number 15 for 7-31-05:

Don't Block A Putt

      Yesterday I forgot to mention Karen…my fault. She reads regularly too. I was tired.

      Today was supposed to be a PATENT BULLSHIT day, which, if you recall, is when I cite the news putting stories out there that just have no bearing on anything that anyone could or should possibly give a shit about.

      But surprise, surprise, less than a week after my last Endless Horror with God, enough children are being massacred wholesale to have to do another one.

      So, God, your work for this week:

      A set of parents (or likely one) who were so bad at watching their four-year-old that he was found wandering the highway alone. Think that's bad enough? Turns out that they found him only after he was told to get out of the car and his own mother hit him with her vehicle before leaving him all alone.

Citation

      A (good) mother (for once) was driving down the road in her SUV (okay, that's to her discredit) when another vehicle hit her from behind. Her two-year-old, who was buckled in, flew out the window and down into water. The mom called 911, and instead of dispatching, the 911 lady accused her of making a phony phone call (a similar thing happened to me. I called 911 for a gunshot, it was busy, so I hung up and called again, and because it registered as calling twice, I had to haggle for almost half a minute before the bitch would listen to my complaint). Finally, a firefighter went into the water, but the kid was gone. Nice work, God. You go, deity. How mighty it is to create a work that can kill a two-year-old.

      This story, you don't know who to blame. The society that allowed it, the man, the girl…a 22 year-old married a 13 year-old once he found he'd gotten her pregnant. Now he's in custody for child rape, the kid will have no father, and a 13 year-old is married to a felon. What the fuck?

     Citation

      A mother in Pasco decided to just let her 7-year-old son out of her car and abandon him. Somehow, I guess she thought she wouldn't be caught.

     Citation

      Two Honduran kids are now murderers! Thirteen-year-olds. It just gets better and better! The parents? Ah, who cares.

     Citation

      A mother didn't like how her son was cleaning his room, so she attacked him with an ashtray and an extension chord. Sounds familiar. She got caught, though. More endless horror. Way to be a good parent. Beating the fuck out of them sure makes up for the insecurities in your own failed life, doesn't it, ma?

     Citation

      A five-year-old was in the way of a putt at a putt-putt golf place. The woman who had the putt grabbed her by her legs, slammed her head into the ground, then hit her with a golf club. Yeah, kids can be annoying at places catered to kids. But that's beyond the pale. Thanks, God, for creating this asinine woman. She tried to run, too. What a bitch.

     Citation

      An attorney in Utah fucks a 14-year-old. But wait, Wink, that's not all! He had HIV, and KNEW he had HIV! Go, girl!

     Citation

      Yet ANOTHER priest having sex with kids and dogs and cats. I'll bet God could have seen THIS one coming, at least, and tried to do something. A nudge toward more church…anything.

     Citation

ANCILLARY

      This is close to the above, but see, the thing is, it's just endless irony. A man who tried to be a stalwart defender of children (If you can call an abortion protestor that. I don't. I think abortion stops future little kids who will be left along the highway from ever suffering) turns out to be just another, pathetic child rapist.

     Citation

      Good angle, huh? Thanks, God, for everything. Good job.
