Tuesday 12/26/06

It's time to review True Crime for the year 2006.

If it was a stupid criminal, a bizarre crime and, of course, the major True Crimes, it's covered on this Blog post.

We have, of course, plenty of links to posts on that Duke rape as I've dutifully documented all the events since it happened.

Then there's the horrific Colorado and Amish school shootings. And please don't forget pervert Mark Karr or the idiot who delivered him to us, John Ramsey.

And Neil Entwistle killed his wife and baby then fled to England. His trial will be coming up soon and we've got it all covered.

TRUE CRIME YEAR 2006 IN REVIEW

Wednesday 12/27/06

We're going to review the year 2006 in Political Tidbits and we've covered most everything.

We begin with the new Jesus Christ, Superstar-Barack Obama. Let us not forget poor Mark Foley who got run out of town and office when he committed no crime.

Remember those fake Mideast pics? Oh, and Tookie Williams...he's dead now.

Also, it was covered on this Blog back when it happened but the trial is coming up soon. I speak of the travesty of Haditha.

All this and more in this Blog post which covers the entire year in politics.

The year 2006 in review for a lot of subjects in this Blog Post.

First, plenty of Book Reviews, including "Heart Full of Lies", "Bitter Harvest", "Every Breath You Take" by Ann Rule.

A Guest Writer compilation included as well and we have microwaved teddy bears, dogs lost and Honda Hybrids.

Of course the Blog's namesake, Kaitlyn Mae, got a year older this past year and we've got documentation of her hilarious career choice now that she's all of three years old, her Halloween kitty costume and her first overnight visit to Mom Mom.

Finally, some Delaware posts including a review of a local theater's presentation of "It's a Wonderful Life" and a restaurant review for "Jake's Seafood".

Much more.

Lots of weird and unusual, blind items-ASKED and GUESSED-all embellished by my fine, somewhat sarcastic, commentary.

Quote(s) of the Week

Classic Quotes by Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) U.S. industrialist and philanthropist

"And while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department."
-------------------------

"As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do."
-------------------------

"Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket."
-------------------------

"Concentration is my motto - first honesty, then industry, then concentration."
-------------------------

Monday 12/18/06

Been catching up on some old and not so old movies during this Christmas TV nothing season.

This week, a review of "Cheaper by the Dozen -2".

As a child I loved the book. I'm not at all sure Steve Martin captures the spirit of the book's character.

And a short touch on a movie about those Australian parents whose baby was killed by a dingo. The movie did not deal at all do that possible True Crime in terms of parents as perpetrators rather than a dingo.

BLOG POST HERE 12/18/06

Tuesday 12/19/06

It's time for some True Crime. An acting Baldwin is arrested and it's not the first time.

Hey folks, isn't it time someone put that Duke rape prosecution to rest? I've some ideas on why no one's doing anything to stop this travesty of justice.

Dr. Death, AKA Dr. Kevorkian, soon to be out on parole, soon to kill again. Dear Dr. Kevorkian isn't as noble as many think he is.

Either a pet ferret or a puppy chewed off an infant's toes and no one knows what to charge the neglectful parents with or even which animal did the deed.

Finally, she tried to save her husband's most private part AFTER he was dead. Did you know this was against the law?

TRUE CRIME UPDATE 12/19/06

Wednesday 12/20/06

Time for some Political Tidbits and we can't resist the Barack Obama story about those big ears. He doesn't want the press talking about his big ears. Which means it will be all I must talk about up until he is elected President.

Got some scams involving politicians, now a NY Senator who stole charity money can you believe? And famous skid row has a neat little food stamps scam going on, God Bless Us Taxpayers who pay for this.

An update on Tim Johnson and his stroke implications and a political cartoon bound to make you smile.

Bah, humbug.

Political Tidbits 12/20/06

Friday 12/22/06

It's Pop Culture Update time and folks, Princess Di…the driver was drunk, the tunnel was dangerous, they had on no seatbelts and were going on almost 100 mph.

