Ballsy Boston Broad

Welp, I could not resist commenting on a few news items that appeared over the weekend…

Face transplant patient forgives husbandI am sure you have heard and seen the disturbing images of Connie Culp, the poor woman who underwent a face transplant last week.  Culp was shot in the face by her bastard husband in a failed murder-suicide attempt in 2004.  In an interview on Good Morning America, Culp said she forgives her husband, who is now serving a seven year prison sentence.  WHAT?!?!?!  Are you friggin kidding me?  She forgives him for shooting her in the face.  I am going to call her Saint Connie.  I could never in a million years ever, ever forgive someone for purposely shooting me in the face.  I mean I curse people if they bump into me on the Metro.  You gotta, give the woman credit though.  Hell, if that were me, I would just jump off a bridge rather than go through life looking like that.  And let me add, it’s a god damn disgrace that piece of shit husband of hers only received seven years.  I believe an eye for an eye would have been the appropriate punishment.  The judge should have let Saint Connie pull a Dick Cheney.

Cheney backs Limbaugh over Powell
Here’s a thought.  Hey Dick, just do the GOP a favor and go away.  My god, haven’t Republicans suffered enough this past year.  Don’t get me wrong, I like Cheney and applaud him for defending the CIA’s interrogation tactics following the 9-11 attacks.  But right now he needs to ‘make like a tree and leave.’ You don’t see former President George W. Bush causing any trouble.  He is perfectly content down on the ranch spending his free time bike riding, eating pretzels and clearing brush.  You know, pretty much how he spent most of his time as President.  Dick, how about you move to Alaska and go hunting with Sarah Palin?  Powell is right on regarding his assertions that the Republican Party needs to move to the center and reach out to minority communities.  Sorry he does not want President Obama to fail like that right-wing nut job, Rush Limbaugh.  Limbaugh is a disgrace to the Republican Party and during this political environment party leaders should be shunning him and embracing Powell.

Real life “Footloose” I am in shock that still in this day and age, schools like Heritage Christian School actually exist.  The School is threatening suspend and prohibit senior Tyler Frost from going to his graduation ceremony if he attends a public high school prom with his girlfriend.  The fundamentalist Baptist school in northwest Ohio forbids dancing, rock music, hand holding and kissing.  WTF?  Ok, who the hell is running this joint?  Where is the outrage?  These poor students have never been allowed to listen to Journey, Heart or Pat Benatar!  Never been allowed to do the electric slide? Forget Darfur for a moment, this is a travesty.  I say let the kid get jiggy with it, wave his hands in the air like he just don’t care, and cop a feel from his girlfriend during the last slow song of the evening and then call it a good ole’ night.  Right?
