I had to go out and look for some good news before I launched into today's commentary on current events. The current events going on are just a litany of bad behavior, so I found this to help buffer the soul: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/26may_ozone.htm. Maybe there's hope yet for the Earth! Yea, good vibes. With that in place, let's talk about the scumbags in our midst.
1. Charles Roberts - the Amish school shooter. This shooting is absolutely heart-wrenching. Those poor little girls - they must have been terrified. And their families. There's just plain nothing worse than losing a child - nothing. And this is a community that's built on a foundation of non-violence. There's a reason the Amish try to stay at a distance from the modern world, and this is it. If only there could've been just a bit more distance between them and Charles Roberts. To all the sickos out there - if you want to take yourself out, be my guest. But leave children, yours or other people's, out of it.
2. Mark Foley - congressional swinger. So, this guy Foley has shown questionable interest (at best) in teenage boys for God knows how long, and no one ever did anything? I mean, the word is that this man's proclivities were common knowledge, so did they just not have proof until now? Or was it maybe that the Republicans who knew didn't want a scandal and let it go on regardless of the kids who might get hurt and the Democrats who knew wanted to wait until it would do the most political damage (say revealing it a month before elections) and let it go on regarless of the kids who might get hurt? I should think a whole lot of parents would be pretty upset about now that they sent their kids to Washington for a coveted opportunity to be part of the Congressional process only to find out that they may have been solicited by one of the congressmen and no one cared enough to stop the perv. Not okay.
And forgive me if I roll my eyes when he immediately checks himself into rehab - as if that explains/excuses everything. "Well, you see, I was drunk..." I'm sorry, pal, but alcohol doesn't turn you into a homosexual or a pedophile - not even Everclear can do that. You don't change your entire sexual proclivity just because you down too many cocktails. That's like saying if I just drank enough, I'd want to do it with Carol Channing. No, I won't, no matter how much I drink. I'll go from laughing too loud, to not being afraid to tell some guy he's hot, to dancing on a table, to throwing up, and never once will Carol Channing be on the radar. If it's not lurking in your head somewhere to begin with, alcohol ain't gonna put it in there.
3. Dustin Diamond amateur sex tape star - supposedly him in some three-way doing things that would require Lysol in a normal person's household. For pity's sake, Dustin. Did you not read my entry when your real estate/Web begging travesty began? If you don't get someone to manage your life, and at this point, I'm talking about making basic decisions - like what socks to wear - you are going to end up in a Salvation Army shelter eating free soup and drunkenly shouting, "I used to be someone!" Could your judgment be any worse? Is there ANY decision you are capable of making? I guess we'll soon be hearing that you've checked into rehab.
Don't forget, though - we may be repairing the ozone layer. Everyone just stay focused on that.

Okay, so what really disturbs me about all this the most is the mental picture I have of Dustin Diamond in a porn video. Ew. No. Why would someone pay $10 (or whatever it costs) to rent something like that? I mean, I question the genre anyway, but with DD in it???? Yech.
Ditto on the alcohol / Carol Channing thing. If booze made a person change his or her sexual tendencies, I'd have run the gammut by now with all the booze I've consumed over the years! And, let me check...nope, nope, no children, no women, no family members, no animals. I'm good.
