50yr old arraigned in juvenile court for rape/muder 34yrs later???

March 21, 2010 2 comments

The rape murder of an 82 year old woman that was commited 34 years ago appears to be solved. This is paraphased from the LA Times 9/11/09. A Los Angeles man was stopped for a routine traffic violation and it was dicovered that his DNA matched that at the crime scene (I have no idea why DNA would come up in a trafic stop??).

Horible, horrible crime but here is the conundrum: the rape/murder was commited in 1975. At the time the suspect was 16 years old, a juvenile. He is now 50 but is being arraigned in a LA county  juvenile court instead of adult court.

This begs a ton of ethical, moral and legal questions. I’m not sure I quite understand the intent of the courts. I could use your feedback,

Thanks, 54

$94,000: the cost of becoming a Nun??

March 21, 2010 Leave a comment

LA Times 9/13/09, paraphrased: Woman cannot become a nun because her $94,000 in student loans keeps her from taking a “vow of poverty”. Humm… let’s see, no income, $94k in debt, sounds like poverty to me!!

4 Day Work Week?? Is this France??

March 20, 2010 Leave a comment

LA Times,: “companies contemplate four day work week in response to disgruntled worker demands”. GIVE ME A BREAK, I’ve been unemployed for a couple of months now with no end in sight and I would love to have a four day work week. Those of the entitled majority (and they ain’t 50+, WHM’s) appear to be grousing about the amount of hours they’re forced to work in a five-day work week.  Do the think we are French?                                                                                                          

For those of us middle-class men living off savings and our 401(k)s, give me a freaking break! GEE do you think some of them might be tenured Gov’t employees?

And now for my poem:                                                                                                     When we entitle those who don’t deserve                                                                    Oh, what a wicked web doth comes around to bite us in the ass

It doesn’t rhyme and like the joke in my earlier post, I frankly don’t give a damn. Just a thought for today.
