Time Out for O/T – Vol. 18

KT, I think I read somewhere that it was on the court doctrine for May 26. That may be wrong as I have read so much on this today. “I’ve looked at this case from both sides now, from up and down and still somehow its clouds illusions I recall, I don’t know clouds at all……”

KT, I agree with you. But, like one attorney said, it is not against the law to follow someone. Martin can’t speak and tell that he was threatened so, the prosecutor will have to prove it. Zimmerman can tell his side of the situation whether it is the truth or not. Do they have anything that gives credence to his story???? I hope not. (They have asked for no more evidence to be made public.) I Wonder if this will be pleaded down and he will get off with a lighter sentence than 2nd degree brings.

KT, well, Mansion isn’t that big! But, he is only 18 mos old. Mansion at the shoulders is 35 in, 6’3 on his hind legs and weighs 170. His baby brother, Moondozer is a couple of inches shorter and about 15 lbs lighter. And, they sleep in the bed with us! The boys dad weighed over 200 lbs so they are still growing. And, you would love them, too, as they are gentle giants. KT, they would love you and show you with big washrag tongue kisses. 🙂

I lost a lot of respect for “Douche-a-witz” during the OJ matter but he was part of OJ’s legal team and they got him off. I don’t think he is trying to be Zimmerman’s attorney. I see it more that he is upset with the prosecutor for not presenting a stronger case because he thinks it could get thrown out. (but maybe not) There were 5 other attorneys that I read that were of the same opinion. That concerns me. This stand you ground law/self defense is hard to prove that it wasn’t necessary. It is the law in FL and it STINKS! Don’t get me wrong, I hope he is found guilty but there will be a case presented in his defense and if the prosecutor doesn’t have more evidence than we know, this won’t be easy to win. We don’t know if the defense can produce grass stained clothes and injuries that you can’t see clearly in that video. Zimmerman only has to prove he was scared for his life. Yes, he shouldn’t have followed the boy but following someone is not against the law either. He claims that the boy attacked him first while he was returning to his car. There are no eyewitnesses and the evidence collected at the scene concerns me. This was sloppy in so many ways and it may play better for Zimmerman. I read one attorney that said it wouldn’t be good if there were no injuries to Martin’s body and Zimmerman can show he had some because that would show that Martin was the aggressor and Zimmerman was in fear of his life. I know that this isn’t so but that might be an approach used. It is Zimmerman’s word against a young boy’s who can’t speak for himself. This law is so dangerous for an incident victim and it scares me.

FC, I don’t begrudge Mrs. Romney being able to be a stay at home mother because of her wealth. I just don’t think she can’t give her husband any insight on the needs of the women in the 99% or that women are more concerned about the economics than women health issues. I am sure she can be of assistance in helping him relate to the women of the 1%. I mean it must be hard to remember which house has been completely remodeled or is still under construction. Which account, the Swiss or the Island account, has the best reward points. And, carpooling those kids to school can be really tough when the chauffeur has a day off and you don’t know where the key to the car elevator is. Oh, it must be really hard to find the right illegal gardener, too. For her to claim she was even insulted by Ms. Rosen’s comment is as phony as her and her husband’s claims to care and that now there is a “war on mothers”.

FC, if you get a chance, you can watch the full episode online at the Late Night website. I pulled it up for the hubby today because he goes to bed early, too. He really enjoyed it but we are old Celtic Fans from back then.

KT, there are a lot of stay at home moms now because they can’t find a job! Or, they can’t afford to pay for childcare on the salary they will get for the jobs that are available. But, can Mrs. Romney relate to those? Don’t think so! Has she ever had to go for food stamps in order to put food on the table? Has she ever been faced with deciding between Ramen Noodles or Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches for supper? Wonder if she has ever had to control her trips to the store because she can’t afford the gas for those Caddy’s. Have those sons that she claimed were tough to raise ever been embarrassed at school because they had to ask for assistance in getting school lunches paid for? No, she can’t tell me that she knows the struggles of a majority of women these days. I know for sure that the stay at home moms I have just described have and are working harder than she has or ever will.

FoodChain, did you see Magic Johnson and Larry Bird on Late Night With David Letterman last night? They were great, funny, and really good friends. Of course, they were always great at the game of basketball.

Arizona will soon be known as Menopause Heaven because the only women living there will be older women that like the dry heat. Why would anyone else care to live where the state has control of the choices you should have in regard to your own body?

