As if we somehow needed more proof (no, we don’t) that our laughably so-called “justice system” in this country has gone completely and utterly off the rails, a woman in Guelph, Ontario has gotten of light, thanks to Justice Cas Herold, with the cold-blooded murder of not one, but two children.  Not just kids, but babies!  Both of them were under three months old! It’s days like this that I sometimes question my opposition to capital punishment.

Both of the victims were her own children.

Some of you without strong stomachs of anger management issues might not want to read much further, just so you know.  Pieces of walking garbage like this so-called woman could gag a maggot:

GUELPH–A Guelph woman who admitted killing her two sons was acquitted of two counts of murder yesterday, prompting an angry outburst from one victim’s father and tears of relief from the other.

“You’re a f—ing murderer,” the woman’s former partner yelled at her before storming from the courtroom at Guelph’s Superior Court. “No matter what, you’re a f—ing murderer.”

The man, followed from the courtroom by his mother and grandmother, could then be heard screaming and banging in the corridor.

Yeah, he’s pissed, and who the hell can blame him?  The bitch murdered his son!

Let’s take a look at the facts of this case, shall we?  For once, they really are quite simple and straightforward…

1. In Kitchener in 1998, she smothered her 7-week old son.
2. Just 4 years later, in 2002, she killed her 9-week-old son in Guelph.
3. She admitted to killing her children.
4. She also admitted to thinking about killing her other two surviving kids. 😯

There you have it.  She’s 27 years old, has murdered exactly half of all the children she’s ever given birth to, and is thinking about finishing the job on the others (a boy and a girl).

Maximum sentence: seven years.  Toss in statutory release and the lovely 2-for-1 pizza justice that scumbags get for pre-trial custody, and she’ll likely be out by next summer.  Oh, did I mention the best part?  You aren’t allowed to know who she is.

That’s because, while she was 21 when she killed her second victim, she was only 17 the first time she killed a baby (and got caught), so she gets to hide behind the anonymity that the lovely little YCJA provides for all murdering little bitches/bastards under the age of 18.  Nice friggin’ job, Chretien & Co., the gift that just keeps on giving.

And you can’t return the God damned thing…

Now THIS is what I call an attack ad…

The goodness just keeps on a-comin’, doesn’t it? Time, I think, for a little bit from the opinion pages.

The bumbling professor 17:58

Over at the Sun, Greg Weston decided to take a look at what Dear Leader Dion was up to and… well, I guess he wasn’t exactly impressed:

He visits a school to talk about tainted meat and hiring more inspectors.

Maybe in the coming weeks, he’ll visit a meat packing plant to talk about education. […]

Campaigns inevitably become a metaphor for what kind of government voters can expect from a party and its leader.

In Dion’s case, so far, all signs point to a Liberal government, which, at best, would be confused, if not chaotic.

In Montreal this week, Dion casually mentioned in passing that a Liberal government would double the current $1,200 a year child care supplement introduced by Stephen Harper’s government.

There wasn’t a mother, child or other TV-friendly sign of daycare needs in the place.

And this twerp thinks he can run the country? Uh, no.

About time 18:15

Seems that Harper has gotten around to saying what everybody knows but no one wants to speak about the HypoGrits’ GreenShaftâ„¢ (not their (â„¢), of course; somebody else’s, but…. ah, screw it…). Everybody and their dog (except maybe Kyoto) knows exactly what that damned thing will do to us.

I, for one, am damned glad to see Harper coming up to the plate and saying it out loud:

MONTREAL — Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion’s proposed carbon tax would plunge Canada into a recession and reignite “old battles” over national unity, Conservative Leader Stephen Harper warned a Montreal business crowd Thursday morning.

Thanks for the heads-up, Captain Obvious.

Don’t screw with soldiers 18:40

And don’t screw with their families, either. Steve takes a dim view of that kind of crap.

After the program, Ryan Sparrow, the Tory’s director of communications, emailed CTV News saying Davis was a supporter of Liberal MP Michael Ignatieff

Harper, addressing a crowd in St.-Eustache, Que., Thursday afternoon, said Sparrow had “been suspended from the campaign (and) he has apologized to the individual in question.”

He said the email was “inappropriate” as it questioned “the motivation of a father of a deceased Canadian soldier.”

The “soldier’s father” in question, Jim Davis, showed plenty of class regarding the whole affair:

“That suspension upsets me,” Davis said. “We all learn from our mistakes and we become better people because of that. The last thing that I would want is somebody to have hardship over my son’s death. That’s not what this is all about, this is not politics.

“Ryan Sparrow made a mistake; we all make mistakes, and he apologized and I forgive him.”

Very kind of you, sir. No, I’m not being a smartass; I mean it.

But, as you likely know, our Prime Minister is a little more hard-nosed. The facts are that Davis’ comments were perfectly legit (I happen to agree with them) and he had every right to make them. I don’t like the turn that Harper’s Afghan policy has taken either, but Sparrow stepped on his own dick and now he has to pay for it.

For someone who demands to have her say…

…you’d think that Lizzy May would be glad to have her little piehole droppings spread as far and wide as possible. Not so, it seems. Buckdog got himself a nice little email from the Green Gestapo® because they didn’t like that he was letting May be heard…

You can check out Bucky’s barkback here, if you like. I don’t much care for the guy’s politics, but he’s gettin’ screwed here. So, with that in mind…

In a bit of a hurry here, so I’ll be quick. Just got this forwarded to my email (thanks, Larry) and it’s too damned good not to share.

Enjoy.

It’s still Thursday and the election is still chugging along. On the one hand, I’m tempted to bitch about it; on the other hand, I can’t remember the last time I had this much fun. 😆

One thing that I like about times like this is that some interesting folks tend to pop by and say howdy.

I’m not talking about politicians or pundits or such. I’m talking about what King Ralph would call “severely normal people.” Joe and Jane Lunchbox. I like those people. They’re the reason why I have the comments enabled on this site. Here’s two from today so far:

Shawn stopped by to give us a heads-up on what Elly May seems to think about us:

“Politicians are scared to death to mention the word tax. They think Canadians are stupid, and I fundamentally agree with that assessment.”
[pardon me whilst I trim the link for length -D

Always nice to know what the EnviroElitesâ„¢ think of the rest of us.

Pyper stopped by to, but she seemed to have something specific on her mind…

Would you please contact me directly. We are looking for assistance with a get out and vote campaign and could use your help.
Many thanks,
Pyper

Well Pyper, I have no idea what your politics are and guess what? I don’t care, either. If you’re interested in getting people off their butts and out to the polls, I’ll give you a hand. Nope, no strings. After all, it’s not like it would be the first time I gave space here to another point of view. Reply to the email I sent you and we’ll see what I can set up for you.

Things were quieter on the American campaign today. No pot shots, no partisan sniping, no “I endorse this message” commercials on the radio or TV… anywhere. They have more important things on their minds.

Both McCain and Obama have declared today to be off-limits for their respective campaigns. I don’t know about you, but I consider that to be an act of class… on both their parts. Some things are more important than taking swings at each other for a day. Things like the memory of the thousands who were murdered and the brave souls who dashed into the inferno while others ran. Things like the hearts of those who continue to grieve to this day, and the sacrifices of those who have been called to their country’s service in the aftermath.

This is no day for the crass minutiae of politics.

On this day, may the Lord offer his comfort to you all.

Though you may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, be not afraid, for He is with you.
And they are with Him now.
