Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr……. There's a nice place in HELL for people like this….

I say that, as the nephew of a developmentally disabled person. 😡

The Story Via smdailyjournal.com:

A pair of Redwood City siblings kept their mentally disabled sister in a backyard metal shed for 20 years with only a thin blanket and heater for warmth while seven pit bulls lived inside their home, according to prosecutors who charged the pair with elder neglect.

Bertha Cano Lozano, 45, is also charged with embezzlement of an elder by a caretaker. Both she and her brother Jesus Cano Ramirez, 53, pleaded not guilty yesterday and remain in custody in lieu of $250,000 bail. They each return to custody Dec. 3 for a preliminary hearing and face up to five years and four months if convicted.

Redwood City police discovered Lozano and Ramirez’s sister, Amelia, Nov. 18 when responding to a call for a teenager brandishing a knife at them. During a search of the MacArthur Avenue property, police reported finding the 58-year-old woman clad in a thin gown cold and shivering in the backyard.

The woman has the mentality of a young child and told officers she lives in an 8-foot-by-12-foot metal shed because her siblings said there is no room in the house, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

Officers also reported finding a small space heater with a frayed cord, a thin mattress on the floor and a rudimentary commode. Amelia had a Barbie doll and coloring book for entertainment, Wagstaffe said.

She had no injuries and was removed from the property by Adult Protective Services.

Officers also reported finding seven pit bulls living inside the three-bedroom home.

Lozano and Ramirez reportedly were cashing Amelia’s Social Security checks and keeping the funds, Wagstaffe said.

I got one thing to say about this. Let those assholes rot in jail. Pitbulls over mentally disabled person. Grrrr. My aunt is developmentally disabled, I’ll be showing this to my mom, and will have to spend the next couple hours, trying to peel her from the ceiling. 😡

Thanks Oliver, I needed the laugh. 😀

Ugh: James Kirchick pisses in the Netroots Cheerios

Dang! Did someone do something to piss off James Kirchick? Not to get all ghetto on my readers…but, Damn homeboy got an attitude!

Kirchick Writes in the NY Daily News:

Barack Obama isn’t even President yet, and he’s already angering some of his most devoted followers on the party’s left wing. This is the mark of what could be a very successful presidency.

“With its congressional majority, the Democratic Party has refused to seriously try to end the war, to stop the bailout and to stop the trampling of civil liberties, just to name a few off the top of my head,” wrote David Sirota on the popular liberal blog OpenLeft, decrying the serial betrayals of Obama and the congressional Democratic majority. The Democratic Party, he wrote, has “faced no real retribution” for its manifold heresies, something that Sirota believes he and his band of angry bloggers must change. “We better understand why this happened,” he fumed.

Allow me to provide an answer. You don’t matter.

Ouch. That’s harsh. 😮

The week before Tuesday’s meeting, Obama let it be known that he bore “no grudge” against Lieberman. Setting a positive tone so early after a hard-fought election, he is already making good on his promise to, if not end, then at least lessen the “petty partisanship” he decried in the campaign. Among the positive outcomes of this week’s abject lesson in letting bygones be bygones, it is reassuring to see that the leadership of the Democratic Party isn’t as petty, vindictive and small as its left-wing supporters.

Not a good way to win or keep friends, if you ask me. I mean, I’m no Miss Congeniality here, but I don’t go around pissin’ into electric fans either. (Or so to speak…)

Freaky Deaky Post of the Day: Western Canada Meteorite Scares People… (Boo!)

Via Breit Bart:

Back Story Via the Edmonton Sun:

Researchers are trying to track down a meteorite that flashed through the skies Thursday night before a snowfall makes the search impossible.

Otherwise they’ll have to wait until spring when the snow melts, and chances of finding it may be slim by then, said Frank Florian, director of space sciences at Edmonton’s Telus World of Science.

“That’s why we need to iron this down today,” he said.

Florian has been receiving hundreds of phone calls and e-mails about the meteor sighting, all with varying accounts of where the flash of light took place.

