sundry sunday commentary

various and sundry commentary on events in the news and other places:

1. last nights race in charlotte: mmmmm k, so the track in charlotte is fucked up. was this maybe done on purpose so that both times this year they could fix it so jimmie fucking johnson could win? jfj wins 4th consecutive race at lowe's ... jimmie's house indeed. it's time to call the big bad wolf in to blow his house down.

2. on saddam hussein's legal rights. i'm sick to fucking death of hearing about his legal rights. why do we have to be so civilized with the rest of the world? and why does it have to be such a complex process? i don't think the trials at nuremburg had this much red tape and all the criminals were punished accordingly. i really don't give two shits about saddam's civil rights... did anyone care about the civil and legal rights of all the people he tortured and killed ... NO. sometimes it just kills me that we are forced to be so humane and that we have to live to the highest standard of the law just because we are who we are.

3. baseball playoffs... not a huge fan so ... who cares? other than for historical value i'd like to see the white sox take the whole thing.

4. an inmate in the missouri prison system continues to fight back and forth with the state over her right to have an abortion. the big hold up? the state would have to pay to transport the inmate to the abortion clinic and would have to pay for her security while she was there having the procedure done. the bottom line is that the state doesn't want to use public money to fund an abortion. they have been to court now 3 times over this, the final judge's ruling says that the woman does have a right to the abortion and that the state has no legal right to stop the woman from obtaining the abortion, meaning that by refusing transport to the clinic they would be denying her the right to choose. OKAY ! here's the deal with this ... the state would pay far less money if they would just let the woman have the abortion, if they let her carry this pregnancy to term the pregnancy in question cost the taxpayer in terms of prenatal care and costs of delivery. i'm not pro abortion, i'm not anti abortion, but the argument about whether or not to do this is ludicrous, especially if they are arguing over the money. that's a pretty fucking lame argument because one way or another the state is going to pay... why not just argue it under what they are really arguing about ... ? i know, i know ... the argument is over using STATE funds to pay for an abortion and they don't wanna piss off the righteous right in the state.

okay enough bitching for sunday !

peace out
