3/17/2005: Faith 'n begorrah
'Tis St. Paddy's.. happy day and wearin' o' the green and etc.
I didn't celebrate in an Irish sort of way, but I did mark the day as Scott Peterson moved into San Quentin. On last night's news a prison official described Peterson's check-in today: he was to have a complete strip search, delousing, and full body cavity search. That made me smile.. ahhh there is some justice in the world after all. The guy went on to say "This ain't county jail.. his nightmare begins now."
Peterson's new Death Row neighbors include Richard "Night Stalker" Ramirez, Polly Klaas's killer, and a savory bunch of similar types - 643 of them. He won't be executed anytime soon, if at all (which is fine with me - I'm not big on the death penalty) but I wouldn't mind a bit if he were to mix with the "general population" sometime.. they'd take care of him in a minute. It says something about our society that an AP report describes what he was wearing as its second paragraph.
Meanwhile the resident SoCal wacko got found out for having porn in his bedstand. The news tried to make a big deal of this, thinking we'd gasp in horror.. Truth is, most males in this country have porn in the bedstand and half the females as well. If that's a crime or indication of guilt, the USA is in trouble. Gotta love a good <newsthud>
What should I wear to court?
