Vampire Reportedly Attacks Hobo, But Hobo Escapes -- and Unbitten?!?

That's a real stroke of luck. Cops in San Diego says a 55-year-old male hobo was attacked by a man with "vampire teeth" earlier this week. And while the bum did reportedly take a pretty good beatin', at least he didn't get bitten by the night creature.

The vampire allegedly attacked the tramp (link at bottom) outside a pharmacy on Monday, and apparently just in the nick of time, meaning right before the break of dawn at around 6:00 a.m. (Since don't vampires melt or something if they fail to get back in their coffins by sun-up?).

Maybe it was just such a haste to avoid that crippling dawn that led the vampire (suspect now in custody) to forget to bite the vagrant (Whoops!), as cops say the attack entailed only a beatdown upon and about the vagabond's head and ribs (resulting in a very bloodied wanderer, at the start of the day).

But then again, maybe the soon-approaching dawn had nothing to do with the lack of a bite during this attack.  I mean, would you want to take a bite out of a hobo?

He's Been Hanging Out with Biden Too Much: Obama Barks "The Private Sector's Doing Fine" During Friday Remarks. Maybe Time He Should Put a Sock in It?

I'm struggling to come up with many compelling reasons why Obama continues to give public speeches and remarks here and there.  I mean, who listens to this guy anymore?  Not many.

So if he delivers even a gaffe-free speech or set of remarks, what does he really gain?  And if he happens to drop a completely moronic, utterly out-of-touch statement like he did Friday ("The private sector is doing fine"), then he's just gonna get a bunch of negative heat (as has occurred).

So my best advice to Obama (which I really only offer because I know there's no chance in hell of him paying any attention) is to seriously consider just sticking a fork in the public appearances (apart from required ones, of course, like at the democrat party national convention, the weekly radio address, etc)...

Instead, focus your time on the private fundraising speeches and appearances. Looks like that's what you're best at, anyway.

"Scrotum"? Damn Near Castrated Him! N.C. Woman Allegedly Goes Nutcracker Vise on her Old Man, Slapping the Iron Claw on His Package Before Taking a Cop Car to Task for Good Measure...

She's 35-year-old Joyce Maxine Gregory (mugshot above), and the Shelby, North Carolina resident stands accused of "malicious castration" (is there any other kind?!?) for going to work on her old man's (apparently a boyfriend) crown jewels last week with her damn vise grip of a hand...

The painful incident (link at bottom) went down out in a yard down on Bowman Street, and I doubt this dude's going to be referring to Gregory as his "main squeeze" ever again -- Leastways, not after Gregory (in a fit of rage) allegedly squeezed her old man's genitals like she was trying to milk the water out of an old turnip (that, or she's watched far too many bad episodes of classic wrestling featuring Baron von Raschke (pictured below)).


The Big Squeeze grotesquely resulted in forcing the old man's testicle to pop right out of the ol' egg carton (allegedly)!  When he was finally "able to jerk away from her grip," the guy was reportedly able to get away long enough to sick the cops all over that grabbin' girlfriend.

But maybe the cops should have just stayed away. They say that after they tossed Gregory in the back of a patrol car, the squeezin' sadist (allegedly) promptly took off her britches and drawers and proceeded to urinate all over the backseat of Shelby's finest. (Why didn't they slap the cuffs on this goof, for crying out loud!?!).

While the old lady rotted in the hoosegow without bail, at least the news wasn't so dire for the old man, as a local sawbones told cops that doctors would be able to stick the marble back in the yam bag and stitch it up with little damage done.  Gotta love happy endings, particularly where a grown man's knap sack is involved.

She Tutored Him, All Right: 36-Year-Old Hottie Brooklyn Teacher Allegedly "Plied 16-Year-Old Student with Pot and Repeatedly Had Sex with Him" Until the Teen's Girlfriend Blew the Horn!

They say this cutie Teach (36-year-old married mother and teacher Erin Sayar; pictured at top and below) got the grass from "a stash" that "she kept hidden in her office filing cabinet."  And that stash wasn't just for personal or medicinal uses, either (links at bottom)...

