On the Contrary, You ARE a Monster, Fritzl

Incest father says ‘I’m no monster’ by Sim Sim Wissgott

An Austrian accused of keeping his daughter as a sex slave for 24 years insisted Wednesday he is “no monster”, as residents of his town staged a rally in support of the victims.

This Austrian savage is being “accused” of this hideous crime because he confessed to the whole thing.

Josef Fritzl, in comments passed by his lawyer to the tabloid newspaper Oesterreich insisted he was “no monster.”

Fritzl, 73, claimed credit for having saved the life of his daughter and added: “I could have killed them all. Then there would have been no trace. No-one would have found me out.”

Josef Fritzl, a domineering psychopath, wants credit for not murdering his daughter.

Fritzl built an underground dungeon entrapping his daughter for a quarter of a fucking century.

He raped his daughter repeatedly over many years. She gave birth to 7 children in same underground dungeon.

His daughter and her children lived for 2.5 decades without seeing sunlight.

One of the children died at birth. Charitable man that he is, Fritzl burned the dead body.

Does any punishment even exist for this savage?

The Economy Sucks! Let’s Go to a Ball Game!

Listening to this media’s coverage of economic news (in an election year), one might think we’re in the Great Depression. Yes, the economy is certainly lagging and the situation could be better in a number of areas.

And yet, note the priorities of some people. While many complain about prices going up here and there, this doesn’t seem to stop many from dropping a nice chunk of change on attending a professional sporting event.

Gas prices are up. Food prices are up. So, oddly enough, is attendance at Major League Baseball games.

MLB officials say attendance is 2.6 percent ahead of record-breaking figures from last season, when the 30 teams raked in more than $6 billion. The NBA and the NFL also say they see no signs that the economy will cut into attendance or profits.

[...]

“People seek the comfort of their sports addiction when there’s bad economic times,” said Andrew Zimbalist, a sports economist. “There’s something very deeply rooted about our sports attachments. People tend to give that up last.”

If you have money to spend on any sporting event, you must have SOME disposable income. Atleast for the many who attend games, this tends to cast doubt on how negative the economic situation truly is.

The Great Timing Behind Obama’s Demonization of Oil Profits

Oil companies work to make a profit.

Senator Barack Obama thinks he and D.C. are entitled to that money.

Faithful to the Karl Marx School of Class Envy, Obama and the average liberal makes profits appear evil (except when they’re collecting handsome checks of their own). But while most on the left side of the aisle make Big Oil appear to be the new Great Satan, they never mention how much in TAXES those oil companies give back to the government. Or the fact that 20 of the 25 largest oil companies “had more employees at the end of last year than they did at the end of 2006.” In the midst of a lethargic economy, oil companies are HIRING people.

Obama’s timing is also fantastic. Remember that Obama’s proposal to rape impose a tax on oil profits occurs while gas prices remain high and a barrel of crude is around $120 USD. Instead of leaving oil companies alone to find MORE oil so as to raise supply and lower price, this jackass decides it’s time to penalize them for their success.

NHL Jackass of the Year

My first sports post, but a worthy addition. Keep your eye on the right side of the screen. The player in the blue Rangers jersey, #16, Sean Avery, will “screen” the goaltender, Martin Brodeur, in the white jersey. I’ve never seen such unprofessional childishness.

Interesting to note: karma is a biiiiiiiitch. Sean Avery is out for the season due to a ruptured spleen, which had to be surgically removed.
