Ya THINK?!?!

So, I go to JSonline this morning and see this headline:

Families that steal together have skewed values

This guy can't even get a headline right. How about:

Family of lowlife dirtbags prey on the helpless


Or

Dirtbag family too stupid to continue life of crime

Skewed? There lies part of the problem. When you've got a family of assbags deciding to prey on the helpless elderly, you don't call it skewed. You call it reprehensible, cowardly, twisted . . . criminal, anything but skewed. Skewed is meat on a stick. Values? That's also part of the problem. What values? Then there's this:

It's not necessarily surprising to see families bonding through criminal behavior. Lots of traditional organized crime in America has featured family relationships. What else was "The Sopranos" about, anyway?

Oh yeah, those family bonds. Strong. Unbreakable.

Until they get caught.

Plus, to make comparisons to a TV SHOW is just, and I try to be nice, LAME. Maybe you could have used a NON FICTIONAL analogy?!?

Unfortunately, what really not necessarily surprising is Kane's lack of true outrage.

Vickenstein and other monsters

The monster has been caught and is receiving his just due, so far. Between the suspension, dropped deals, and NFL pay, Mike Vick has paid big time already. And there's more to come with his prison sentence.

While I have no sympathy for Vikenstein, I wish we felt the same fury over people that leave babies for dead, people who kill while driving drunk, and people who, in general, commit abuses toward children.

Of course, it would be great if we got this worked up about crime in general, but I'll take what I can get.