This married Teach was only supposed to be tutoring the 16-year-old student about his studies at James Madison High School in the Big Apple.  And somehow I don't think sex edumacation was on the ol' studies curriculum -- leastways 'til Teach and student's "relationship quickly took a sexual turn" (allegedly). Hey, shit happens...

And so do lawsuits.  Like one of the $10 million variety that the boy's family has filed against Teach over the alleged affair.  The teen's lawyer says this alleged dope-tokin' teacher would give the kid weed before she banged him numerous times (the boy claims at least 8-12 times, including oral sex) right there in her office and even out in her SUV!

These February-June lovers (allegedly) even reportedly exchanged an astonishing 3,856 text messages during one 17-day period last December -- a whopping 227 texts per day for those keeping score at home. There were also myriad alleged Facebook messages, some of which sounded like something out of a bad old song: "I love you so much!," "I always loved you!," crowed the teen's messages to Teach.   

But Wacky Tobaccy Teach (allegedly) and her young beau reportedly lost all their smokin' and sexin' steam when the boy's Girlfriend got wind of the schwag-and-sex goings-ons. Girlfriend reportedly hacked Boyfriend's Facebook (rather rude, no?) and got the goods on her two-timin,' teacher-lovin' teen boyfriend (allegedly).

After Girlfriend blew the whistle, the current lawsuit ensued. And things ain't lookin' so hot for Teach, since her alleged young lover can reportedly "describe tatoos on intimate parts" of Teach's torso (D'oh!). So unless she claims was just doing some bikini modeling for the lad, methinks at least one of her potential defenses (i.e., nothing happened) may already be up in a huge cloud of fatty smoke.

Pizza Poachin' Ain't Easy: Hungry Twosome Allegedly "Hatch Hairbrained Plot" to Heist a Couple of Pies from the Pizza Hut Deliveryman Through Use of a Ninja & a Bat!

As reported on the legendary Smoking Gun website (link at bottom), these two didn't want the money he was holding. They didn't want his ride. And they didn't want no smalltalk either.  They just wanted them damn pizzas -- and fast!

And so it goes that 19-year-olds Tiffany Jacobs (on left above) and Alvina Leiba (right above) reportedly got on the blower last week and ordered two Pizza Hut pizzas, 14 chicken wings and an apple pie.  Only problem?  No dough to pay for them eats.  So they gots to thinking...

The "large framed" Tiffany says her companion gave her a sinister Ninja getup -- black clothing, mask and all -- as the two concocted a plan to try "scare" the deliveryman into dropping the pizza and running away. And just for added realism, apparently, Tiffany reportedly snatched a big bat from a neighbor's yard in order to wield during the daring encounter.

Here's how the kooky scheme went down: When deliveryman Brian Healy showed up, the non-costumed Alvina allegedly told him to put the goods on a table inside the door while she feigned needing to rustle up enough money to pay him off.  And then:  ENTER NINJA!

That's right -- Tiffany allegedly sprung from a hiding place in the Ninja garb and took to whacking around Pie Man with the bat!  But that's where things went completely haywire. Not scared, Pie Man says that he wrestled the bat away from the brazen Ninja Warrior, who then ran for the hills!

Healy says he then left and called the cops, while Tiffany and Alvina reportedly hid out in the woods until they thought the coast was clear.  By morning, this diligent duo must have been really famished, thus explaining why they allegedly returned to the home and polished off all the grub the deliveryman had left the night before!

After cops tossed this pizza-lovin' pair in the hoosegow, they reportedly couldn't stop "laughing profusely about the situation."  Alvina even allegedly claimed to still be "so hungry" that she planned to knock over a McDonald's after she and her companion get out of the can (you just can't make this stuff up). My only advice to them for that piece of work: Ditch the Ninja and don the attire of a big purple Grimace. That thing always creeped me out.

"The Most Independents in 75 Years":democrat party & gop-ers Continue on Their Decline into Increasingly Extreme-Controlled, Corrupt, Out-of-Touch Relics of the Past...

