So, this will be short because details are sketchy, but it seems that another right winger, skeered of losing his guns or having to marry a dude has threatened to kill Democrats.

RALEIGH — Police charged a 46-year-old man today with threatening to kill a host of local and national politicians that included everyone from President Barack Obama and Gov. Beverly Perdue, to Mayor Charles Meeker and his wife.

Now the police department is suing the TV station who exposed it.

I haven't written a diary in ages, but this story from The Cleveland Leader is as shocking as anything I've seen in a while.

Check out the video below, where WKYC investigative reporter Tom Meyer spoke with Greg Steffey, whose wife, Hope Steffey called 911 after she was assaulted by her cousin. Things took a turn for the worst when the police arrived and treated Hope as the perpetrator. She was arrested, taken to jail, and subjected to a humiliating full-body strip search by both male and female officers, violating the sheriff department's own policy that a strip search be conducted by an officer of the same sex. Hope was then left naked in a cell for six hours. Included in the news segment was video footage of the strip search

Remember Vernon Robinson's
Twilight Zone commercial that almost everyone who watched it thought it was a parody?

Well, he's back with an interesting mailing to local (NC) Republicans, like my husband. Disclaimer: I long ago educated him and he votes Democrat now.

But guess who Vernon says is in bed with democratic rival Brad Miller (D-NC)? Our own Markos.

"I love Jesus Christ!...so FUCK YOU!"

These ridiculously ironic words were just screamed, no SCREAMED at me by a young man just before he floored the gas and cut me off, causing me to slam on the brakes to avoid a crash.

What caused this hostile act of aggression?

Ah, fellow Kossacks, you never cease to amaze me with your brilliance, and I call upon you now to help me appear far more intelligent and politically knowledgeable than I actually am.

In response to this column in my local paper, entitled (prepare to vomit)Spreading the Fruits of Freedom, I have entered into a correspondence with the journalist and that's where I need your help.

In an exquisite fit of boredom, I have spent the afternoon perusing the Focus on the Family website. Seriously you guys, if life's got you down and you need a good chuckle, please do visit it....and be sure to sign their guestbook to receive their free newsletter.

Being a reader I was drawn to their resource section, and, to save you the trouble, I have compiled a list of my favorite books and such that Dr. Dobson recommends.

In response to this column in the Raleigh (NC) News and Observer last week, I wrote a Letter to the Editor which they published yesterday and I somehow missed. My son's high school journalism class read and discussed it this morning or I never would have known they printed it.

Note to self: read online edition more carefully.

I received the following "Living Will" from a family member via email this morning. I don't know where it came from or who to attribute it to...but it's funny and encapsulates what many of us here are feeling after this whole Schiavo mess.

I'm in the midst of a real dilemma here and don't know what to do. The other day I wrote a diary about body image and the response was overwhelming. Many women wrote about their feelings of never being good enough; never quite living up to the expectations that society has imposed upon them. The comments were tragic, inspiring, heartfelt, and most of all, supportive of one another.

Then it got ugly.
