Soccer Mom: Unplugged

Ever wonder what the freak is going on?  Like maybe you fell asleep in the movies and accidentally woke up in the middle of the midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture show and it's still 1975?  You can only wish for such luck.  

An employee of the Washington Times got stung by police posing online as a 13 year old.  This, uh, man (not sure that's the right term) is the 53 year old Human resources director for the paper.  The sicko did all the same stupid things you've heard about on the televised exposes of such stings.  He spoke explicitly, sent graphic pictures and arranged a meeting.  The paper suspended Mr. Randall Casseday without pay pending results of the investigation which places the paper higher on the morality scale than the DNC who still stand by Bill Clinton.   

Then you've got WaPo reporting on the suggestively sloganned t-shirts that teens are sporting.  Read the article and scratch you head, like I did, at the genius {sarcasm} parents who've decided that it's AOK to wear a shirt with the likes of "Don't call me a cowgirl until you see me ride" emblazened across it.  Yeah, you read that right.  Let's just completely de-evolve and remove any semblance of love or emotional involvement from sex.  Let's allow our children to advertise like fertile bobcats sending out pheremones.  One step closer to apehood... one step further away from God.

Karen Fletcher was indicted by a grand jury for the content of her internet site.  AP is reporting that Fletcher's website sells stories about children being tortured and sexually brutalized.  She generally writes them herself and sells them for profit to pedophiles.  Isn't that a nice hobby for a 54 year old woman?  5 years times 6 counts... Cross your fingers the ACLU doesn't take her up pro bono like they did NAMBLA.

Here's one about an apple that didn't fall far from the tree.  A 14 year old boy in MN is accused of feeding hard liquor to his 3 year old little sister, now hospitalized.  His parents should've stopped him but apparently they and the baby's grandmother were all drunk.  The child's blood alcohol level was 1.2.   That's beyond the legal driving limit for adults.  In all 9 children were removed from the home. 

The good news is that in almost all of these instances people are being held to account.  People are being arrested and charged.  Except, of course,  for the Washington Post article about sexed up t-shirts, in which case I suppose the best we can do is send Bill Engvall over to the parents of these teens to say "Here's your sign". 

This is our American culture in 2006.

If I'm snoring and Tim Curry is singing loudly and obnoxiously about being a Transylvania Transvestite,  just turn down the volume and let me sleep, okay?
