Remember the shocking interview Bill Kurtis had with Richard Speck (killer of 8 student nurses in Chicago) who had somehow avoided the death penalty? He'd taken hormones that left him with "breasts." He had become a total punk. Appeared with his boy friend. Apparantly doing lines of coke. He indicated "they" had now idea how much fun he was having in prison.

Some guys really need to be put down. Speck was one. And so is Castro.

The mayor who gives a whole different meaning to "saucy paws" says he'll be fine. :mad:

With apologies to John Buccigross. :rolleyes:
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner once again brushed off mounting calls to resign on Friday, saying at a hastily arranged news conference that he has decided instead to enter what he described as a behavioral counseling clinic for two weeks of "intensive therapy."

The decision comes after a total of seven women came forward this week to accuse him of sexual harassment and unwanted sexual advances.

"Oooooo, that hurt." They don't call you the King of Lunch Period for nothing.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but Korean TV gets some payback.

You probably remember KTVU’s royal eff up with reading obviously fake Asian names for the pilots of the Asiana crash. Names like “Wi To Lo” and “Ho Lee Fuk”.

It looks like a Korean news agency is having some fun at KTVU’s expense. After the landing gear failure of the Southwest flight at LGA they showed this graphic with American pilot names “Captain Kent Parker Wright”, “Co-Captain Wyatt Wooden Workman”.

They even went as far as making up fake names for people to interview. Flight instructor “Heywood U. Flye-Moore” and skeptical passenger “Macy Lawyers”.

Well played Korean TV, well played.

Revelation of 45K "investigation" into who "hacked" his account. . .campaign manager quits. . .Axelrod says "get thee gone." How long before Weiner pulls out?

Cops misusing their firearms is a becoming a problem you hear more about these days.

The point would be (a) to show the complete ineptitude that goes into situations like this and (b) to note how coddled and protected these guys are by their departments.

If I made a mistake at my job, as boneheaded as to shoot up a guy's car (and hit him in the leg) without talking to him, without even trying to subdue him, without even bothering to run the plates and realize that it was sitting in the driveway of the person it was registered to... I'd be fired faster than you can say "idiot", and my job is certainly not a life-and-death one. But when that happens to these guys open fire on innocent people (and their pets, for that matter)? Paid administrative leave.

Sure, there's an investigation, but I'd be curious to know just how frequently these guys actually do face some sort of consequence. How many are charged with assault using a deadly weapon or manslaughter (depending on how well they hit their targets)? How many are suspended without pay, demoted or fired? How many get relegated to gruntwork and have their careers ruined?
