Weird stuff ... his first dog communications experience apparently happened with a guy who lived in Minot, North Dakota (where I played my college football) ... WTF?
Parole ... it's a good country, America ... Weiner sends pictures of his pecker on Congressional equipment and gets to take a leave of absence (facing a future of lifetime health benefits AND a pension) and Berkowitz gets a parole hearing.
Explain to me again why the motherfuck I went legit?
Oh, right, because I wanted to be a writer and achieve unemployment ...
I guess that explains my tattoos ...
John D.:
I had forgotten this guy was even still ALIVE (as should the rest of the country, especially the parole board).
Justice?
Nah...we need more PUNISHMENT...and THEN some justice.
Good post.
Roll safe.
Charlie,
You went legit so you could write some kickass crime books for guys like me that don't want to read cozies and police procedurals. And don't worry about old Berky, he ain't making parole. Not in this lifetime.
Bob,
I'm sure David isn't enjoying his stay at Chez Bighouse. I doubt dopey little geeks who commit murder on the instructions of the neighbor's dog don't carry much weight with the hardcases in the joint.
Last post ought to read I doubt they "do carry much weight." My brain isn't firing on all cylinders tonight.