Time to put on our common sense hats and look into what might be behind this constant attempt to blame the wayward princesses' death on conspiracies.

Jennifer Aniston caught topless again, Sharon Stone causes an international incident and yes, the guy really got drunk and fell asleep on the railroad tracks.

Pop Culture Update 12/22/06

Monday 12/11/06

Gotta DVR folks and plan reviewing some really old movies.

This week we've got a newer offering in the form of that infamous prime time girly show known as the "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show".

Indeed these scantily clad models parade the runway. The lingerie features every sort of fantasy known...well man. Er, make that "male".

It's a bit of a hoot but we're not fooled. We know risque when we see it, even during prime time.

And a review of the "40 Year Old Virgin", a movie almost not as ridiculous as its title might sound.

It had its moments.

CLICK HERE 12/11/06

Tuesday 12/12/06

Time for some True Crime and there's some true crime percolating under the radar which we must visit.

First, what's behind that shooting of the NY Bridegroom? There's way more to this story than being reported. And some notes on the politicos getting involved in this sticky matter.

And how about that mall terrorist no one in the Lamestream media is talking about? Yes, in fact he IS a Muslim.

This week, we've got a STUPID VICTIM, yes we do.

How about those parents who kidnapped their own daughter to prevent her wedding?

A hero mayor, a criminal steals to impress her boyfriend, and hey, the Judge let him go and surprise, surprise...he killed again.

Good comment on that Las Vegas Controller murder.

True Crime Update 12/12/06

Wednesday 12/13/06

Some Political Tidbits and this week, what with the politicos busy awarding committee memberships to their friends, we've got a few lighthearted notes on the political scene.

Which is not to discount my very serious discussion of superstar Barak Obama and the one thing that will surely shoot him dead as to his political future.

Updates on the Iraq Surrender Group, and Ted Kennedy's bash for Hillary and Obama. Heh.

And the four ladies in red who shook D.C. gossip mavens to their core.

Political Tidbits 12/13/06

Thursday 12/14/06

Guest Writer Michelle buys some new clothes without once consulting me re her fashion choices.

No offense as to the illustration, Michelle. Just couldn't resist.

And a Delaware post with a review of a local theater group's musical rendition of "It's a Wonderful Life", yes indeed, it's not a live musical.

CLICK HERE 12/14/06

Friday 12/15/06

Catching up on some holiday Pop Culture, we, of course, must discuss Gwynith Paltrow's attempts to bring snobbery to new heights.

A couple of surprises. One, a group nominated for a grammy surprises and next, why on earth was opera star Placido Domingo booed recently?

We've got a pic montage of very ordinary women transformed through the power of combs and makeup, to superstars.

Finally, heh, a new form of jellyfish discovered on the planet and you've just got to see what this creature looks like. It's real, I swear, but it resembles something very manlike.

Pop Culture Update 12/15/06

This Week-Monday-TV Tidbits-That shocking “20/20” show and the creeps that terrorized a young girl; Tuesday-True Crime-She microwaved her baby!

Quote(s) of the Week

Monday 12/4/06

Here's some TV tidbits.

This past Friday I watched a "20/20" episode I can't get out of my mind.

A young, vulnerable teen is forced to strip for an alleged search then for three hours is continually humiliated and forced to do unspeakable things.

This while her horrible boss at McDonald's allows it to go on although the teen begs her for mercy.

It really happened. And a whole bunch of people were so despicable, stupid and immoral that it boggles the mind.

And the real perpetrator walked off completely free.

Tuesday 12/5/06

Time for some True Crime and this week a couple gets brought up on terrorism charges for, ahem, making whoopie in an airplane.

For a woman really did, yes she did, she microwaved her baby.
True Crime Update 12/5/06

Wednesday 12/6/06

Some Political Tidbits and let's talk about that so-called "Iraq Study Group". Is it a political ploy or for real?

