This is the lead story on CNN.com. What the fuck dont these people understand about 'Plead guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor?' This guy got a 13-year old girl drunk AND gave her part of a Quaalude to rape her. These people are upset because 'The filmmakers objected to his being arrested en route to (a) film festival, which held a tribute to him this year'. Holy shit! So they are OK with the fact that he drugged AND raped this girl but its NOT OK to grab him on his way to a film festival because THATS crossing a line? These directors/actors/producers make Polanski out to be someone who is single handedly saving kids from disease in some third world country. HE MAKES MOVIES! Get over it and yourselves.

The following is 100% Fiction. Take it for what it is.
About four years ago when I found out I was going to Washington D. C. for a work trip I decided to make a small vacation out of it also. I made arrangements with my company to take a full week of paid vacation after my four days of drumming up business for the software company I work for back home.
I had heard the best way to see D.C. was with one of the many charter touring companies. You pay them money they provide transportation and tickets to the various monuments and museums. I would make a whole day of seeing the White House as well as the various presidential and war memorials. I would also spend a few days going through all the buildings of the Smithsonian. That was all fine and good but what I really wanted to see was Arlington National Cemetery.
Arlington, for me anyway, was a duty to go and see. It was a duty, that as an American, I believed I owed to the men and wom ... Read more ...
Every few years we are reminded, for better or for worse, what a true hero is. Just before 9/11 Bud Light was running radio ads entitled Real American Heroes. In these ads an announcer describes to us how the guy who invented the drink umbrella that keeps our drink a few degrees cooler by shading it is a Real American Hero while a cheesy rock ballad singer expounds its virtues in the background. After 9/11 when we were painfully reminded that one type of hero is someone who runs into a burning building while everyone else is running out Bud Light quietly changed the title of the radio ads to Real Men of Genius.
Today Les Paul died at age 94. For those of you who dont know Les Paul invented the solid body guitar and multi track recording. Multi track recording basically allows all the instruments and voices to have their own dedicated track on a recording. Every type of music, TV show, commercial and movie made today uses multi track recording in some way or another. Think about th ... Read more ...
In the last couple of days it has come out in the news that David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez tested positive for steroids in 2003. It seems no one in Major League Baseball that can do anything cares. Why? They put butts in the seats. And as much as the fans call it a sport MLB is in actuality a business. It is a business that is shy to bite the hands that feed it, namely the big name star players. These current players are pretty much immune to any type of disciplinary actions due to the lawyers and players reps. Oh sure they might get a slap on the wrist with suspensions or fines as long as they promise not to do it again. But there is one silver lining. Hopefully, the only way they are getting into the Baseball Hall of Fame is the same we can, by buying a ticket.
What does this mean in the long term? Well for one entrance to Cooperstown will be as scarce as World Series titles for Boston. Baseball was held in high regard as Americas pastime. Any hard working kid with talent could b ... Read more ...

And it got me to thinking that we need to be harder on these types of so-called human beings. It seems to me as soon as you touch a child in an inappropriate manner you GIVE UP YOU RIGHTS in society period. These pieces of shit need to be locked away FOREVER. They cannot be rehabilitated, they cannot be fixed, and they certainly cannot be allowed to walk around in public searching for their next victim.
Now before you start posting any crap about They deserve a chance to TRY and be rehabilitated OR theyre sick like alcoholics are. Hear me out. These kinds of people are hard wired into doing these kinds of acts. They either get off on it and/or they view it as something they need to do. Either way the only way to stop them is to lock them up and throw away the key. These things they do to children arent like being a ... Read more ...
