same.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Rogers family and all of those who grew up with him.

Didn’t this war end?
Lincoln statue ignites Confederate passion:
Thanks to Tongue Tied for the link. I’ve talked about this before the crash happened. Anyway, it made the news again for some reason. The National Park Service wants to put a statue of Abraham Lincoln on a historic Civil War site in Richmond, Virginia. The problem is, Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy, and some people still think it still is.
According to the article, “confederate heritage” groups have their white hoods in a twist over the Lincoln statue being placed in Richmond. They compare it to an Osama bin Laden statue being put in New York. Say what? First of all, Lincoln didn’t crash a plane into a building full of thousands of people. Secondly, he won the war and freed the slaves. They should be able to put his statue anywhere they want.
A member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans had this to say…
“The Confederate states never forgave Lincoln for the harshness of the Union Army’s bloody march through the South, which left Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley devastated and Atlanta and Columbia, S.C., in cinders. The statue, he said, “is a not-so-subtle reminder of who won the war, and who our heroes should be.”
First of all, the war ended roughly 140 years ago. Secondly, there is no Confederacy anymore. It ceased to exist the minute that Robert E. Lee surrendered. Basically, if you oppose a statue of Lincoln, you might as well just come right out and say that you’re in favor of slavery. And don’t give me crap about the Civil War being about states’ rights. It was about SLAVERY. That states’ rights argument is just so people don’t think you’re actually in the Klan.
And speaking of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, if you’re forming a group like that, why don’t you just from Sons of Nazi Veterans while you’re at it. They lost a war too. Get over it you dumb, ignorant, racist white trash, hicks.

The Perfect Memorial
“Mr. Perfect ” Curt Hennig found dead:
I’ve been watching Curt Hennig wrestle since his last days in the AWA. I remember him teaming with Scott Hall before he became Razor Ramon. Then he came to the WWF as a heel, calling himself Mr. Perfect. That’s when I started rooting for bad guys.
One of the greatest matches I ever saw was at King of The Ring. I believe it was the final round match. It was Curt Hennig vs. Bret “The Hitman” Hart. This match blew away almost every match I had seen until then. As a matter of fact, I was watching that PPV with my then-girlfriend. She kept rooting for Bret Hart so much that I eventually had to put her in The Sharpshooter. She was a little too plump for the Perfectplex.
I even got to see him live at a couple of house shows in Philly. Not only was he phenomenal on TV, but he was even better live. I don’t remember who he wrestled. That’s how good he was.
But the unfortunate thing in all this was there were rumors that Curt Hennig partied hard. It was alleged that his partying was what led to his being released by the WWE this past year. I seriously hope that’s not what caused his death, but I’ll be surprised if it’s not. He also left behind a wife and children. My condolences go out to the Hennig family.

There’s no “P” in Team
Police Investigate Hazing at High School:
Thanks to Bad Jocks for the link. So, three high school basketball players have been suspended for hazing underclassmen. I’m surprised they actually got suspended. Here’s the best part, though. The hazing consisted of hitting, SPANKING, (wait, it gets better) and URINATING on other players.
I never understood the jock mentality. They tend to be the most homophobic group of people, yet they engage in activities like sodomizing people with foreign objects like bananas and such, tea-bagging, shaving people’s crotches, and now urinating on other men. And you know, I’m sure the players’ parents say it was just harmless fun.
Any parent who is trying to get their kids interested in sports should read half the articles I do before making a decision. Or else they’ll come home one day either sodomized or the sodomist. It’s your choice.

Shave but no haircut
Principal to decide hazing incident outcome:
Thanks to BadJocks for the link. So, is there an epidemic of student athletes that are repressed homosexuals that take their anger out on those weaker than them?
This time we have two high school wrestlers, one weighing 275 lbs., pinned a 120 lb. male cheerleader against a locker, took off his pants and shaved his groinal area with an electric razor. What makes it stick in my craw, as usual, is that the principal hasn’t yet decided his punishment. What’s to decide? Throw his ass out of school. That’s assault at the least. An argument could probably be made for sexual assault.
At first, the wrestlers were left off with a warning before they got suspended for 10 days. But of course, some parents are outraged because a precious wrestler who may be wrestling in state finals is being punished. The attorney for the buckethead said that there were 3 other sexual assaults at the school that only resulted in suspensions of 3 days or less. And that the only reason this is being made an issue is that his client is a championship wrestler. Then, obviously there is something wrong with the school system.
Luckily, the police have gotten involved. But more than likely, he’ll get off with a fine and be allowed to wrestle and complete his “education”. Meanwhile, a smaller kid has to live with this trauma for the rest of his life. If there were any justice in the world, all these jocks who like to haze by teabagging, sodomizing, and now shaving, would be thrown in jail. Then maybe they will know what it’s like to carry that trauma around.

Only this and nothing more…
Baltimore: The mystery of the ‘Poe Toaster’:
That settles it. Next year I’m going to Baltimore. It’s a good thing Poe died in January. How lame would it be if this happened in July?

Sodomy is ok as long as you’re affiliated with a church
Hazing Charged Dropped on Technicality:
Thanks to BadJocks for the link.
Remember the hazing incident at Methodist College in Fayetteville, NC? You know the one. Sodomy with a Sharpie. Well, the charges have been dropped after lawyers argued the charges violated the separation of church and state.
According to the article, since the school is a religious institution, the campus police cannot enforce state law. What the hell kind of reasoning is that? If you follow that logic, then priests can molest all sorts of kids as long as it’s on church property.
Why do I get the feeling the judge hearing this case is an ex-jock? These kids should be in jail for rape, point-blank.