While on the subject, let's check in on what the Iraqs think. Oh, and the Iranian President writes Americans a personal letter, snort.

Mental patient threatens to castrate President Bush and what's John McCain doing at a Governor's conference?>

More on those airplane Imams and hey, exactly how many protesters were there in Beirut?

Finally, mine own fine rant on Walmart and the nuts who hate this very sucessful business. From a dedicated Walmart shopper, who would be me.
Political Tidbits 12/6/06

Thursday 12/7/06

Kaitlyn pays Mom-Mom a three day visit and hey, Mom-Mom is very tired.

But we baked cookies, took an amazing boat ride, and attended a Christmas celebration in Delaware's city of Seaford.

And goodness, you'll never guess what the child wants to be when she grows up!

Friday 12/8/06

Time for a bit of Pop Culture.

Danny DeVito…we have the video and I'll never quite forget the pride he showed at admitting that he and his wife wrecked the Lincoln Bedroom. During the Clinton reign this happened, of course.

We've got some blind items, a heroic rescue of a homeless man from the jaws of an alligator, and goodness, what's going to happen to the Wiggles now?

Finally, yes I do have a scathing opinion of Britney Spears and her crotch shots for attention.

Quote of the Day
Classic Quotes by Martin Van Buren (1782-1862) 8th President of the United States

"To avoid the necessity of a permanent debt and its inevitable consequences, I have advocated and endeavored to carry into effect the policy of confining the appropriations for the public service to such objects only as are clearly with the constitutional authority of the Federal Government."
-------------------------
"I tread in the footsteps of illustrious men... in receiving from the people the sacred trust confided to my illustrious predecessor."
-------------------------
"The less government interferes with private pursuits, the better for general prosperity"

TIDBITS

There is a dangerous new virus distributed Electronically. It is called the Worm Overload Recreation Killer (WORK). You can get WORK from your boss or colleagues. Do not touch it. The Virus will wipe out your Private Life.

If you come into contact with work, there are two antidotes. You can purchase Work Isolating Neutralizing Extract (WINE) or Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooted (BEER). They are available at your local Grocery Store. Take repeatedly until Work has been completely eliminated.

Forward this to five friends. If you do not have five friends, then you have been infected by WORK and it is controlling your life.

Windowsill Celery Hearts

Grow celery hearts on your windowsill this winter. It's easy and they're pretty and delicious. Next time you buy a stalk of celery, cut the heel off about an inch from the bottom. That is, cut across the stalk so you have a crosswise slice off the end. Then do what we used to do with avocado pits - stick a few toothpicks in the side, fill a glass almost to the top with water, and rest the celery heel with toothpicks on the rim of the glass so that the bottom of the heel is just touching the water. Keep the water at that level, and after a week or so, you'll have little celery hearts sprouting from the middle of the heel. They keep sprouting for weeks.

Book Reviews: "Irristible Impulse", "Every Breath You Take"

Two True Crime Book Reviews as the library beckoned.

One involves a wealthy Brit who murdered and beheaded his American wife.

The other is an Ann Rule novel, "Every Breath You Take".

HERE
~~~~~~~~~~

Ann Rule-"Evidence of Love"

Here's a Book Review of a very intriguing True Crime and a well-written one to boot.

Betty Gore was hacked to death with an axe. Many of the bloody blows were delivered AFTER Betty was dead.

Yet her murder was ruled "self-defense".

HERE
~~~~~~~~~~

TWO Ann Rule Books

Here's TWO book reviews for two great books.

By the mistress of True Crime, Ann Rule, or course.

In "Bitter Harvest" we have a mother who burns her children a live.

In "Heart Full of Lives" we have a woman who murders her husband as he sleeps.

Both women were very sucessful, well-traveled. One was a doctor, the other a photographer and writer. Both women were wealthy and SHOULD have been extremely happy with their lives.

Ann Rule does an amazing job with these tales of True Crime.

