Apparently "Supreme Court" is Latin for stupid

The Supreme Court just ruled that raping a child does not warrant the death penalty.  Are you serious?  How is that possible?  How do 5 of the 9 officials who are given the highest judicial power in the country and are charged with ensuring that justice prevails think that raping a child isn't a forfeiture of one's life?  And here's the kicker: they said that the death penalty for child rape would not only be excessive, but that it would go against the 8th Amendments (no cruel or unusual punishment).  Justice Anthony Kennedy (or Satan's right hand man), claimed to have been thinking of the nation's "evolving standards of decency" when he cast his vote against capital punishment.  

Here is the USA Today story

Really?

Read this new story.  I don't know if I should laugh, cry or kill myself.

I've got a question for you...

Does anyone watch the Tyra Banks Show? (A show described on the Warner Brother's website as giving "young women the 'girlfriend' they want to hang out with and the role model they need.")  While I have never seen an entire episode, I have seen bits and pieces and I feel as though the world would be a better place if Ms. Banks was no longer part of it or, at the very least, no longer allowed to speak.  What do you think?  I would love to hear your opinions on the matter.

Just wanted to see how this works.

There's a first time for everything...

So I've decided to start a blog, although I'm not entirely sure why I'm doing this or what I'm looking to get out of it.  I guess part of me wants to share my words of "wisdom" with the world on a larger scale than I currently do (i.e. talking).  Also, my boss has asked me to find out if there's a way to use a blog to advertise a product/company.  Although I'm pretty sure there is a way, I'm not really sure how to go about doing so.   (sidenote:  I feel like I'm writing a letter to my 4th grade pen pal, a boy across the country whom I never met, and never really knew what ask/tell about our respective lives.)  So, if anyone has any hints or tips about blogging for either personal use or for a business purpose, feel free to share them.  Just remember, I'm really new to this so please leave any tips as though you were teaching a child to cook spaghetti (yea, random metaphor).
