Each week, here at The WeeklyBUG group, we bring you a retrospect of the bad, the ugly and the good - both of DK and our world. Boom ding aling-ah; we have much too reflect about - for this past week has been a doozie.
THE BAD
Above the Law has a story (
here) on the Raj Rajaratnam insider trading trial. The case went to jury the end of last week and then took a quirky turn; as a jury was excused for "undisclosed" medical reasons. A way to make enemies of your fellow jurists, who now must begin all over again with the newbie.
In what is bound to be a movie, if at least a docu-drama; a TX cheerleader refused to cheer for the boy who raped her. The school punished her, she sued and the callous, obtuse school won. Now here family must pay the school's legal fees (see proudhon's Diary ( here)).
NW Milwaukee battle against the powers to register voters
This weeks feature is a "BAD" issue, that could have turned real ugly and maybe even be posted in our GOOD section. But I wanted to give it higher billing. A good self promotional diary by noise of rain details - by video and pics - actually being stalked/ threatened to stop recruiting voters.
Kudos to the mother, pictured above left, brave and happy; joining in the battle.There should be a criminal investigation into voter intimidation. It makes my blod boil.
Please read the Diary ( here) and give support, it has nearly 1500 tips, rec's, shares and comments. We are anxious to the see the follow ups and republished the Diary to the WeeklyBUG group. One video is directly below.
THE UGLY
Rat BASTARD former West Point Major rapes 3 month old
This week's UGLY goes to the one who earned the right to have it all to himself. Yep, the poor excuse for a human being even video taped the extremely heinous act. He was an attorney on the fast track. Oklahoma disbarred him and he is waiting for the outcome of his charges. They found thousands of vid's pics etc. His name Daniel Woolverton. Kudos to to the Law Blog Professor's network for having the chutzpah to put the story on their blog ( here).
THE GOOD
- They claimed to have killed Osama Bin Laden - can some more troops come home?
- Trump is thumped with publication of Birth Certificate - Birthers' die?!?!?
- Former US Sup Ct Justice Stevens wants law against Prosecutorial Misconduct
- Meteor Blades uses Open Thread Night Owls (here) on how the Rightee tightees seek to kill Wall Street Regulators' by stymie of their funding
I have many heroes in this life. Weekly ones, daily ones and lifetime inspirations. The search for truth, about myself, life and the universe often gives me pause and joy. This weeks hero is an honorable mention of one of my great favorites - Red Skelton. You can see his website by his family ( here). Pure genius and sweetness often not found in this modern day.
In the spirit and tribute to him;
You should listen to his Pledge of Allegiance, of one who truly loved this country ( here). What he says is great and will irk many here as well. But his sweetness as a human being is awesome!
Please enjoy the weekend and find something nice to do for someone else. It is serves the greater good and in so doing, turns assholes like me into a human being worthy of a 2nd chance.
If nothing else, recruit another to DK - it serves us all!