HERE

Mike Wallace and Amber Frey

Here's TWO Book Reviews.

One is by Amber Frey of Scott Peterson fame.

The other is by Mike Wallace of "60 Minutes Fame".

One was okay. The other was a total indulgence of a dishonest has-been.

It's Amber's book which is way better than blow-dried anchorman Wallace.

HERE
~~~~~~~~~~

Carlton Stowers-"Open Secrets"

Review. The book is "Open Secrets" by Carlton Stowers.

Joy Aylor was a real doozy of a lady. Beautiful, monied and priveleged, the woman cavalierly contracted to have people around her murdered if they annoyed her.

This book is about the endless attempts by authorities to actually TRACK the lovely Ms. Aylor as she travelled around the world to avoid her justice.

Joy Aylor was a real pip and read the review why it was what was at the back of the book that was the real surprise.

The Delaware races are heating up and Beau Biden, son of a senator with little prosecutorial experience expects to take over in his father's footsteps, heaven help Delaware.

Rehoboth's Big Fish Grill and Ferris Wharton

We re-visited Delaware's Big Fish Grill and while the food's still good, there's one major problem with this eatery that will keep us away from now on.

And a look into those local Delaware races, including son of Senator Joe Biden's bid for Attorney General against the Thomas Capano prosecutor.

Beau Biden has NEVER prosecuted a criminal case; his main qualification for the office would seem is being the son of a loud-mouthed Senator.

And you'll never guess who's endorsing Beau Biden.

POLITICAL TIDBITS-Barack's Big Ears-He's "Sensitive" About Them

Time for some Political Tidbits and we can't resist the Barack Obama story about those big ears. He doesn't want the press talking about his big ears. Which means it will be all I must talk about up until he is elected President.

Got some scams involving politicians, now a NY Senator who stole charity money can you believe? And famous skid row has a neat little food stamps scam going on, God Bless Us Taxpayers who pay for this.

An update on Tim Johnson and his stroke implications and a political cartoon bound to make you smile.

Bah, humbug.

A teacher asked her students to write the words to their favorite Christmas Carols. Here are some of the humorous lines she received:
----------------------------------------

We three kings of porridge and tar

On the first day of Christmas my tulip gave to me

Later on we'll perspire, as we dream by the fire.

He's makin a list, chicken and rice.

Noel. Noel, Barney's the king of Israel.

Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names.

Frosty the Snowman is a ferret elf, I say

Sleep in heavenly peas

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is sparse and brown

You'll go down in Listerine

Oh, what fun it is to ride with one horse, soap and hay

O come, froggy faithful !!!

Political Tidbits

Obama’s Big Ears

Aw. Seems Media wonder Barack Obama thinks his ears are too big. It also seems that poor Obama was teased relentlessly as a kid. Now it seems that ole Barack wants the media to leave the subject of his ears alone.

From Rush Limbaugh.com:

. Now, apparently before he made the speech, Maureen Dowd had written something about his big ears. Obama, after the speech, made a beeline for Maureen Dowd who was in the audience to tell her that he didn't appreciate her writing about his big ears. Now, there's a lot of noise here and it's very muddy. I'll translate it for you, but here's how it sounded.

OBAMA (off mic): You talked about my ears, and I just want to put you on notice: I'm very sensitive about -- What I told them was, ''I was teased relentlessly when I was a kid about my big ears.'"

DOWD (purring): We're trying to toughen you up

Well darn. So he was teased as a kid? Wow. This is something new.

Hey folks, every political cartoonist what ever had a mother draws President Bush with HUGE ears. A Bush caricature featuring Dumbo ears is practically part of our culture. Heck, I’ve gotten so I’ve grown fond of my President’s big ears.

So why doesn’t the kind, compassionate Barack HUSSEIN Obama also point out how cruel it is to depict the PRESIDENT with big ears? Why didn’t Obama tell the breathless Maureen Dowd that a person’s ears should be verboten when discussing politics?

He wasn’t kidding ladies and gems. And that’s what’s scary.