“We’re trying to take all the reports and put them together in a meaningful conclusion as to where it might have fallen,” Florian said.

The rock seems to have flown in the general direction east of Red Deer and west of Saskatoon and appears to be about 18 metres or larger, he added.

Wow… Reminds me of a song:

Aw Crap!: Group Alleges Racially-Motivated Election Night Attacks by Chicago Police

I expect that we’ll hear more of this as time goes on….

Via Breit Bart: (Dateline WMAQ Chicago)

I just wonder, were the Police Officers that did the beating White or Black? That will answer the racism charge.

However, judging from comments on the WMAQ site, Chicago still got issues when it comes to racism.

This is truly a sad story. 🙁

Back story here

I’m sure some idiot liberal will say, “See? This is why we need to get rid of guns!” While flapping their Liberal stained hands in the air.

Let me be clear on something, with owning a firearm, comes responsibility; obviously this man neglected to properly store his firearms away from the eyes of his son and his son accessed those firearms and now we have a double murder on our hands. Either this or that kid knew where the firearms were and how into get into the cabinet where the firearms were located.

Either way, this is a extremely sad case, and there is no easy answer, Guns are a America freedom that we cherish. However, with that freedom comes responsibility, we should always remember that. Least sad events like this happen.

The Obamassiah-Elect outlines his plan to create 2.5 million jobs by 2011

First the video of Bambi-Elect via Breit Bart:

The Story, Via CNN:

President-elect Barack Obama on Saturday offered an outline of his economic recovery plan and jobs were the top priority.

American workers will rebuild the nation’s roads and bridges, modernize its schools and create more sources of alternative energy, creating 2.5 million jobs by 2011, Obama said in the weekly Democratic address, posted on his Web site.

“These aren’t just steps to pull ourselves out of this immediate crisis,” he said. “These are the long-term investments in our economic future that have been ignored for far too long.”

Details of the plan are still being worked out by his economic team, Obama said, but he hopes to implement the plan shortly after taking office January 20. 

He referred to figures out this week showing that new home purchases in October were the lowest in 50 years, and that 540,000 new unemployment claims had been filed — the highest in 16 years.

“We must do more to put people back to work and get our economy moving again,” he said. More than a million jobs have been lost this year, he said, and “if we don’t act swiftly and boldly, most experts now believe that we could lose millions of jobs next year.”

The plan will be aimed at jump-starting job creation, Obama said, and laying the foundation for a stronger economy.

“We’ll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children, and building wind farms and solar panels, fuel-efficient cars and the alternative energy technology that can free us from our dependence on foreign oil and keep our economy competitive in the years head,” he said.

He noted he will need support from both Democrats and Republicans to pass such a plan, and said he welcomes suggestions from both sides of the aisle.

“But what is not negotiable is the need for immediate action,” he said. “Right now, there are millions of mothers and fathers who are lying awake at night wondering if next week’s paycheck will cover next month’s bills.

“There are Americans showing up to work in the morning, only to have cleared out their desks by the afternoon. Retirees are watching their life savings disappear, and students are seeing their college dreams deferred. These Americans need help, and they need it now.”

Throughout history, he said, Americans have been able to rise above their divisions to work together, he said.

“That is the chance our new beginning now offers us, and that is the challenge we must rise to in the days to come,” Obama said. “It is time to act. As the next president of the United States, I will.”

I personally think that we, as the loyal opposition, should take a wait and see approach towards this. It could help America. It might cost America a bit. But to sit and judge it foolishly before it is implemented will only serve to make us look foolish.

So, as someone who’s not had a job since 2005. I will reserve judgement at this time.

Bummer: US Spy Agencies Report Predict Decline in US Dominance on World Affairs.

A sad, but realistic look at World affairs from an outside source. There are many things to blame; Bush, Neo-Conservatism, and the like. There are some that would say that the BBC is liberally biased. But I disagree, I think it is a real-world view of things. Our world in changing, we, as Americans ought to embrace it, but be prepared.
