CATAGORIES: CRIME, GENERAL NONSENSE, HUMOR, NEWS & BREAKING NEWS & FOLLOW-UP, SPORTS, WEEK IN REVIEW — FloridaBill @ 7:43 am

File under: Week 3 of 2007
“Trophy”

We started the week with storms in California and the Midwest that moved to New England and by Wednesday had killed 54 people. By the end of the week, that total had risen to 70 and Europe had it’s own storm that took 41 lives.

We also had some hangings (or decapitations as the case may be) in Iraq.

By my rudimentary calculations, I think there are at least ten candidates (Obama, Guiliani, Edwards, Kucinich, McCain, Vilsack {like we would ever elect a President with that name}, Dodd, Tancredo, Biden, Gravel, Romney and I think there are more very minute or so) who have announced their intent to run for the Presidency next year. It will be the first election in 80 years without an incumbant. There are several candidates with big name recognition (Kerry, Gore, Clinton, Clark, Gingrich, Hagel, Patacki) who have yet to make a formal announcement or form one of those silly exploratory commitees. There are many third party candidates who have thrown their hats in too. The election clock is now ticking and it is only 22 months until we elect #44. I will go out on a limb now and make my prediction for the next President: Albert Gore and Barack Obama will be Veep.

Again this week we have a clear winner of Fucktard of the Week in the form of Michael Devlin. The guy is a monster. Life in prison will be too light of a sentence. I also have to mention Harold Levar Jeffcoat as a runner up for FOTW. He got shot in the ass while trying to carjack a couple in South Carolina. This unnamed fucktard should be locked up forever with Mr. Devlin along with some rope. They can skip the video. Another runner-up this week is Omar Brooks, an extremist also known as Abu Izzadeen. I think I am gonna buy another gun or two, even though saying his Muslim name out loud makes me giggle.

If there is an opposite of a fucktard, it is personified by these two un-named Afghanistan citizens. Thanks gentlemen. Well done!

I loved the book and loathed the movie, but I find this situation to be quite fitting. We should have loser pays litigation in this country. One of my cases went to trial over a year and a half ago and we prevailed; the plaintiff appealed, we prevailed again and then she took it to the Supreme Court who rejected her petition this week. I think she should have to pay us what it cost to fight her frivolous law suit. I’d be interested to know if you agree or not?

I also found this story about “online vigilantes” to be highly interesting. And you thought blogs were just for cheap fun. I’ve certainly seen some drivers that I would like to “blogslap”.

Cheat on your spouse and spend life in prison? Only in Michigan.

Previously, I have posted about two great horned owls that resided in my back yard. Recently, I have heard them in the mornings again (hoo hoo) and this week I have seen one of them, this time not so close, but still close enough to tell what the great bird was and what it was doing (looking around and preening). That is why this story caught my attention. They are magnificent creatures. They are so big that when in flight they look like a flying baby and I understand they like to eat skunks. No owl got to this skunk who wound up in Canada and is now being carted back to California.

I have been anxiously waiting all week for Sunday’s football showdowns. I think the Bears can do it and even win the big one, but with names like Manning, Brady and Brees still in the mix, it is not going to be easy. Nor will it be easy when the respective teams’ mojo’s are in play. Damn you Marie Laveau! Damn all of you Marie Laveaus!

Happy healthy weekends to all. Go Bears!
