Really bad job of sentencing

A woman was sentenced to 10 years for attempted murder for throwing her 2-year old on the ground while being strung out on meth. The judge says she must serve 5 years before being eligible for parole. I think they need to either keep her in jail w/o possibility of parole or tubal ligation before... Sign in to see full entry.

The California Air Management Racket Circa 1990

THIS BLOGGER HAS BEEN MESSING AROUND IN THE KITCHEN

Evidently someone has come up with a recipe for Fried Coke. I guess we don't have enough ways to develop a heart condition. Actually I'm not all that impressed. If they want to impress me, they need to produce Fried Diet Coke. Sign in to see full entry.

NOT VERY BRIGHT BLOGGERS

The Choice is Yours Originally uploaded by ShutterCat7. The shortest distance between two points is the attention span of the average consumer.

Weird deja vu-ish phone call at 2:00am

I went to bed around 1am. When I got up at 10:15 I saw that at 2:15 and 2:33 this morning someone called my phone. I didn't recognize the number. There was also a voicemail where I could hear someone in the background saying, "I've been getting some complaints that you're making too much noise." I... Sign in to see full entry.

TELEMARKETING

My business line used to belong to a guy who ran up a bunch of credit crap all over town and I keep getting collection calls for him. So last night the phone rings and it is a 310 area code (Northern LA County, California around Van Nuys/Reseda/Chatsworth maybe) (West LA, Hollywood, Beach Towns) Me:... Sign in to see full entry.

Human Silhouette Sighting

This sighting occurred at about 3am Thursday 5 Oct. 2006. I had just pulled into the driveway and stepped out of the truck. The door was still open and I had slung my bag over my shoulder. About 50° to the left and twelve feet away I saw a human shape that appeared to be about six feet tall. It was... Sign in to see full entry.

THE BLOGGER WHO PRAYED WOLF!!

How I deal with prayer requests from idiots I used to be one of these idiots early in my life as a Christian. I used to ask people to pray for me for things like not having studied for an exam.
