Ok this woman and Andrea Yates are both from Texas? Well it's not the heat (yet) is there something in the water?

You may think I'm pissy now, but one day when you're all grown up you'll see I'm right.:P

Are you calling yourself old?

It was pretty fucking hot down here last week. It's a little better this week, but so far, I'm not holding out hope that we'll have as cool of a summer as we did last year (i.e. limited number of consecutive days over 95).

GA Book Club
 

After years of discussion about the idea, a couple GAs have decided to start a Yahoo book club. I gather they will select a book, tell people to read it by a certain time, and then discuss. It will be anonymous and brutally on topic. If you want to be invited, send an e-mail (from the anonymous account you want to register from) to gabookreview@yahoo.com .

Perfect! We should go on the road...

There is no solution.
 

I'm not a smoker, but I hate those people too.
Is the Oreo legislation (and related suits like McDonalds) really being pushed by fatties or overzealous plaintiffs' attorneys looking for the next big (no pun intended) thing - used to be phen-fen.
Rather than suing the manufacturers of fattening foods they should pass legislation expanding powers of child protective services to fine parents who feed their kids crap and allow them to watch tv all day without any physical exercise.

Spam
 

Has anyone else noticed a reduction in spam to hotmail/yahoo coinciding with the recent news/lawsuits?

Usually I have about 30-35 non-personal messages in my hotmail account when I get to work in the morning (even with the filter set pretty high). Recently, the number has decreased to about 15-20.

Or, at the risk of causing a religious flame war - perhaps something in the church. Both apparently devoutly religious and believed God told them to kill the kids. Now Andrea Yates had a history of depression (although voices not so much). No info on this one.

Damn. That was very good.

From what I know, this one was just plain psychotic.

There's a reason they put these people on suicide watch when they come out of their psychosis.

From the WTF File
 

If Yates' religious fanatic community hadn't told her her only purpose in life was to breed and obey her husband despite her documented severe post-partum depression and psychosis, she could've stopped having kids and gotten treatment so her kids' lives would've been saved. Can't tell yet with this one but isn't hearing voices from God a symptom of schizophrenia (which may coincide with a symptom of sincere extreme religious belief, but which I assume ultrareligious types would aver is not the same thing)?

AI
 

Anyone else see Josh Gracin on Fox and Friends this morning? He is kind of a goofy little shit isn't he? Supply clerk? In the Marines? Marines are supposed to kill people, not file fucking purchase orders in triplicate. Sheesh. At least his wife looked better than when they showed her that last night on AI -- maybe the Fox people helped her out a little bit.

They actually need to ban this?
 

Getting a forked tongue may soon be outlawed near you:

Who the fuck does this? Do they ever want to hold a job in their entire lives anywhere outside a Goth bar?

I support their right to grotesquely mutilate themselves into serpentine freaks, but this seems like one instance where it might be really, really wise to listen to what your mom says.

Shit, one of those stories ya gotta sign-up to read. Well, on a positive note perhaps if the person with the forked tongue could independently move both forky things (one up and one down and vice versa) it might, um, be useful?