And, Foodchain, the dog had the best response, he shit on them! Got to love that dog!

One thing for sure, the next rocket N.Korea sends up will have strapped to it the guys who said this last one was ready to go without failure. Ride’em cowboys! “You no make nother mistake!”

Rosen just used the wrong wording. She should have said that Mrs. Romney had not worked “outside” of the home. (And that includes yard work because we already know that Romney’s hired illegals to do that!) Mrs. Romney is a stay at home mother that has many homes to choose to stay at. She also has 5 yes 5 housekeepers! She doesn’t need to worry about her sons welfare after she is gone because they each have millions in trust funds waiting for them. She had never had to leave her children with daycare that costs more than half her paycheck. She has never had to take a day off from work without pay to care for an ill child. She had nanny’s for that if she needed to go out. And can afford medical insurance should the illness be serious. She had never had to negotiate an increase in her wages because the guy doing the same job next to her got one and he was already making more. Or worried that she might lose her job because someone has moved, closed, or offshored the company. No, Mrs. Romney can not relate to the needs of women anymore than her husband. Mrs. Romney in her interview with FOX said that it was her choice to be a stay at home mother. That women are entitled to that choice and should not be held out as not working because of that choice. Count the number of times she used the word “Choice” in describing her rights. But, she and her husband now do not believe in “Choice for other women and in fact her husband’s plans are to do away with Planned Parenthood should he be elected President. No, Ms. Rosen error in her wording but not in her point she was trying to make. Mrs. Romney chose to stay at home because she could afford to do that. Many more do not have that option. They have to get up each morning and dress not only themselves but their children and face the challenges of home and career because they need to house, clothe and feed their family. Mrs. Romney’s challenge of the day would start with deciding which Caddy to put on the elevator.

Bito, I think that Koch Brothers and their money are involved in more than any of us know, yet. I hope more and more is disclosed!

Here is a good round-up of all the opinions on the Supreme Court and the ACA from all the articles and blogs.

KT, again you are right. Those with the training can see it as collateral damage can’t they?

» Posted By SallyT On April 6, 2012 @ 6:53 pm

KT, I know you have seen these guys in action while in the military. And, there are some real crazies out there that haven’t had the training but have the guns! It is really scary!

» Posted By SallyT On April 6, 2012 @ 6:06 pm

KT, that is how I see it, too.

» Posted By SallyT On April 6, 2012 @ 6:01 pm

KT, that is it, isn’t it? These guys with those automatic weapons are just looking for a situation to use them. Why have them if you can’t use them? Well, DON’T HAVE THEM because there should be no need for them! If such a situation would ever break out, that is why we have the National Guard!

AdLib, I wish all the best for Santorum’s daughter. She is not running for office but for her health. Yes, this would be a way for Santorum to exit the race. However, he wasn’t thinking about her that much when he choose to run, so, it is obvious to me at least that he would be using her now as an excuse. My sympathy is for the daughter, not him.

Bito, I was a little perturbed with Jon Stewart giving O’Reilly so much time on his show about the damn shrimp. If I cared how much O’Reilly would be willing to spend on shrimp, I would watch him on FOX. (and I would never watch him on FOX) Also, I didn’t much care for Stewart making fun of the President on fund raising and how they ask you to donate when entering to win a dinner date with the President and his wife. But, Jon was looking for laughs and maybe he got a few with that. 🙁

And, they took away his parking space. Appears Keith was upset that he didn’t have as much control of the situation as he thought he would. I think this may have hurt him more than biting his lip a little more would have at Current. He is coming off as a spoiled kid. Of course, he is entitled to his side of the story.

Well, there you go. Of course I will miss you. Good luck in all you do and I will watch for your return. 😉

Sue, this law is an opening for a cop to cop a feel!
I really think this is going to mean more harassment by some police.

“In fact, at least 10 states outlaw routine strip searches of those arrested for minor charges, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the U.S. Marshals Service bar visual body cavity searches for those arrested on misdemeanor or civil contempt charges. “What the court did was to take a practice that was not universal and give it its constitutional imprimatur,” says Harvard Law School professor Carol Steiker. The open question, she said, is whether states that have forbidden this practice will now move to permit blanket strip searches of those arrested for minor charges.”

I don’t have one because I don’t tweet. Hell, Sherlock, I have a heck of a time just texting and typing on here! I will let Bito and AdLib or whomever on here filter through and share anything they think is important from me. I’m sure it won’t be too testing a job for them…….. 😉