An article on Monday's Politico.com (link at bottom) reports that "there are now more Americans who consider themselves politically independent than at any other point in the last three-quarters of a century."  The precise numbers from the new Pew Research Center polling:

38% of Americans currently call themselves Independents; only 32% of Americans (i.e. leftist 20 percenters plus loyal interest groups) say they belong to the democrat party; and a rather putrid 24% admit to being republic partisan gop-ers.

Now, I'd concede that some of those 38% calling themselves Independents really aren't Independents at all, but instead are far leftists and far right-wingers who (in a prima facie exhibition of mental illness) actually consider the democrat party and republic partisan party not to be far enough to the left and right, respectively. 

But regardless of those in dire need of professional help, the 38% figure includes plenty of real (i.e. non-doctrinaire) Independents and makes it undeniable that Independent numbers are on an historic rise.  Which really isn't surprising at all...


Not surprising, what with two parties that have become increasingly rigid, extreme, mean-spirited, ill-willed and non-tolerant to opposing viewpoints in recent years.  There's simply very little place in either party anymore for anyone who's not a mindless, blathering, hateful left-wing or right-wing zombie. 

Even the likes of right-winger deity Ronald Reagan, for example, would probably be primaried by the gop-ers' tea party strain in a 2012 gubernatorial race. Meantime, the modern democrat party has become this highly loony, kooky, far leftist fringe sort of creature that is largely unrecognizable to those of us people in Generation X who were actually raised by partisan parents to be sympathetic to that party's interests.

You can keep them both.  And apparently, a plurality of Americans now agree. Hey democrat party and gop-ers:  Looks like the ranks of the Independents -- the people who decide your election outcomes (since you don't) -- just keep getting bigger and bigger.

Bigger and bigger, kind of like the National Debt (not to mention American military body bags) that you've BOTH been piling up like gangbusters for 12 long years now -- just to put things in very simple terms that even a democrat party partisan or a gop-er can understand.

It's Official: No Zombie Apocalypse. The CDC Over the Weekend Spouts, "We Do Not Know of a Virus or Condition That Would Reanimate the Dead." What a Load Off the Mind...

...what with the recent rash of cannibal attacks in several states.  The same statement by the CDC also assures all of us that the organization is not aware of any virus or condition "that would present zombie-like symptoms" (link to full story at bottom).   Many nationwide apparently had been worried... 

So rest easy tonight.  I'm just glad the CDC is around to tell us these kinds of things.  Your federal tax dollars hard at rest.

Now, if the CDC could also only put our mind at ease these days about the spread of other prevalent physical and mental disorders such as vampirism, wolfman's cough and Mr. Hyde's fever, not to mention loony left-winger lout's syndrome and deranged right-winger rat's ass. [Although maybe I shouldn't speak so lightly about those last two, since they are very real.]

Whoops -- But She Does "Party a Lot": Big Apple "Hipster" Broad Allegedly Downs 15 Shots, Gets Behind the Wheel, & Destroys a Damn House!

Guess it beats running into a tree.  House got some give to it.  But also gots pesky residents too.  Luckily no one in the living room at the time. But no such luck for the house earlier this week...

Cops in the Big Apple (links at bottom) say the big night got started when Boyfriend (23-year-old Dan Sajewski; pictured below) heisted a Benzo from his Mama and Daddy's Long Island mansion.  Spying this alleged grand theft auto, Girlfriend (21-year-old "Brooklyn hipster" Sophia Anderson; pictured in custody above and below) naturally called the cops to rat out naughty Boyfriend, you'd think, right?  Well not exactly...

That's because Hipster Anderson was not without other options over there: Such as take the wheel of Dan's parents' car and go out on a booze bender with Boyfriend (allegedly)!  15 Liquor Shots later (allegedly), cops say this hammered Hipster was still behind that wheel when she came to one of those always navigationally challenging T-intersections.

Quicker than a drunk driver can yelp, "Hey, Where'd the Damn Road Go?", cops say Girlfriend (destruction pictured above) crashed into and completely through the Long Island home of two 90-year-old sisters.  (No word whether these were the same ossified old sisters who fought off that carjacker a few weeks back, nor whether this latest incident might have actually been some sort of deranged revenge job -- but I digress...).

