Proving my point

Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Ted Berry gave 41-year-old Norman Holmes a 90-day jail sentence and a lecture Monday after Holmes' 109th misdemeanor conviction.

Holmes pleaded guilty to a theft charge but had no answer when the judge asked why he didn't become productive instead of stealing.

He doesn't care about becoming productive...that's why.

Bring it back to the basics.

When I was in Williamsburg we went to the capitol building. We learned that in colonial times, when someone was guilty of a crime they had punishment and were let loose. If they performed another crime they were executed. That's the way it should be! People aren't learning their lesson. There was a shooting in a Wal-Mart parking lot last week. A woman was shot because she didn't want to give a criminal her purse.

Look at the perps rap sheet:

Elijah was first imprisoned in 1984 following a conviction on charges of escape and petty theft. Paroled late in 1984, he committed burglary the following year and was sentenced in 1986 to five to 15 years.

"He was in and out on that case about 10 times" due to parole violations, Carson said. "He violated about every six months. It was in and out, in and out, in and out. Everything seems to be centered around drugs."

Elijah's 1986 sentence finally expired in 2006, but he was back that October through April 2007 on a drug possession conviction. He was readmitted to prison June 18, 2008, on charges of drug possession and breaking and entering, and was released last Thursday, Carson said.

He obviously doesn't care and is just going to do it again. STOP the stupidity in the courts! There should be a limit on how many times you go to jail before they kill you.

Why idiots shouldn't have guns

A father arrested after his 6-year-old daughter was fatally shot in their Washington state home allegedly told authorities he had been drinking double shots of vodka while cleaning his guns.

Court papers say Richard Peters told detectives he had asked his daughter, Stormy, to bring him the .45-caliber handgun Sunday. He said he must have pulled the trigger, and the girl fell to the floor. She was pronounced dead Monday.

Signs of an idiot:
Handling a weapon while intoxicated
Cleaning a loaded weapon
Ask a 6 year old to handle a loaded weapon

Bail for Peters, 42, was set Monday at $250,000. He has been arrested for investigation of first-degree manslaughter.

This was no accident. I have no sympathy for Peters at all whatsoever. It's amazing the girl didn't shoot herself.

This makes sane and responsible gun owners look bad.

The new Star Trek kills a Corvette

So I was watching the new Star Trek trailer (http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/startrek/large_trailer2.html) and I was utterly pissed that they killed a Corvette on it. I was ticked. It's a beautiful car, a classic. Why couldn't they have used a Toyota or some POS import? Then I realized..."wait a minute, it's the future". A Toyota or a POS import would have long since rusted and been put into compost. This proves the stamina of GM engineering and production. It survives centuries :)

Or...at least until Kirk drives it off a cliff.

Granted my brother Kirk has a good point. A car like that surviving that long would more than likely be in a museum.

Return address is the...post office?

Ok so someone bought the Xbox WiFi Adapter that I posted on Amazon (that was a rant in itself..the thing only works with factory xbox and you have to use a disk that only reads on a factory xbox to get the adapter configured). Anyway...I put my return address on it and the recipient in the USPS click and ship. I go to the post office in Alpha, Ohio (essentially Beavercreek) and the lady goes "if you used our zip code we'd get credit for shipping it". Now...am I just being ridiculously misinterpreting or does that totally NOT make sense? I mean, the recipient should have a proper return address on the package. I'm not going to lie. That zip code is not MY zip code nor a Xenia zip code. It would be like putting the post office as the return address which makes 0 sense. Who looks at the shipping from zip code at the post office? I've never had anyone beg for zip code "credit". How odd.
