Abortion in the first degree

Eye magazine outlines an interesting case of abortion – or in this case, murder.

So Flores, on several occasions over a one-week period, stepped on Basoria’s belly while, the defence claims, she hit herself in an attempt to induce a miscarriage. They succeeded in terminating the pregnancy.

Where do you stand on this case? 

At 20 weeks, or 5 months, I have no problem calling it murder.

Extreme abuse

It doesn’t get much worse than this.

A mother and her live-in boyfriend are charged with child endangerment after investigators say they kicked her two kids out of the house. The investigation began after a passerby found a 12-year-old boy and his 6-year-old sister walking along Highway CC near Niangua.

Roosters coming home to

…roost…some of the many 1st degree killers that would otherwise have been put to death are rotating into the parole system now, haunting and taunting the survivors of the victims.

Lindley Charles McArthur had turned 21 the day he kidnapped Lee Marie and later boasted the killing was a birthday present to himself.

Now, DiPalma is determined that “this sick, sadistic bastard” will spend the rest of his life in prison.

“Nobody will ever be safe if he ever gets out,” said DiPalma, 54.

The Trudeau effect of canceling the DP will live with us for generations: with the Liberals strangleholding Ottawa it appears no relief is in sight.

Bring back CP!

Zzzzzzzzzz

If you can keep awake long enough, read this.

Sleep is a natural part of everybody’s life, but many people know very little about how important it is, and some even try to get by with little sleep.

Beat yourself

The brilliant Steyn on Gitmo, the leftest Western media’s latest self flagellation point.

Guantanamo will be remembered not as a byword for torture but for self-torture, a Western fetish the jihad’s spin doctors understand all too well.

Electronic tolls make sense

For all the bitching (Liberal hype, to be sure) about the 407’s billing, no story seems as bad as these ones from old fashioned toll booth tollways.

allegedly responded to a routine request for a receipt with this lyrical reply: “You white people are a pain in the ass! Kiss my sweet black ass.”

Makes you wonder

Some interesting stats here about single parenthood in Canada.

Single-parenthood is a growing phenomenon in Canada…Single-parent families are also more likely than other families to face food insecurity. For example, in 1998-1999:…Children from single-parent families are also more likely to have behavorial problems:

Makes you wonder why anyone would voluntarily raise kids without a father.

Line forms here

We know there will be no shortage of male groupies out to bang Karla when she’s out (black widow effect), but a senator?

Reviled by many, defended by few, Canada’s most notorious female inmate won’t even be greeted by her family when she is released in less than a month. But CTV News has learned Karla Homolka does have some support in high places.

Could senators be any more irrelevant?

Go live in a trailer

Fred says you may be happier living in a trailer.

Now, living in a trailer is to the consumerist sensibility simply too degrading and so…I mean, my god, how could you face the neighbors? (There weren’t any.) But aside from damage to a servile dependent vanity, what is the drawback? A couple of hundred dollars buys a remarkably good stereo, music is free, libraries are good, and I for one am more comfortable in jeans and tee shirt than in Calvin and Klein trappings.
