LaFave Walks

I was going to post about the double-standard that is the Deb LaFave case, but our friends at the Feedlot already did. Why reinvent the wheel?
I personally think the that her going free without jail time is ridiculous. If she was 14 and the guy was 25, he would be in jail and branded for life, not to mention he would have ever-increasing residency restrictions. As a male, though, I know all of the kids' buddies are saying congrats. It's society. Its funny, but really, its sad.

Vote for the least worst

KETV has a GOP gubernatorial debate on right now between Dave Nabity (local businessman), Dave Heineman (current governor who fell into the job when Mike Johanns got the hell out), and the Tom Osborne (if you don't know him, you are new to the state). Its ridiculous. First of all, somebody's been playing with Heineman's mic. They've got the echo feature on and it sounds like he is in the middle of a Quonset hut. Everybody is thanking the hosts for the questions. Just answer the damn question. They are all trying to get fired up about the issues, but none of them has the personality to get nasty. Nabity just said that he was concerned about two species...both of which were farmers. Granted, farmers and ranchers are a dying breed, and it is too bad. But they are not animals. They are not a "species." Osborne...I fall asleep every time he talks. Its not that interesting. I have a hard time listening to him talk about meth when I doubt he's ever seen it. Really, its not who you like the best, its who you hate the least.
I need to fluff my pillow.
