S.N.M.C. and some other stuff.

Yeah, I know, I forgot the SNMC last week. Sorry. This one's from a band called Stuck Mojo. I try not to post political stuff, but with all that's going on in the world, it becomes more and more difficult not to.

Open Season

Sadly, the Dumb-o-crats don't seem to understand that GW has committed us to help Iraq rebuild. As Rome was not built in a day, neither will Iraq. If we pull out now, the terrorists will wrest control away, and we'll be in even more of a pickle than we are now. Sometimes I wonder if the Dems WANT us to lose.

Bottom line: We must not fail in Iraq, despite the Left's demand that we do so.

OK, enough political bullshit.

Here's something else that REALLY tweaks my giblets, courtesy of USAtoday.com.


Mass. girl's overdose raises questions
By Denise Lavoie, Associated Press

"HULL, Mass. — In the final months of Rebecca Riley's life, a school nurse said the little girl was so weak she was like a "floppy doll." The preschool principal had to help Rebecca off the bus because the 4-year-old was shaking so badly. And a pharmacist complained that Rebecca's mother kept coming up with excuses for why her daughter needed more and more medication. None of their concerns was enough to save Rebecca."

Sad.

"Rebecca — who had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity and bipolar disorder, or what used to be called manic depression — died Dec. 13 of an overdose of prescribed drugs, and her parents have been arrested on murder charges, accused of intentionally overmedicating their daughter to keep her quiet and out of their hair."

What I'd like to know is, how in the HELL do you diagnose a 4 year old as bipolar? It seems your PartsGuy isn't the only one, as we continue;

"But the tragic case is more than a story about one child. It raises troubling, larger questions about the state of child psychiatry, namely: Can children as young as Rebecca be accurately diagnosed with mental illnesses? Are rambunctious youngsters being medicated for their parents' convenience? And should children so young be prescribed powerful psychotropic drugs meant for adults?"

I'll answer these questions for you, in order. 1)NO. 2)YES, absolutely. 3)NO.

I'm not going to make like Dr Spock, or whoever, but having been a child once myself, I can say one thing for certain: Kids, especially boys, are going to be kids, which entails noise, broken stuff, running around the house, wiping boogers on their sisters, etc. If you can't handle that fact, THEN YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS REPRODUCING!

Again, from the article:

"Rebecca's uncle, James McGonnell, and his girlfriend, Kelly Williams, who lived with the Rileys, told police that the Rileys would put their kids to bed as early as 5 p.m. Rebecca, they said, often slept through the day and got up only to eat.

When Michael Riley decided the kids were "acting up," he told Carolyn to give them pills, McGonnell and Williams told police."

"Later that night, McGonnell told police, he heard someone struggling to breathe and found Rebecca gurgling as if something was stuck in her throat. McGonnell told police he wiped vomit from his niece's face, then kicked in the door to her parents' room and yelled at the Rileys to take Rebecca to the emergency room.

Instead, Carolyn Riley said, she gave her daughter a half-tablet of Clonidine."

LOVELY.

Have you ever watched decent people who would like nothing more than to have oodles of kids go through not being able to have kids? I'm here to tell you, it just plain fucking sucks. Meanwhile, half-witted, unemployed, welfare sucking, low end of the genetic totem pole drop kids left and right, and treat them as annoying assholes who bother them while they're trying to watch Oprah.

Her parents deserve .45 caliber justice. Fucking white trash.

RIP, Rebecca.

May you finally be at peace.

Oops,

So, yeah, I didn't post the Sunday Night Music Clip. Other things occurred which tied up my day, plus I just plain forgot.

So, here's another clip from Saxon. This one's their interpretation of a Christopher Cross song, 'Ride Like The Wind'. Interesting song for them to cover, and I like it.

Ride Like The Wind


I have also decided that I'm not going to put step bars on my truck, as we managed to break a body mount bolt trying to install them. So, screw it. I returned the step bars, and I'll use the money for other stuff. Fixing the bolt would involve drilling a hole in a perfectly solid cab, and I can't quite bring myself to do it. I'm gonna call a body shop tomorrow and see what they think.

Snow, and Sunday Night Music Clip

So anyway, Mother Nature decided we didn't have enough snow on the ground and threw a couple feet of the stuff our way. I am so sick of shoveling it ain't funny. The city finally plowed out my alley, so I can park my truck in the back again! Yay!


Anyways, found a good clip this week, from the TV show Moonlighting, where they did a version of 'Taming Of The Shrew'. A cool cover of " Good Lovin' ". Enjoy.