Goes to show this man’s total inexperience in political life. For once one chooses to enter the public arena then one offers up his or herself, warts, moles and big ears. Like my mother used to tell me, if you can’t take the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen.

Also, need I say, just the stupid fact that he mentioned his big ears and issued a pathetic story about a childhood run amok for the mockery, I’d suggest that Obama actually INVITED comments on his ears.

For now let’s all just sit back and enjoy this wonderful show the Lamestream Media puts on for us idiots out here in la-la land. Because save a few zealots in Illinois, Barack HUSSEIN Obama is not particularly adored by anyone else across the fruited plains, indeed he is not even well known.

The Lamestream media loves to create heroes and icons and its choices are not always, ahem, the ones us idiots especially like. For now, I feel like the Lamestream is putting on a show for us and heck, let’s enjoy it.

Check here for the REAL reason Obama will never be President.

Food Stamp Fraud? Who Woulda Thunk?

Anyone who thinks purchasing food stamps at a much lesser price than their value then using them at full value is an unusual thing, please raise your hand.

From the LA TIMES:

L.A.'s skid row has become a magnet for fraud schemes that use the area's homeless population to rip off the federal government, authorities said this week as they launched a crackdown on the activities.

In just the last few months, state and federal investigators have broken up two food stamp scams, one of which involved a merchant who allegedly gave homeless people 50 cents on the dollar for their stamps, then charged the entire value — $6 million — to the government.

I ought to slap every one of you with your hands raised.

I personally know plenty of food stamp recipients that, in a pinch or as part of their normal course of events, sell their food stamps for cold cash. It’s done all the time because, go with me here, the very system encourages this sort of thing.

Sure it’s against the law but since when did this stop anyone? Which is why I’m surprised that the feds are even bothering with an attempt to stop this practice. Then again, hey, skid row is a prime area to perpetuate this fraud and it’s a bit simpler to break up such a delightful target with all the ducks in a row, so to speak.

More Fraud…This Time by an NY Senator Steals from Charity

Goodness how can we expect skid row residents not to sell their meager supply of food stamps for cash to buy liquor when our elected representatives are stealing from charities for God’s sake?

From Hotair.com:

A New York state senator stole $423,000 in charity money to pay for indulgences like a Dominican cigar-making company, authorities said on Tuesday as they announced charges against him.

Between 1999 and 2005 Efrain Gonzalez Jr., 58, directed the state legislature to send grant monies to a Bronx charity, where a friend redirected the funds to a shell charity that was the senator’s “conduit for paying personal expenses,” the U.S. attorney’s office said.

Tom Delay Now Has a Blog!

Proof that blogging is here to stay. Now the great politicos are getting Blogs and hey, it takes talent to run a Blog. I’ll check it out and perhaps I shall smirk.

I do, however, wish Mr. Delay luck. Delay was victim of yet another runaway prosecutor, see my Blog post on two other runaway prosecutors, in the form of one Ron Earle in Texas, I don’t think he’ll go softly into the good night of anonymity.

Tom Delay.com

Tim Johnson’s Stroke

I’m not about to cast aspersions on those who speculate on the consequences of Senator Tim Johnson’s recent and sudden illness. Yes it’s a bit ghoulish but it’s also human nature to consider all the ramifications. And hey, the Senate party make-up is so damn close that it will take little to upset the balance.

I consider the Senate will become a bit like “Weekend at Bernies”, complete with a propped-up Democratic Senator who will be a Senator even if he dies. The Democrats are not about to give up their power over a simple thing like a permanent illness, or even death should it come to that.

However, I can’t help but comment on The View’s hostess Joy Behar’s commentary on Johnson’s illness. The woman actually thinks that the REPUBLICANS actually caused Johnson’s stroke!

Video Link HERE.

“I know what this party is capable of”.

Folks, they are Moonbats. Pure and simple.
