Beer in a Baby Bottle

It never fails to amaze me that, every once in a while, I come across a story like this; "An 18-year-old Chickasha woman is charged with child endangerment after police found what they say appears to be beer in her baby's bottle."   Wait, it gets better.  As it turns out this woman's boyfriend, or whatever he is, was "smoking marijuana...when they (the police) checked the welfare of the baby".

While this story doesn't indicate the woman (heck, she's still a kid; 18) was giving the baby beer to drink, there is never a reason, ever, that there should be beer in a baby bottle.   Can we all agree to that?  And whatever your opinion is of smoking weed, you shouldn't be doing it anywhere near a child, especially a baby.

How many levels of wrong is this?  Beer in a baby bottle; smoking tree near a baby.  Morons!  I'm just speechless....

This is never right

If you're like me, you throw out unwanted mail; you also delete unwanted email, hang up on unsolicited phone calls, and walk on the other side of the street when you see a man in a chicken suit walking towards you....right?

In any case, I don't think it's ever right to mail dog poop to anyone.  However, "a retired French professor sent dog feces to her congresswoman office after becoming angry with receiving too many mailings."  Oh, and her rocket scientist lawyer said that "she had a constitutional right to do it."

I'm not an expert on the Constitution, but I don't believe the framers meant to include Professor Ensz crap-o-gram's as a way of practicing free speech.   To bolster her defense, one of Prof's Ensz lawyers stated "the act was probably crude and boorish but all the same likened it to a form of political protest such as Thomas Jefferson's criticism of the King of England. At a hearing Tuesday, she also cited Mr. Hankey, an animated, talking piece of human excrement depicted on "South Park," as evidence that it is commonplace to use feces to express disdain."

Oh, ok!  Using that logic, if I wanted to drop an anvil on someone's head I can go with the Looney Toon defense.  By the way, I don't think I've ever seen King of England and Mr. Hankey referenced together.  This lawyer is awesome!

In short, it's never right to mail poop.   Never.  Never ever.

Retired Professor Claims Right to Send Feces
AP
GREELEY, Colo. (Jan. 19) - A retired French professor sent dog feces to her congresswoman's office after becoming angry with receiving too many mailings - and her lawyer says she had a constitutional right to do it.

Kathleen Ensz faces a misdemeanor charge of "use of a noxious substance" after taking dog feces from her backyard, wrappingit in a political mailer from Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, and leaving the putrid package at the Republican 's office, according to court documents.

Ensz, a Democrat , was angered by repeatedly receiving mailings from Musgrave. Her lawyer calls the poo delivery a form of free expression, protected by the First Amendment.

Patricia Bangert, one of Ensz's attorneys, admitted the act was "probably crude and boorish" but all the same likened it to a form of political protest such as Thomas Jefferson's criticism of the King of England. At a hearing Tuesday, she also cited Mr. Hankey, an animated, talking piece of human excrement depicted on "South Park," as evidence that it is commonplace to use feces to express disdain.

"Etiquette and propriety aside, it is commonplace in today's society to equate a distasteful or disliked person, situation or thing, to feces," Bangert said.

At the time of the incident last May, Musgrave's camp claimed the gesture was a political dirty trick and demanded an apology from Musgrave's likely Democratic opponent, state Rep. Angela Paccione of Fort Collins, who went on to lose the election to the incumbent. Paccione's campaign denied any involvement.

Ensz, 63, a retired French professor from the University of Northern Colorado, is scheduled for trial in Weld County on May 15. Musgrave's spokesman Aaron Johnson said, "Right now, this issue is between Ms. Ensz and law enforcement officials."

You Tube Rocks! It Takes Two!

One of the things I love about YouTube is that I can go back and find old vidoes from high school, including this one!

Word to the Kane!

Just A List

There are a few things I wanted to talk about that have happened recently, like this freakin' ice storm that has totally wrecked by hopes of having a globally-warm winter, and this whole Trump v. Roise v. Paula v. Simon v. "monkey-boy", but instead I would like to share my list to ten strange things I have seen or done in my life. While this list is in random order, it's worth nothing that each of these things are tres freaky.

1. At a Wal-Mart here in Tulsa I saw a Hasdiec Jew and a Rastafrain together. Even back in New York the chances of these two types of people hanging out together are slim, even slimmer here in Tulsa.

2. At Waikiki, I saw a man and his women...well, you know, out in the ocean. Anyway, they were about 20 yards offshore when I saw them. It was near midnight, so they probably thought it was safe. Alas, it wasn't, because I showed up. At first I thought it was a shark trying to kill a sea lion, but as I got closer to the water I saw them! Don't ask my why I was at the beach that late.....

3. In 1998, I was driving down Peachtree Street in Atlanta, and I saw a man...an apparently homeless man, trying to help a women into a red corvette. She was coming out of an restaurant and the car hop brought her car to the front. Homeless man pushed him out of the way, opened the driver's side door, and let the woman into her car. She gave him a tip. About ten minutes later I was waiting outside the Hard Rock, waiting to get in, when this same weirdo came strolling by. The speakers outside of the Hard Rock starting playing Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean"; Dude started to moonwalk, doing the running man, you name it. I think he made about $10 in tips.

4. Speaking of tips, I made $3 dancing on a bar in Waikiki. I needed the cash.

5. I met Pat Morita (aka Mr. Miagee) in Honolulu. I walked up to him and said,"Hey, Mr. Miagee. Wax on, wax off!" His response; "Yeah, very funny. Like that's the first time anyone has ever said that to me."

6. In Korea, some buddies and I came across a temple built into the side of a mountain. We didn't see anyone, so we walked up to the entrance, and were chased away by a horde of Buddhist monks with brooms. At least they didn't go crouching tiger on us.

7. For this you need to see a picture of me.....when I was in Somalia, there were a group of kids that were trying to guess what "nationality" some of the African-American soldiers were based on their appearance (Kenya, Nigerian, etc.) When they saw me, they said I looked like Michael Jackson! Thanks, kids! I almost get shot over there, and they're calling me Michael Jackson.......

8. I saw Wayne Newton in concert....USO tour. Wayne rocks!

9. I saw Garth Brooks at a McDonald's drive through in Owasso, OK.

10. I almost fell out of a helicopter over Miami Beach, FL.

11. I met Chewbacca....couldn't understand a word he was saying. Chewy has bad breath!

12. I sat next to a super model on a flight from Seattle to Seoul. I can't remember her name...Cindy something....OK, she wasn't a super model, but she did show me some of her modeling pictures. She was, how you say, hot!

I think that's enough for now. I actually came up with more than ten things. I'll have to do this again sometime. Rock on!
