Too tired for outrage, but merely annoyed…..
Still shaking my head at the world.
Jerry Sandusky is to appear (somehow) on the Today show. The Today show used to stand for decent journalism. Now with Lauer the Twit and company, it’s become a joke. Sandusky is just another example of how far in the toilet they are.
North Dakota has passed what amounts to a “person-hood” law that creates the legal standard that life begins at conception. VIABLE life does not begin AT conception, it begins WITH conception. A rather important biological fact. What’s amazing here is that no one seems to be thinking ahead to the possible ramifications of that legislation. While the entire text of it was not read by yours truly, I have not seen anything in the synopsis of the legislation to address several important situations, namely: 1. What about a miscarriage? Does that mean the woman is now going to be charged with murder or manslaughter for something that happens normally when the pregnancy is not VIABLE? 2. What about in-vitro fertilization? Is this now outlawed? 3. If two cells are now a person, can they inherit? Claim property rights? Claim other rights that PERSONS have? What about citizenship? What happens if those two cells combine while mom and dad are in a foreign country? Dual citizenship? Could make a lot of otherwise illegal immigrants legal…..
People still care too much about Kim Kardashian and company. Ugh.
A District Attorney in Ohio has put out an indictment of Punxy Phil for his majorly botched “early spring” forecast. Says the rodent deserves the death penalty. My, what an amazing waste of taxpayer’s time and money. But then, hanging your hat on the weather forcast of a pampered rodent is not the brightest thing in the world either.
Humans….geez!

Buckeye Chuck, the Ohio groundhog, also “predicted” an early spring, so where is his indictment?
I had a third grader angry at the groundhog this week, too, but he’s nine. Once I explained that rodents can’t really predict the weather, he calmed down.
@DMMeyer - have you seen all of the cartoons that depict various ways that winter weary folks are conspiring to get rid of the rodents who predict the weather? Some of them are very funny!
Phew! I had to check that you didn’t mean the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
So with this life beginning with conception idea in the Badlands, does that mean early abortion will get the mum and doctor the chair, and that anyone doing an Onan will get the slammer for manslaughter?
The colonies are funny.
It is very British to be outraged and yet appear merely annoyed, don’t you know, ol’ girl/
@brokenbindings2 - No I have not. I’ll keep my eyes open for them.
@Lovegrove - It’s important for this ol/girl to watch her blood pressure….thus, I’m merely annoyed. Because, y’know, I’ve never annoyed anyone else…..LOL
