Variations on a Perverted Theme
Pssst, would you be interested in buying an 11 year old’s virginity? No? How about getting chummy with a pedophile priest or sending your child to a school where he or she learns there are more than two genders? After all, raping young virgins, pedophilia, and gender confusion are just variations on a sick theme.
An unidentified Salt Lake City woman was charged with attempting to peddle her 11 year old daughter’s virginity for what’s apparently the going price in Utah of $10,000, quite a bit over what Afghani Muslim moms get for their daughters but still a bargain, as well as a bonus for the puchaser who only wanted the Salt Lake mom to provide her child for oral sex purposes.
He may have gotten that idea after the mom had the girl model lingerie for him.
The mother has been charged with two counts of aggravated sex abuse and two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor after her boyfriend ratted her out. The girl is, hopefully, in protective custody. The frustrated john is still on the loose and on the prowl. (http://huff.to/jHejfo)
If they had all lived in the Netherlands, the Dutch and any number of Catholic priests would have been in their corner. . .

Taxes, Taxes, Taxes!
Taxes, Taxes, Taxes!
For those residing under rocks or in Neverland, on or about April 15th, you will be expected to pony up an excessively high percentage of your hard-earned income to Uncle Sam or to his state and municipal imitators.
Of course, if you’re among the 35% or so of Americans who are living scotfree of income taxes, you’re “in like Flynn” on April 15th, exempt from what Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. called, “the price we pay for civilization,” what 21st century taxpayers would call an inordinate charge, which taxpayers would call the people who don’t pay any income taxes leeches.
What better word describes people who suck at the public teat and who contribute nothing toward the the sustenance of that teat?
Still, there’s even more bad news for us honest taxpayers: For those who haven’t noticed, income taxes are just the beginining. In governmental sleights of hand designed to make us schlups think the IRS and its state counterparts are the only governmental pocket-pickers and to convince us that taxes are really in the public’s best interests, the feds, states, and localities have cooked up all kinds of thievery.
Ken and Daria Dolan outline just some of those tricks of the governmental trade: http://aol.it/hWuFJt
Take, for instance, what are termed “sin taxes,” financial penalties for what bureaucrats deem activities detrimental to our health and moral well being. Testimony to political hypocrisy, the imposition of such behavioral taxes presupposes the moral superiority of the imposers who, all too often, are imposters.
The Dolans cite levies on liquor, gambling, and smoking but include in other categories taxes on equally “sinful” pursuits such as strip shows and the like as well as taxes on those who indulge in a friendly game of poker with playing cards. . .

Ethics? Schmethics! Part One
Ethics? Schmethics! Part One
Ethics: the rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc. (Dictionary.com)
There’s something about celebrity whether achieved in the entertainment arena or in that other entertainment arena, politics, that imbues stars with a sense of entitlement to greater power, to greater greed, to a greater number of the opposite sex.
They tend to forget those “rules of conduct.”
It must be the adulation from enthralled audiences that convinces many entertainment and political celebs that they’re exceptional, above it all, the cat’s meow as was said in olden times, and not subject to the same moral and ethical constraints applicable to the hoi polloi.
In politics, ethical lapses are certainly not confined to Democrats. Remember Florida Congressman Mark Foley and South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. (Maybe it’s the name, Mark?)
However, Democrats are just so damned good at perverting power that they can’t be denied the title of Consummate Ethical Thrashers.
If Ya Can’t Beat ‘Em, Buy ‘Em! President Obama learned that trick of the political trade from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: Stifle recalcitrance with remunerations. Or maybe he learned it in Chicago, but there they usually just smash kneecaps.
Harry bought the Obamacare vote of Senator Mary Landrieu . . .