Regardless, neither of the two old battle axes was downstairs at the time, and so houseslaughter (the home will now be condemned) -- and not manslaughter -- is Girlfriend's most serious crime here (allegedly).  Cops say this hammered homewrecker hipster Anderson was four times the legal limit at the time, blowing an incredible 0.30 BAC.

Nothing new for this well-oiled little number Anderson, says one neighbor, who describes the not-so-likable lush (allegedly) as a dame who's been known to get trashed (for some reason) on the roof of her own house and to show up passed out on the subway at 4:30 in the morning.  "She parties a lot," was neighbor's shocking revelation.

For his part, Boyfriend (unlike his moll) won't be charged in the incident, although his wealthy Daddy is reportedly none too happy that he had to break off his holiday on Long Island's North Fork.  "His dad is really upset," a relative told the venerable New York Post.  Says relative:  "He [Daddy] had to hurry back home from the North Fork to deal with this!"

Put another way:  Never mind the pulverized digs nor the swiped and massacred ride.  'Cause nobody, and I mean n-o-b-o-d-y, brings Daddy home early from vacation without there being hell to pay!  Knuckleheads of a feather sure as freak flock together, no?

Now THIS Was a Full Day at Work: Florida Hobo Allegedly Caps Off Multiple Heists by Hitting a Nudist Colony and Jackin' a Golf Cart There!

He was already wanted for allegedly knocking over a convenience store last month and giving his victim a severe beatin' with a Pepsi can.  And cops in Kissimmee, Florida, say that 20-year-old homeless man Milton Hodges was at it again last week when he used a pair of scissors in trying (unsuccessfully) to pull a heist at the local Lowe's home store. But last Wednesday's festivities were only getting started at that point (allegedly)...

Apparently frustrated with his bungled piece of work with the fully clothed Lowes' employees, this bum allegedly turned his sights to victims of the disrobed variety down at the area nudist colony (link at bottom).

Sans the Pepsi cans and classroom scissors, this tramp later in the day allegedly yanked out a big knife from his britches after breaking into the Cypress Cove Nudist Resort.  And I guess this vagrant ain't too discriminating when it comes to the rides he prefers to jack, since cops say the hobo swiped a golf buggy at knife-point inside said nudist colony.

Predictably, once the cops soon showed up, they found this vagabond fairly "easy to spot" since he was "one of the few people wearing clothes" around the joint (not to mention probably being the only fully-dressed hobo tooling around in a golf cart).

Cops tossed Hodges' wanderin' ass in the can, where he currently faces 10 charges from his "one-man crime spree" plus 28 months in the hoosegow from the Pepsi can incident (for which he was previously sentenced and had been on the run). But on the bright side of things: Homeless no longer.

Stab By Your Man: Florida Woman Helps Prep Her Old Man for Upcoming Court Date By Allegedly Slashing Him with a Damn Seashell!

And least she did try to help him cope with his stress.  Cops in Port Saint Lucie, Florida say the boyfriend of 40-year-old local Patricia Weir (pictured above) was all stressed out last week over a date in court for allegedly beating the hell out of someone.  And what better way to blow off some steam that get one's drink on with the old lady, right? Well...

The coping couple reportedly hit the local bar and proceeded to get all liquored up.  Cops say that when the two finally got home, Weir was more sloshed than John Boehner at a Friday happy hour.  And maybe, just maybe, what this boozin' bambi had on her so-called mind was to further help the Old Man cope with his situation by preparing him for those hoosegow brawls in the event that court date don't go so well.

Regardless, cops say Weir blew her stack at the Old Man and first tried to bite his ear off!  And you can't get any decent Jailhouse Basic Tactics course off the ground without some shank training.  So Weir next allegedly grabbed a big seashell "with a pointed tip" and took to slicing and dicing the Old Man several times right in the shoulder! 

When the lesson was over, cops say Boyfriend "had a visible bite mark on his ear, scratches on his face and multiple puncture wounds on his shoulder."  And the Old Lady for her efforts may now get to try out her fight game in the can for real, since cops busted this seashell Sally for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon (said shell).  And Lord help them lady cons down there if they happen to have any stray seashells out in that prison yard.

