What Happens When You Make Too Much Money?
Your boss calls you at 7:50 a.m. on Sunday morning before he leaves town for a deposition. I think I'll go finish painting my room now.

Dish of the Day
Wouldn't be Friday without the Dish of the Day. Today's dish is another Brit import who appears in a lot of historical pieces (noticing a trend yet?). I refer to the delightful Mr. Darcy....Colin Firth.
Friday's What the Hamster?
I see crazy has made a comeback. Maybe it's the gas prices or food prices or the fact that our two presidential candidates have made the 2008 election a choice between Dumb and Dumber. Anyway, here's the WTH? stories for this week:
1. This Week's Supreme Court Decisions. So we can't put to death child rapists but we have the right to keep and bear arms. Uh...okay. Best part about the second decision was Stephen Breyer's dissent in which he wrote: Justice Stephen Breyer wrote a separate dissent in which he said, "In my view, there simply is no untouchable constitutional right guaranteed by the Second Amendment to keep loaded handguns in the house in crime-ridden urban areas." Okay but we've managed to find a right to gay marriage, abortion, and flag burning?
2. Teens Beat Homeless Man to Death as Cars Slow to Watch. What the hell is wrong with teenagers these days? Granted it was in Cleveland but 14-17 year olds beating a guy to death for his CD player and headphones? And no one got out their cars to stop it? We need to fix this country ASAP 'cause it's going to hell in a handbasket. And no, Obamahamster isn't the solution.
3. Massachusett's Lawmaker/Defense Lawyer Promises to Rip Apart Child Rape Victims. Another reason why I hate this profession. There's a thin line between zealous advocacy and being a hamster-hole and this guy crossed it. This has to do with minimum sentencing guidelines for child rapists. Here's what this find member of the Bar had to say, Rep. James Fagan, a Democrat, made the comments during debate last month on the state House floor.
"I'm gonna rip them apart," Fagan said of young victims during his testimony on the bill. "I'm going to make sure that the rest of their life is ruined, that when they’re 8 years old, they throw up; when they’re 12 years old, they won’t sleep; when they’re 19 years old, they’ll have nightmares and they’ll never have a relationship with anybody.”
Isn't that lovely? I hope Mr. Fagan doesn't have any daughters.
4. Another Reason Not to Allow Your Child on MySpace. I'm currently fighting this battle with the oldest. A 12 year old girl is missing after she lied to her family about meeting a friend when she was actually going to meet someone she met on MySpace. She's been missing for 48 hours and they have no idea if she went to meet a man or woman. My bet is it's a guy. I just hope they find her alive.
5. Mexican Military in the US. Apparently, drug dealers are hiring members of the Mexican Army to conduct home invasions and assassinations in Phoenix. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this constitute an act of war? A few bombs dropped on Mexico City may get their attention.
6. Convicted Sex Offender Rapes and Murders Female Guard. The guy was serving 2 life sentences for kidnapping and sexual assault but there was a female guard? Seriously? Ladies, I know we want equality but do we really need to be prison guards at a male prison? Didn't she have a gun? Why didn't she shoot him?

People With Nothing Better to Do
So I had to shut down the church blog (again) because people can't mind their own business (again). Here's how the cretins found it:
Someone at the SYNOD goes to the site and contacts:
ELDER 1 who goes to the site and contacts:
ELDER 2 who then contacts:
SBTX who goes to the site.
So why does the Synod think they can monitor what I do on my computer anonymously?
