Why Don't I Shut UP?

Okay, now we're talkin'. I have a couple guest bloggers lined up and more rolling in. Thanks to everyone who is contributing. Again, if you want to blab on the blog, just type it up in an e-mail and send it to witmerm@comcast.net. Remember to spell and grammar check, cause i ain't gonna do it. You don't want to look like an illiterate, do ya? Okay, today's guest? Web beyotch extraordinaire....SUMMER!!!!

Okay bloggers... I was asked to type up a blog about anything and/or everything, (including or excluding hairspray) so here goes.

For starters, let's talk about things that really piss me off. I'm not a big news junkie, I tend to stay away from the news for many reasons...the main reason being IT'S DEPRESSING. Worse yet is all the crap that is hyped up for no more reason than a RICH CELEBS publicity. (i.e. Martha Stewart) That rich bitch did what she was found guilty for and as for me......I feel NO PITY for the old hag. I think about the average Joe (sp?) who had his life savings tied up in the same stock and got no "inside info"......and lost everything. That's who I feel bad for. Not some rich snob who whines, cries and LIES trying to make the public feel sorry for her and let her off the hook. HANG HER I SAY!!

Anyways.....I got off my original path of thought....I started to say I'm not a news junkie and don't pay much attention to it, but something caught my eye this week that really burnt me up. While I was checking the weather I see this headline "Man Sentenced To Life In Prison For Killing Co-Worker's Wife" Lovely.....NOT. The man had been sentenced to life in prison w/o the possibility of parole....okay GOOD.

Then I read on... Apparently this guy was "hired" by his co-worker to kill his wife and offered $20,000 to do the deed. Insane.....that's what I think. I also think that we the tax-payers should NOT have to pay to let this sick individual live.....you take a life.....ADMIT to taking a life........and are found guilty........you should DIE....end of discussion. What drove me over the edge was that he was spared the DEATH PENALTY because he ADMITTED TO KILLING THAT POOR WOMAN! He said "YES I KILLED HER AND HERE IS HOW I DID IT" What the!?!?!? I just don't get it.

Why should they be allowed to sit in a nice clean prison cell, getting 3 square meals a day, an education, free cable TV , free gym.......ect, while the rest of us law abiding citizens bust our asses at work each day trying to make an honest living to support our families? It just makes me ill thinking about it.

I haven't even TOUCHED on how the victims family feels knowing that their daughter, sister, cousin is 6ft under while this guy enjoys LIFE. Not life how you and I do (going to movies, eating at a nice restaurant, playing pool and so on) but he LIVES......he breathes.....he gets to see his family (on visiting days of course)

Anyways......that's my blog. It may or may not make sense to you, you may or may not agree, but again, I was asked to write about whatever popped into my head.......and there you have it...one of the many things that piss me off.
