A change of plans

I am back. I was going to drone on about Paula Abdul and her "dirty" manicure that gave her a bad infection. I mean there she was in front of some legislature, California's I assume, to give testimony as to why NEW laws are needed to clean up the manicure industry. I am thinking that the laws now are sufficient because hounding some Korean manicurist and salon owner with law suits may be reason enough to properly sterlize their stuff, if not it seems that without the rancor they can use the same set of rules, etc that are used with tattoo parlors. That is just me.

I did find it funny that she was up there giving her damn sob story. What does she DO to deserver being in the public eye. Forget American Idol, Lord knows I try, I mean they could find any nice breasted female to do the same shit that she does, talk sweetly and barely criticize when necessary. They are a dime a dozen in Hollywood and besides her voice was never that good, so what does she really know. Then again, Corey Clark knows what she knows. She likes younger guys to nail her but she obviously does not look for articulate young men. I have no trouble with that. What ever she does in her bedroom, or who ever she does, is none of my business. Unless she or he film it for my sick entertainment, then I am in.

I did not want to do that but I was watching CNN last night at ten with the former prosecutor lady's show. They were doing stuff on Canada's favorite sister killer and victim, Karla Homolka. She is due to be released and wants the media off her back. The Americans on this show were funny. I mean they know shit all about Canadian jurisprudence (how is that for a long word) and the Canadian penal system. That was apparent from their comments. It was purely a reactionary response with no attempt to understand the context of the deal.

It was, in retrospect, and then, a bad deal from the Crown. It only proved how badly the police botched the gathering of the physical evidence. For whatever reason, she never had to "pay" for her lies or real lack of disclosure (the drugging and raping the two Jane Does). Unfortunately, like most of life, the past cannot be undone. As distasteful as I find it, we are a society of laws, and she has upheld her end of a bad bargain. She is considered "free" to live her life, having paid her debt to society. The Crown could have done something when the reality of it hit in but I think they let it be to avoid the embarrassment to the Crown and police, hoping that things would be forgotten when she is released. Wrong! Another botched strategy to try to save face instead of admitting error and correcting things. We do live in a society where people are not accountable and this is the price of that.

I am too insane right now to go on, so Ciao.
