A Puzzlement For Women In Red States!


When it comes to women in red states, you know the ones, those who cannot possibly be in charge of their own bodies because they are just plain stupid and irresponsible --- yes, the ones that don't know that "the body has a way of  shutting things down, cleaning things out, and turning things off before leaving the room," or ---- whatever!   I was wondering just how it is that such women are allowed to become gynecologists! That seems to be terribly dangerous!  Yes?   My lord!  What an absolutely dreadful risk!   Women doctors?  Women "lady parts" doctors?  How could they possibly figure it all out?  Well, there must not be any of those creatures in red states. That is truly all that I can figure out.   Check please!

Playing Cops And Robbers...


There are so many ways at looking at this awful decision by the jury.  One way that sticks in my mind is the maturity level, or lack there of of Mr. Zimmerman.  I see him as a man - child, or rather a man that stopped maturing at about 12,  perhaps at the most 17,  so, at best, what we actually had was two 17 yr. olds - one wanting to be a policeman when he grew up!  The awful problem is that he actually grew into a full fledged school yard bigot.  He had all the makings of a school yard bully who shouts ugly words and  brandishes a weapon.  A real big man!  Now if only he could be a "real" policeman just imagine how much fun being a "grownup" would be!  He was ever so close to being that tough guy with a real badge ---------  All he had to do in Florida was sign up to be the neighborhood watch person  ----- carry a real gun  ----- with real bullets ---- and honest to god, it would be like the real thing. Cops and robbers!  The very best part was that now he could stop all the other kids that were not the same race as he was, and, of course, he would get by with it.  People thought that was just fine, and he knew it.  Yes, he could act out his 12 - 17 year old's fantasy - the age where  his maturing process stopped dead in the water.  Sadly, another 17yr. old would pay the price.

One might wonder how in the world "Lil George" was able to convince adults that his head was smashed into the concrete over and over again when just one time would probably crack his skull wide open.  Oh well.  I mean really?  How is that possible?  I know George has the imagination of a child when he tells this story, but how do you get adults to buy in to such a tall tale?

Of course, the hard reality of this story is that the real child will never get to mature, and the 29 yr. old will be able to return to his world of bigotry with his trusty loaded gun. The real child is gone from our world, but George can still roam his three block domain reminding us that last night, according to Lisa Bloom, "Was not a good night for civil rights."  The hard reality is that a bigoted 29 yr. man - child can hunt other children with his "for real" loaded gun because the law says that's absolutely fine.  Trayvon Martin.  His name was Trayvon Martin, and he didn't want to play "Cops and Robbers."  He wanted to watch the All-Star Game ------ and grow up.
