obnoxious

here's a shout to all you morons using the term
 'me' as a closer to your texts / emails

we can see what you are trying to do - coming off as insecure (boo-hoo), with your lower case letters like you're not important enough (sniff) for even one capital.

actually, it's
passive aggressive -
forcing people to associate a common noun for one person, and one person alone.
you.

the ever-so-special-you that can own a word that should, by rights, belong to all of us

3 steps to public humiliation

1. a little girl draws a picture of a gun
2. her teacher shows it to principal; principal calls in the police
3. her father, arriving at the school to pick up his children, is arrested

          IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL

now, the police and the school can talk the good talk of firearms safety, concern for the child's welfare, and their duty to report the drawing...

but is arresting an innocent-before-proven-guilty father in front of his children's school community necessary to the child's welfare? 

can they seriously argue the threat of violence was so high at that time, they had to act immediately?
no.
it was to humiliate him.
plain and simple

then the strip search at the station.
and showing up at his home to tell his wife:

1. he had been arrested
2. they had to search the house
3. they had to remove his remaining children into care

and all this done without telling the woman what her husband had been charged with.

so maybe the school and police were hoping for a further humilation by causing his wife to doubt her commitment to him

the vulgar chin

yes, even in a still photo, he's leering

last week for a funny bit
Jay Leno showed security footage of a woman wearing a long skirt stealing a case of water.  She places the case on it's side, squats over it slightly (squeezing her knees?) and then the case is hidden in the skirt.

funny man then says:
"Now that's what I call a snatch & grab"

for his uncouth remark:
Jay Leno, you're this week's blithering idiot

karenwith4

an idiot feels smug and protected, complaining about women in her homeschool community AND in her church community on the 'anonymous' Mothering Board.

she starts new threads with topic headers like: what do you think of this party etiquette? (about an easily identifiable church member) and can we talk about social stuff?  (about 2 -again easily identifiable- members of her homeschool community)

these are just 2 examples i've made links to

except,

due to her own blithering, her true identity is known and therefore, the targets of her gossip are known

so, karenwith4, you are this week's
Blithering Idiot

sexual healing

turns out marvin gaye had it all wrong;
he shoulda been singing:

when i get that feeling,
i want... KA-CHING

it's recently come to light that a former teacher in guelph, Bruce Abel, assaulted his students 30 years ago.

pleading guilty in 2009 to indecent assault and sexual intercourse with a female under 14, he was sentenced to three and half years of prison

he was reported to the ontario college of teachers, and his licence to teach was revoked.

Bruce Abel: Named & Shamed

and if those 2 teen girls (ok, now they are in their mid-40s) require support systems and counselling to get past this horrible memory - then certainly they should get it
but 40 million dollars?

because yes,
that is how much the two women are suing for -

of course, Bruce Abel doesn't have that kind of cash
so they are suing the principal and the school board too - you know, the province's (ie: our) deep pockets

so give the lawyers half (cause you know they pushed for this suit), and that still leaves 10 million dollars a piece

why, that's a better payout than Cash for Life!

maybe we should stop buying lotto tickets and

sign up for tutoring sessions with seedy teachers. heck, any government employee should do.

oh, and did i mention the wife is also named in the suit?

like some sort of guilt-by-sexual-association...

how is an inkwell is responsible for what the fountain pen does?
