Michela better shut the f&%! up
If the ex dies, Michela is goin' ta jail, there's no doubt about it. Hopefully he's back to hiding out in his hole, safely tucked away from random gunfire, sharp knives, and cut brake lines on steep hills.
However, this story is somewhat unique in that this picture of perfect mental health (the murderer) married a psychologist (the murder-ee) who had drugged and raped her at 16. What the? And then he abused her from ages 22 through 47. What the? Further, he had a long history of mental illness. And she didn't? This marriage sounds like a knife fight waiting to happen.
Mine on the other hand...well... half the drama and twice the sanity. I'd have no defense man, no defense.

Marla brings us Interesting factoids
UCLA Medical Research
A study conducted by UCLA's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle.
For instance, if she is ovulating she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features.
However, if she is menstruating, or menopausal, she is more prone to be attracted to a man with scissors lodged in his temple and a bat jammed up his ass while he is on fire.
Further studies are expected.

Biloxi and New Orleans can learn from WWII
A great deal of history and architecture in Mississippi and Louisiana has been lost, but they can rebuild it and preserve at least the former, if not the latter.
German cities were reconstructed to mirror their pre-allied bombing conditions, architecture, and city plans. When you stroll through Munich, the buildings just ooze Ye Olde Deutschland, and the Germans are proud that they were able to preserve, in a strange sort of way, their histories. This is also what the South must do.

Thank god for the modern world
It is feared that 50,000 people will have died from this earthquake by the time the bodies can all be counted. All the hand-wringing and sky-high death predictions of New Orleans don't shake a stick to figures like that, and, they turned out to be more false than the Pamela Anderson's body parts. This looks to be real. Dire and real.
The similarly sized San Francisco quake (click now to read about it) killed about 60 people.
The only thing that separates Loma Prieta, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Pakistan is a capitalist society, judeo-christian values and a kind nod to twentieth century progress. Countries like Pakistan who insist on living in ancient history, including a dark-ages approach to learning, religious bigotry, and male/female roles will be damned to the rubble of their pre-historic societies. It's not with a cold heart I say such things; it's with certain sadness to realize that people will trade the lives and futures of their children in for their outdated ideals.

The snakes in Washington are almost as dangerous
A man thinks a snake he has shot many times is dead, he reaches over to grab it, and it sunk a fang into his hand, hitting a vein and killing him. Just when you thought rattlesnakes were not so bad...
Then there's the suit-snakes in Washington who just want to cut checks from our bank accounts, much more easily than they would out of their own. This thinking will bite you and your bank account.

Tisk tisk tisk!
Ah Evan will hate this one. But what can I say luv. Don't kill the messenger. The headline of the money.CNN.com story is "Southwest boots woman for shirt" with a sub-heading of "Lorrie Heasley to sue for being asked to leave a flight because of her politically charged T-shirt."
The first headline is correct, the second just an inflammatory tie-in. But the standard media bias is that the CNN.com link to this story reads "Airline Boots Woman for anti-Bush top" which is totally false. The fucking shirt had the word FUCKERS on it. This had nothing to do with Bush, pro Bush, anti Bush anything.
It's all about a woman wearing a shirt that prominently displays the F word, a display that, mind you, money.CNN.com was mindful enough to blur out. Apparently, it's too inflammatory for their website (where nobody under 50 will be on any given day) but according to pinko CNN.com, the shirt should have been allowed on an airplane. At least money.CNN.com had it correct 50%... CNN.com was just, well, CNN.com... biased biased biased.

She's smarter than she looks!
Katie Holmes managed to create Cruise Scientology devil-spawn... she's got him now, right along with his 100 mil plus fortune. Maybe we had this dimwit wrong all along.

The Big, Fat Tragedy
How does one respond to this sad fact?
The boat was rated for 50 passengers based on the Coast Guard standard of 150 pounds per person. Cleveland said that standard may have to be revised in light of data showing Americans growing fatter.

Tragedy again...
It always makes sense after-the-fact...the boat was filled to maximum capacity, but most victims were in wheelchairs. Wheelchairs are quite heavy so it was probably like having nearly double the occupants. It seems so obvious in review that it doesn't make sense...
Plus, a boatfull of people who will not be able to swim (they're in wheelchairs, presumably that means they can't swim, either) if something happens? And no life vests? Notes to selves on future ferry excursions...
