Need Sleepy….
I am so tired; I have no business sitting at my computer writing this right now. I guess I just feel guilty for having started this blog and not doing shit for it. So here I am, out of shear will power writing this. The reason I’m so tired? I have a baby. If you don’t have a child you probably think I’m a pussy, but if you are with child, you are probably nodding knowingly at the screen. Kids can wear you out man.
So anywho…what’s in the news today? I guess there are a lot of things. My wife has been obsessed with the Scott Petterson case. So maybe I’ll talk about that. She’s been following it from the beginning because she was pregnant the same time Laci was so I guess it hit close to home for her.
I just think that it’s strange that it’s gotten so big. Not to sound cold, but she wasn’t the first pregnant woman to be murdered. In fact, there was a pregnant woman who went missing around the exact same time Laci did. That story probably popped up on the news all of twice. Yet here we are, and where is she? He’s been found guilty, and you would have thought we found WMD’s in Iraq. I mean come on; does this really impact our lives one bit? It’s like watching a Lifetime channel movie in real time.
Poor, unattractive people get murdered left and right in this country and this guy is a monster for killing an attractive person? All killers are monsters; we just need to pay attention more to what’s going on. Now, I’m not defending him, he was found guilty, and he should get what’s coming to him. I just think it’s a sad state of affairs when one case that isn’t very unique is front page news…at least it was front page news here in San Francisco.
Does it have staying power because he maintains his innocence? That guy in Utah killed his wife and admitted it, boom, hardly ever hear about that any more. That Washington Intern who was killed a few years back. Front page news when they thought the Congress man did it. Then they found her body, and evidence that he couldn’t have done it. Everybody lost interest. It’s amazing what grabs our attention.
Personally, I was obsessed with that case of the stone Ten Commandments in the court house rotunda. I just couldn’t believe the granite balls on that judge. Seriously, he brings self righteousness to a whole new level.
The irony of the Petterson trail to me is now the right-to-lifers have a little bit more to hang their hats on. If Scott gets death, that could be one step closer to a ban on abortion. This case would set a precedent , and already has. They are screaming for his death because he killed the unborn baby (by the way, as a father, I can’t even come close to even fathoming how anyone could do that to their own child. My mind just refuses to comprehend that), but last I checked the bible didn’t say, “Thou shalt not kill…unless they are judged by a jury of their peers to be deemed unfit to live in society.” Come on people you can’t have it both ways. I say fry the fucker, but I’m pro-choice. These right-to-lifers should be fighting for Scott Pettersons life, right? They are PRO-LIFE, right?
There’s an anti-abortionist living in Washington DC these days who has been known, in his Texas days, to throw a switch or two or two hundred. Can you say hypocrite boys and girls? I knew that you could. Although, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, he could have meant he was anti-aborigine. Watch out Australia.
Sorry about the down under tangent, I told you I was sleepy.
