A Firm Stance and a Warm Embrace

Today I'd like to discuss something near and dear to my heart-Parenthood. In my twelve plus years of experience I must admit I've become quite the authority! Thankfully, I have no official pedigree or PhD so I may share my "uninformed opinions" without fear of serious retribution.

I truly believe today's parenting or lack thereof is directly related to our declining moral fabric in society, I find it idiotic to believe we have progressed so far that there is nothing left to learn from our predecessors. The new age "children are basically programmed and will find their own path" type parents should be beaten publicly for all to see.You can go to any local jail or prison to acquaint yourself with adults that were not exposed to positive,structured, family culture as children. Unruly kids are a direct reflection of lazy parents and will almost assuredly be underachieving/unhappy adults...

Cain Fights Back

A fifth accuser has come out??



In the video we learn that there is a fifth woman who has a story about Herman Cain. We also learn that during Cain's press conference, he categorically denies any and all of these allegations. He also reveals that his wife is mad about these recent stories and accusations.

Cain's Accuser is Full of S$%@! Part 2

...and the drama continues...

Here's some more about the little princess crying assault:

This article mentions that she is engaged and never mentioned anything to him about this indecent that took place 14 years ago.

Conrad Murray Found Guilty?!?!

Children everywhere breathed a sigh of relief when Michael Jackson died. Thank goodness for Conway Murray. Unfortunately, like most brain-dead juries in America, his jury found him guilty.

A jury of seven men and five women deliberated for less than two days before convicting the celebrity doctor in Jackson’s 2009 death.

I was expecting them to give the man an award.

In all seriousness, this was an accident, not a crime with intent to kill. He should have never stood trial. Where is the accountability on Jackson's part? This was his request and this was his doing. Why is anyone else responsible for HIS actions? He was an adult.

I used to be a huge fan but, once you diddle children, that is between you and G-d and I do not want any part of it. I have NO sympathy or empathy for Jackson and I'm glad he is gone and no longer able to hurt his children or other innocent children.

Cain's Accuser is Full of S$%@!

Sharon Bialek, a Chicago-area woman, waits to address a news conference at the Friars …

Yes, I'm saying it. This woman, Sharon Bialek, is just out in the press to get her face in the papers. I was reading the news stories this morning and found this:

Bialek said she encountered Cain at a tea party event earlier this year. "I shook his hand, and he remembered me," she said. "He looked a little uncomfortable."

Now, if what she says is true, that he grabbed her gentiles and pulled her head down, why would she shake his hand years later?

Asked about Cain's characterization of her charges as a "total fabrication," Bialeck stood her ground, saying she went public because "I wanted to give him a platform to come clean, to tell the truth. 

She said, "I was trying to be nice about it and it just didn't work."