They Wouldn't Let Her Bring Home the Bacon: GA Woman Allegedly Tries to Swipe Bacon & Booze from Piggly Wiggly, Then Goes Whole Hog on Store Worker!

She must've felt it would be like stealing acorns from a blind pig.  Cops in Georgia say 26-year-old Lonneshia Shafaye Appling (pictured above and below; links at bottom) tried the ol' "pig in a poke" shoplifting scheme down at the local Piggly Wiggly last week:  Appling allegedly stuffed a big canvas bag full of bacon, booze and assorted other items, but then presented only one item at check-out -- hoping no one would think to look inside her bag.  The best laid plans of muck and mire...

When 28-year-old checker Jonathan Orr asked what Porky had inside the bag, this 340-pound sowbelly babe allegedly hoofed it towards the exits as if she'd just spotted a BLT sandwich outside or something.  Orr gave chase, and that's when all hell broke loose (allegedly)...

First this big side of bacon Appling allegedly "pulled out some pepper spray" and proceeded to spray Orr right in the face with it!  And when other employees tried to intervene to save Orr's bacon, this big bacon rind Appling allegedly "kept on spraying."  If that don't beat a pig a-pecking!  But that was just for starters...

For good measure, Appling allegedly kept her bacon shakin' by taking a swipe at Orr and punching him right in the mush.  She then allegedly topped off this pork barrel piece of work by spitting on the pepper-sprayed Piggly Wiggly man.

As this battlin' bacon lady Appling finally made her way out the store, she was reportedly "dropping beer cans" right and left all over the damn parking lot!  Left in her wake, meantime, was a Piggly Wiggly store engulfed in "a choking cloud of pepper spray."

Cops say Appling really made a pig of herself in terms of the final tally of allegedly stolen items:  5 packages of bacon; 8 cans of Coors Light (she has to watch her figure, after all); 5 packages of cheese; a load of chicken wings; and vegetable oil.  But before this big bacon strip broad could so much as crack open a brew or toss a single piece of bacon in the frying pan, cops showed up and busted her bacon-lovin' behind on a bevy of assault and thievin' charges.  Talk about making a regular pig's ear of an otherwise decent heist.

"Republicans Target Biden Over Gaffes," "Gleefully Suggest" Hillary as a Replacement: Are gop-ers More Nuts Than Bubba Posing with Porn Stars?

Joe Biden is an idiot.  A walking gaffe machine.  A poorly spoken Obama stooge.  And as reported this week on Politico.com (first link at bottom), his approval ratings are "under water."  So why in the HELL would the right-winger gop'ers want to upset that apple cart?  That would almost require a level of stupidity equal to or exceeding that of Biden himself, no?

Well, the gop-ers aren't lettin' that stop 'em!  Also in the Politico this week (second link at bottom) is a story about the republic partisans "targeting Biden over gaffes."  The half-baked effort has included the Romney campaign and republic partisan national committee spending "weeks tracking Biden's every move" and "highlighting the veep's penchant for verbal tumbles and miscues."

The first link below even says gop-ers are going so far as to "gleefully suggest [Hillary Clinton] as a possible ticket replacement" -- as "gleefully" as Bill Clinton hanging around with a pack of porn stars, apparently (Bubba's pic from this week below, with porn broads Tasha Reign and Brooklyn Lee).  But porn stars aside, when it comes to Hillary, better be careful whatcha wish for, you deranged right-wingers...

In my mind, Hillary Clinton on the ticket would virtually assure Obama's reelection, whereas it's only a slightly better than 50/50 proposition with Biden's sorry ass around.  Hillary remains a fairly popular character with non-leftist 20 percenter democrats (some of whom may be tempted to vote for Romney) and would appeal to many Independents (though not me), who currently poll decidedly in favor of Romney.  Plus many who were motivated in 2008 to vote for the first black president will be similarly motivated to vote for the first woman VP.

And if the republic partisans keep it up, they might just succeed in getting enough democrat party partisans and leftist bloggers (1) to start questioning Biden as a liability and (2) to start beating the Hillary drum, which would get Obama's attention. 

