Stuff

Been a little bit busy this week, puttin' together a little festival we call Il Tacchino! Little bit of stress at work too, refinanced the house, the usual stuff. I could use a break.

But I've been thinking... Aren't douchebags nominally human? If you cut them, do they not ooze both blood and hair product? So when will somebody stood up for the douchebags?

Well, douchebags, apparently, that time is now.

Speaking of which... I'm not usually one for touting middle eastern modes of justice, but this story was interesting. The headline: "Saudi court upholds child rapist crucifixion ruling." Hmmm... So what's the deal?

A Saudi court of cassation upheld a ruling to behead and crucify a 22-year-old man convicted of raping five children and leaving one of them to die in the desert...

I don't know what a "court of cassation" is but I suspect the the only thing standing between that term and the literal truth about such courts is a missing "t".

So what was the sentence that the appellate court upheld?

tying the body of the convict to wooden beams to be displayed to the public after beheading.

Wow.

I don't know about what you guys think, but I'm amazed that the Saudi trial court decided to show such leniency.
