“We’re like the Roman Empire with Downs Syndrome” -a friend

From an MSNBC story:

The married father of three is an assistant U.S. attorney based in Pensacola, Fla., and president of a youth sports association in Gulf Breeze.

He was arrested Sunday and was initially placed on a suicide watch, but the watch was lifted at the request of the defense, after Atchison assured a U.S. magistrate Tuesday he wouldn’t harm himself.

Atchison was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after arriving for a meeting with someone authorities say Atchison thought was the mother of a 5-year-old girl with whom he allegedly arranged to have sex. The woman was actually a Macomb County sheriff’s detective participating in an Internet sex sting operation.

Atchison was charged with three felonies, the most serious of which is crossing state lines with intent to have sex with someone under 12.

Shouldn’t that instead read “rape”?

Because I was the moderator at NashvilleIsTalking for a long while where I did animal rescue posts from time to time I still get updates about animals in the area who need good homes. Two recent emails really grabbed at my gut, so I’m posting them here in hopes that someone who is thinking of adopting (or buying) a new pet for their family will consider these great gets instead:

My foster family calls me Pumpkin, because when they found me, my beautiful black coat was covered orange spray paint by some folks who clearly didn’t understand my worth! My foster Mom found me running down a busy road, dragging a lead and anchor behind me where I had been chained up with a collar so tight that I could barely swallow.I licked my foster Mom’s face for a long time when she removed my collar. Fortunately, those former owners did not step up to claim me - so I can go live with a better family!

Despite my obvious neglect, I’m still cheerful and loving. I’m staying with kids and a variety of pets right now and I get along lovingly with everyone. I love my rawhide bones so much that I’m not at all destructive and I don’t chew on anything else. I love to play and get scratched behind the ears.

I am mostly black lab, but may have a little of some other nice kind of dog mixed in. I don’t know when my birthday is, but I think I’m between 1 ½ and 2 years old. So, I have lots of wonderful years ahead of me. More than anything, I want a family to love and look after. I need a home and I need a home really quickly. Please, can you help a good dog? Please can you email my foster Mom at Vickie@curiousconcrete.com. I will have to go to the shelter soon and I would really rather go home with you!

Hi, I’m Zoey… I’m a grown up girl, which means I’m completely housebroken and I’m very playful and loving! I’m a unique blend of greyhound and beagle, which means I am graceful and fast, but I sure love to follow a great smell! I would be a great member of your family because: I love all people, including kids! I’m very mellow around other dogs and I don’t mind cats. I’m housebroken (I know I already said this, but I’m very proud of it!) I love to snuggle and I love to take walks and am good on my leash. One Thing, I don’t like to be alone so having another mellow dog, would be just a perfect fit.

I do need a special family or person who has patience, I am sensitive gal and get nervous when I think someone is leaving me. I’m sure plenty of love will take care of this but I thought you should know.

I was so happy to move from a shelter to my new foster home, and I fit in right away. It is so great to be back in a real home, but I am looking for my forever family. Phone - 615-298-2262

Yes, you too can insert fake boar tusks into the mouth of an unconscious dental patient, taking photos of her beastly overbite to share with colleagues in the office, and still have the state Supreme Court get your back. The ” kindhearted, fun-loving” dentist who practices in Olympia, Washington was sued by Tina Alberts, the woman who later saw photos of herself wearing the unwelcome swine smile. But the doc’s insurance company refused to cover the damages saying the practical joke wasn’t legitimately covered. So, he sued them, and he won. The Washington Supreme Court ordered the dentist’s insurance company to cover the money won by Alberts claiming that prank “was an integral, if odd, part of the assistant’s dental surgery and ‘conceivably’ should trigger the professional liability coverage of his policy.

Last time I checked, the definition of “integral” was ,”essential or necessary for completeness.” How does a body of intelligent and respected state Supreme Court justices come to the conclusion that placing faux pig teeth into the oral orifice of a sedated employee in order to mock her later is a vital part of a dental practice? Is it any wonder our medical costs in this country are astronomical?

The creators of LOST could take a lesson in creepy from the people responsible for the gruesome discovery of five severed kangaroo heads on a beach near Brisbane, Australia. A mother and her two children came upon the animals, sans bodies, then alerted the authorities. She says her daughter was traumatized by the findings.

Man, is there any doubt? I know plenty of kids who are scared of clowns and mascots and Santa Claus after some well-meaning but tragic occurrences, but that pales in comparison to the headless marsupials that will be haunting these kids’ dreams for the rest of their lives.

It makes me want to curse and cry when I think about what Michael Vick and his three thug-ass buddies did to all those dogs. It seriously about kills me. But when it is too much, I think about how awesome it is that this has raised the level of consciousness about this horrific bloodsport. Training animals who depend on you to fight to the death, torturing the ones who don’t show “promise”–these atrocities need to be on the front page of the paper for a while. Fuck these guys. I hope this puts a tiny dent in what is apparently a thriving and sick industry, but I doubt it.

“Hey, self.”

“What, self?”

“Do you think English-only proponents are also opposed to the U.S. military advertising in Spanish?”

“Who knows? But definitely put this on your blog.”

This is just mind-blowing:

So there are places where sex doesn’t sell. Well, one place for certain: Texas. The editor of the magazine Texas Monthly has admitted that he was wrong to run a front cover with the headline “Astronaut Sex!” It resulted in the May issue being the second-worst newsstand seller in the magazine’s 34-year history, and it may yet prove to be the worst.

In a lengthy apology to readers on his editor’s blog Evan Smith explained that he was deluged with complaints from readers who were upset by the word “sex”. In what he calls “a very conservative state” people felt it “crossed a line”. They “did not like having to explain to their sons or daughters what the word ’sex’ means.“

Need I expound on why this is seriously deficient parenting?