Now, while Obama does disdain Hillary -- such that I've previously said he and his historically huge ego would never put her on the ticket -- I think that may just be trumped by the fact Obama is also a cat whom I believe (first and foremost) will do or say anything to be reelected. And how ironic would it be if misguided gop-er Biden-bashing, and a resulting Hillary switcheroo, ultimately garners Obama that reelection?  Won't be anything "gleeful" in Goperville that day!

Dirty Deeds 101: If You Must Bang or "Bonk" Some Dude You're Not Married to in the Back of a Cab, Watch Out You Don't Do So in a "Strict Islamist State"!

Hey, I'm a big believer in the old "When in Rome..." cliche.  You wouldn't catch me traveling to Iran and making fun of that sick, twisted, deranged cartoon character of a "President" they have, Ahmadinejad.  You won't see me traveling to some right-wing or left-wing South American dictatorship and extolling the virtues of human freedom.  And you'll never find me gettin' drunk, engaging in a fistfight, and calling some dude a "Mick" in the Republic of Ireland (uh, wait, strike that).  Regardless, you get the point...

So someone needs to tell 29-year-old "busty" British businesswoman Rebecca "Becky" Blake (pictures above) to take care never to get caught falling down drunk, peeling off all one's clothes, and knockin' boots with some guy not her husband in the back of a damn taxi (allegedly) in Dubai -- a "strict Islamist state."  Ill-advised move, one could argue.

More on that in a moment (links to full story from UK's Sun and Daily Mail at bottom).  But first, just check out the day this broad engaged in leading up to her becoming a back-of-the-cab slab (allegedly).  Becky reportedly bought into a 10-Euro (probably like 12 or 13 American bucks) "all-you-can-drink" brunch at a Dubai hotel bar called "The Irish Village."  (Jeezal Peezal: Tank up in public for just $12-13? Maybe I do need to hit Dubai! But I digress).

And it was at said bar that Becky reportedly engaged in a 12-HOUR drinking binge with some Irish guy (why do the Micks keep coming into this sorry equation?), not her husband, named Conor McRedmond (you just can't make this shit up).  12 Hours? Talk about partyin' like a damn Rock Star!  (To quote Butch Cassidy: "I couldn't do that! Could you do that?!?).

So the brunch apparently being over around 11:00 p.m. (i.e, 12 hours later), what to do, what to do, I'm sure this happy couple was pondering.  Course, many such inebriated couples might have it in the back of their brains to do a beeline back to the ol' hotel for a little romp between the sheets.  But not these two sorry soaks (allegedly). They could not wait! . . . and were apparently just looking for the first padded surface they might happen to encounter (allegedly).

Therefore, when they hit the back seat of a cab they'd hailed out on the street, It Be On!!! (Allegedly).  Inside the taxi, Dubai cops say Becky Blake quickly changed her name to Buck Naked and started slammin' on the equally sloshed Mick (allegedly).

But I don't get this part:  The drunk-ass couple (allegedly) was only busted because the cab driver reportedly became "incensed by their behavior" and therefore actually pulled his rig over in order to rat out the dirty duo to the cops!  (I wasn't aware that the tea party had infiltrated the Dubai cab driver union -- damn right-wingers).  What a prude!  Has this man never watched  "Taxicab Confessions"?  Grumpy Gus should not raise such a fuss.

Finally, to circle back to the "When In Rome" wisdom:  Probably not the best idea to use a Taxi's cushion for the pushin' if you happen to be situated within the country called Dubai at that particular moment.  To wit:

-Becky faces up to three years in the Dubai hoosegow if convicted on charges of "having sex outside of marriage" and public drunkenness.  Apparently, they rather frown upon such endeavors in Dubai.
-Becky and The Mick were held in the can for five long days without bail for their alleged high offenses and were actually forced to give damn DNA samples to the cops, who are reportedly looking for an air-tight case of sex and drunkenness!
-Bail for this allegedly terrible tandem was only procured after multiple individuals agreed to guarantee as suretors that the couple would stick around Dubai.

