A Look Around Town
A quick look at the news in the local area here of Steubenville.....
We've had two fatal shootings.
Then local police in Toronto caught a woman selling drugs while holding her 6-month-old baby.
A Steubenville woman was arrested for stabbing a man while a child was in the room.
We also have a "razor blade bandit" on the loose.
Good times. Good times.
Using wingnut teabagger logic, I should look for something locally that would be making god angry enough to punish us.
Wonder what that could be....
Thanks Catholics!

Story by D.K. Wright
CAMBRIDGE, Ohio -- It's being dubbed "The Case Of The Sexy Substitute." This was not just another Monday for fifth graders at North Elementary School.
Their substitute teacher apparently took warmth and friendliness to a whole new level.
"The teacher came in, in a sweat suit to start off the day at school, and then proceeded to strip down into a bikini with a lace cover-up over it," said Sally Dyer, recounting what her 11-year-old son described. "She kissed some other boys on the cheek, and she showed off her tan lines."

Thanks Kitty
The other night around 3:30 in the morning I was woken up by my rather odd cat Banjo running up and down the hall. Didn't think much of it. Just rolled over and went back to sleep.
Woke up in the morning to go to work, and as I got out of bed, Banjo came barreling up the hall and jumped up on the bed.
Presenting me with this....
Gee. Thanks for that.

Twatting or Something
Since the aquisition of the time sucking device know as an "Iphone", I have started pissing around with Twitter. Just starting to get a handle on it all and how it works. So many annoying little symbols to figure out #!@##FF. Regardless, if you piss around with Twitter as well, go ahead and give a click to the 'follow me' button over there on the right.

Dawkins IS Batman
Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI
RICHARD DAWKINS, the atheist campaigner, is planning a legal ambush to have the Pope arrested during his state visit to Britain “for crimes against humanity”.Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, the atheist author, have asked human rights lawyers to produce a case for charging Pope Benedict XVI over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse in the Catholic church.
The pair believe they can exploit the same legal principle used to arrest Augusto Pinochet, the late Chilean dictator, when he visited Britain in 1998.
Uhhhh.....Wow.
Get ready for a big steaming pile of stupid.
Mike Huckabee's reveals that his dumb knows no end.
Mike Huckabee's reveals that his dumb knows no end.
He continues to oppose any government recognition of same-sex relationships. Even civil unions are “not necessary,” Huckabee said. “I think there’s been a real level of being disingenuous on the part of the gay and lesbian community with their goal of civil unions,” he alleged, referring to LGBT activists who first claimed that their goal in several states was to enact civil unions, but subsequently launched efforts to implement full marriage rights.
Huckabee went on to draw parallels between homosexuality and other lifestyles that are considered by some to be morally aberrant. “You don’t go ahead and accommodate every behavioral pattern that is against the ideal,” he said of same-sex marriage. “That would be like saying, well, there are a lot of people who like to use drugs, so let’s go ahead and accommodate those who want who use drugs. There are some people who believe in incest, so we should accommodate them. There are people who believe in polygamy, so we should accommodate them.”
He also affirmed support for a law in Arkansas that prohibits same-sex couples from becoming adoptive or foster parents. “I think this is not about trying to create statements for people who want to change the basic fundamental definitions of family,” Huckabee said. “And always we should act in the best interest of the children, not in the seeming interest of the adults.”
“Children are not puppies,” he continued. “This is not a time to see if we can experiment and find out, how does this work?”
In what may come as a surprise for some, Huckabee agreed that an atheist could be fit to serve as president. “I’d rather have an honest atheist than a dishonest religious person,” he said.
“It’s better to have a person who says, ‘Look, I just don’t believe, and that’s where my honest position happens to be,’” he said. “I’m frankly more OK with that than a person who says, ‘Oh, I am very much a Christian. I very much love God.’ And then they live as if they are atheists, as if they have no moral groundings at all. That’s more troubling.”
“I think it’s nice if a person believes in God,” Huckabee said. “I’d hate to think somebody was making decisions who thought that he couldn’t be higher than himself.”

University of Washington Poll
Not so surprising results in the poll......
A recent survey directed by University of Washington political scientist, Christopher Parker, finds that America is definitely not beyond race. For instance, the Tea Party, the incipient movement that claims to be committed to reigning in what they perceive as big government, appears to be motivated by more than partisanship and ideology. Approximately 45 % whites either strongly or somewhat approve of the movement. Of those, only 35% believe blacks to be hardworking, only 45 % believe blacks are intelligent, and only 41% think that blacks are trustworthy. Perceptions of Latinos aren’t much different. While 50% of white tea party supporters believe Latinos to be hardworking, only 39% think them intelligent, and at 37%, fewer tea party supporters believe Latinos to be trustworthy.

Pope Vows To Get Church Pedophilia Down To Acceptable Levels
VATICAN CITY—Calling the behavior shameful, sinful, and much more frequent than the Vatican was comfortable with, Pope Benedict XVI vowed this week to bring the widespread pedophilia within the Roman Catholic Church down to a more manageable level.Addressing thousands gathered at St. Peter's Square on Easter Sunday, the pontiff offered his "most humble apologies" to abuse victims, and pledged to reduce the total number of molestations by 60 percent over the next five years.
