Feb 13, 2004 Poor Martha: Under normal circumstances I don’t bother with the trials of celebrities. Martha Stewart’s trial holds interest for me in only one thing. She is accused of lying to the FBI. The law says we are not allowed to lie to any federal agency. That is a bad thing. A precedent for lying to authorities has already been established by our former liar-in-chief and his co-president. If Willie and Mrs. Jeff can tell lies repeatedly to federal authority without penalty and imprisonment, why can’t Martha? Poor Scott: Mr. Peterson has been granted a change of venue to San Mateo. This trial is still a tough one to call. It may be Mr. Peterson is just an uncaring scumbag who just wanted to sell his wife’s car and run away with someone else to Mexico. Poor Michael: With all the latest allegations flying around, showing historical predilection toward all things accused of, I don’t think Jacko’s “Dancin on the SUV” is going to take off as a new fad. Besides, with the ELF, (Environmentalist Liberation Front) against all forms of “SUV-ism” we have another major case of extremist liberalism vs. extremist liberalism. Poor Rush: My verdict is still out on this one. The attorneys against Mr. Limbaugh have put on the rubber gloves and the proctology lubricant to inspect every orifice of Mr. Limbaugh’s life. Even the ACLU had to jump in to slow down this planned pogrom because they see maddeningly inconsistent conflicts of interest. If the ACLU does not support Mr. Limbaugh, then the glare of the double standard would become more intense against the anti-constitutionality of many of the ACLU’s defensive posturing in First Amendment cases and their defense of certain Hollywood elitists. (Gee, even I’m confused here.) Poor Saddam: The Shiite Muslims have my vote on this one. They are demanding old Saddam be tried and executed right there in Iraq. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of sympathy for the former dictator and mass murderer (except from demic- rats). There seems to be no hope at all for a sentence other than the death penalty. Perhaps a change of venue to San Mateo, California is in order? I say let the Shiites have their trial. Let Iraq see its former favorite son, elected by 99.6% of the people, hanged for his crimes against humanity and the world. Poor Bonanno Family: The government is finally getting some cooperation from some of the more conservative fringe of the Mafia. Who would have thought that anyone in the Mafia would be bold enough to come out of the closet as “anti-death penalty”, for innocent people? One of the prized methods of securing the cooperation of anyone for mob activities was to kill or threaten to kill an innocent member of a person’s family. This is much like what terrorist organizations in the world of radical Islam do when they blow up busloads of innocent school kids. Well, it seems someone had received enough conservative values training in college, or by listening to the EIB Network to realize that it was perhaps wrong for innocent people to be dying . Perhaps, it was more important that the guilty scum who killed innocent people should be locked away forever. Whoever the person was that wore that “wire” and gained the evidence against the Family Bonanno has my vote for “TIMES Person of the Year”. Poor al Qahtani (WHO?): This guy was actually stopped and returned alive to Saudi Arabia back in August 2001. This guy was purportedly the 20th September 11th, hijacker. After being returned to Saudi Arabia, he ran to Afghanistan; was captured there and is now serving time in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. One thing for sure, he is a well-traveled terrorist. Poor al Qahtani has missed out a couple of times now on his opportunity for martyrdom and receipt of his 70 Paradise virgins. I almost feel sorry for the poor schlub. Poor Celebrities: The recent spate of very bad celebrity photographs like those of Ms. Naomi Judd, Mr. Nick Nolte, Mr. James Brown, Mr. Michael Jackson, Ms. Diana Ross and Mr. Glen Campbell to name just a few, has really shown me the value of “reality T.V.” It is amazing what off stage celebrity can look like under the eye of the police profile photographer. I say keep those make-up people out of the precincts, and by all means, don’t let the “Queer Eye” crew redecorate those holding cells.
