Hey, Now

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Loretta Nall, the Libertarian Party's write-in candidate for governor of Alabama, is campaigning on her cleavage and hoping that voters' eyes will eventually refocus on her platform. Everything in the world about her is here.

Well, That Settles It

Mystery Solved

Channel 11 was in town to cover the publication of the sex offender list. The news report wasn't long enough (or interesting enough) to post on youtube, but Sheriff David Walker did make an appearance. Just to be clear: the man in the photo is not a sex offender but is instead our Sheriff (and a faithful reader of The Blog - or so I'm told.) (Comments are turned off - They would probably have been funny, but I don't trust you nuts. :) ) Edit: Ok, I turned them off after a wise guy snuck in - although it started off on a funny note.

A page that explains the photographer's artistic intent is here. I'm hypnotized by the photo but am disturbed by it as well.

Playboy came to Dallas this week and chose this SMU coed to appear in it's "Girls of Conference USA" issue. Her myspace page here. She wants these things. Edit: Since posted, she has turned her myspace page to "private" and removed the "things I want" page. If she gets freaked by this much attention, just wait until she gets neekid.

Rush suggested that Michael J. Fox was "acting" when he was shaking in the campaign ad (see below.) What a tool.

The Scarlett Letter

Allow me to be in the minority here. Richardson has passed an ordinance prohibiting a "registered sex offender" from living within 2,000 feet of a school, playground, yada yada yada. That, in essence, prevents such a person from living in the city. Every one thinks of a "registered sex offender" as someone who abducts strangers off the streets. But here is a very common scenario: A very stupid and immature 20 year old is dating a 16 year old. They have consensual sex. Father of the 16 year old calls the cops. The cops refer it to the DA's office to get it off their desk. The DA's office knows it is no big deal (hey, I've been there) but is scared to dismiss the case because technically the act violated the Penal Code. So they offer a probation as a plea bargain. But, under the law, any probation for that offense requires the 20 year old to register as a sex offender. So what's the 20 year old to do? Even if he rejects the plea bargain, his only alternative is to have a trial where he will be convicted (he had sex with someone under age) and then beg for .....probation. And, if he gets it, he has to register as a sex offender. So either way he get a Scarlett S placed on his forehead and then finds out that cities like Richardson don't even want him living there. The system is screwed up. Tomorrow (Wednesday) the Messenger will print a list of those "registered sex offenders". Before you pass judgment, you might want to know the facts of each case.