And to think, for my past Irish transgressions, the most I ever faced was 30 days in the freezer lest I wanted to buck up a modest bribe. Compare that to Dubai, and I don't really care if 12 or 13 bucks there gets your full drink on -- I'll stick with the Republic (and my fellow Micks), thank you.

Look Out Now for a Leftist Lolo Lynching: Olympian Hottie Lolo Jones Has Audacity to Admit She's Saving Her Virginity for Marriage -- Can't Have That!

29-year-old Olympic medalist hurdler Lolo Jones tells HBO's "Real Sports" (an outstanding show, BTW) and reveals recently on Twitter that she's a virgin saving herself for marriage (link to full story at bottom).  It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but I officially predict a left-wing excoriation of Lolo faster than one can say you met her in a club down in old Soho.

That's because there is perhaps no more vile or politically incorrect term in the English language for American leftist 20 percenters than "abstinence."  And from a 29-year-old, no less?!?  Katy Bar the Damn Door Over Here!

The leftists will pounce en masse on just about any person with any kind of public profile (doubt if Olympic heroes get an exemption) who dares to utter the A-Word (either expressly or by implication).  And that's not just when it comes to the right-wingers who self-righteously preach abstinence as the only possible lifestyle decision that any decent, self-respecting human being could ever make... 

Nope, the leftists will attack like ticks in a Mississippi shithouse upon most any individual having the gall to use the A-Word at all, even if it's used in the entirely reasonable context of a parent advising a child (1) that any premarital sex should be accompanied by birth control and (2) that another option that's always out there is to wait for marriage.

The bottom line awful end-result that any parent is looking to avoid, of course, is an unwanted pregnancy in the form of an unwed daughter or as the responsibility of an unwed son.  To avoid that life-changing and oftentimes potential-and-future-sapping result in a young woman or young man, there is nothing more reasonable and American than a two-pronged advice approach that couples a discussion of contraception with the possibility of abstinence...

Reasonable approach, that is, except in the minds of a majority of those that inhabit the noisy, loony, and very powerful little leftist 20 percenter fringe that controls the American democrat party.  They'd rather censor the A-word from the English language if they could.  And that's why I fear very much the leftist repercussions that may now be coming the way of Ms. Jones.  Could be wrong (although rarely am I) -- and frankly hope I am in this instance.

The Mindless Partisan Ideologue Defined:N.C. Female High School Teacher "Tells Student He Could Be Arrested for Criticizing Obama (But Says Romney's Fair Game)"!

They are what I refer to as Zombies.  Group-thinkers.  Ditto-heads.  The Walking Brain Dead. Or, described simply, partisan ideologues.  And it makes no difference if they are on the far-left or far-right.  Because in their way of thinking, the rules don't apply to them. Rather only to the other side. And the conduct of their side is always defensible, even if they would (and/or have) attacked the other side for engaging in the very same pathetic behavior.

It's a sort of an unthinking, grade-school-level way of looking at the world which is completely foreign to me and which I could never embrace.  And to think, many of these same partisan ideologues are very smart and well-educated individuals in the abstract.  But Oh My God, they are SO brainwashed by their ideologies! I think I'll continue to think for myself, thank you.

And so it is that we reach this morbidly pathetic story out of North Carolina this week (link at bottom) that some leftist 20 percenter high school teacher (and Obama worshiper) reportedly told a student that to criticize Obama could get you thrown in the hoosegow, while criticizing stand-for-nothing, right-winger, gop-er Romney (that's my Copyrighted phrase for him, BTW) is perfectly OK, in contrast.  (Although I laughed aloud when I first read about this teacher, I really shouldn't laugh at the mentally deranged and Undead -- it's rather unbecoming of me).

Never mind that criticizing Obama is fully protected speech for high school students (AND all the rest of us) under the First Amendment (so long as they don't disrupt the educational environment).  Never mind that arresting someone for political expression is nearly unheard of in this country (since we do have that pesky piece of law called the First Amendment).

And never mind, of course, that I've yet to hear before of a piece of legal authority in this country that says it's OK to talk about one of our two rotten political parties just so long as you keep your ass quiet about the other one!  Maybe I was down in the student union playing cards the day they taught that lesson (?).
