It’s your own damned fault if you get murdered

While murder is still considered a grave crime, today’s enlightened society tends to see it as something more than a black & white issue. Because more often than not, a murder victim has every opportunity to avoid being murdered.

Simply put, if you get murdered, it’s very likely your own damned fault. This is obvious to any who care to look at the issue.

Most murder victims could easily save their own lives if they followed a few simple rules:

• Don’t dress provocatively – you’re just asking to be murdered.
• Never drink to excess publicly – it will lower your inhibitions and make you an easier murder target.
• Don’t walk alone, anywhere – you’ll just attract murderers.
• Don’t flirt - you could be flirting with a murderer.
• Never go to anyone’s home – again, you’re just asking to be murdered.

But the fact is that most murder victims are too careless, too un-Godly and too unwilling to take the personal responsibility needed to avoid being murdered. This is why so many murder victims are far too ashamed to go to authorities following their murder – they know they played a part in it.

And the legal system is aware of this. This is why so few murderers get sentenced for their crimes. Defense lawyers will quickly pounce on the past history of the victim and come to one conclusion – the murdered didn’t do what’s necessary to not be murdered. Thus, many victims of murder will not go to the authorities.

Murder is epidemic in the United States. The statistics are staggering. But the fact is that murderers are helpless to stop themselves, and when people dress and act in certain ways, all they are doing is attracting those that will murder them.

It’s a hard truth, but the fact is that in 2010, we should be a more enlightened society. So dress conservatively, don’t go out, and don’t draw attention to yourself. And remember, once a murder starts, it’s too late to say no. You’ve asked for it, and it’s going to happen.

Because – as most people rightly believe – the blame for the crime of murder falls almost solely on the murder victim.

Christian Fundamentalists are Evil – Blame the Rape Victim edition

Whether they are Islamic, Christian or Scientologists, religious fundamentalists are truly an evil people. How else to explain the “Girls dressing provocatively are just asking to be raped” leaflet being handed out to girls in Bristol, Va.:

“You may have been given this leaflet because of the way you are dressed,” it begins. “Have you thought about standing before the true and living God to be judged?”

It continues with one essential theme: The sins of men are, in part, the fault of women, specifically women in tight-fitting clothing. Yates was annoyed. Then she got to a section on page two:

“Scripture tells us that when a man looks on a woman to lust for her he has already committed adultery in his heart. If you are dressed in a way that tempts a men to do this secret (or not so secret) sin, you are a participant in the sin,” the leaflet states. “By the way, some rape victims would not have been raped if they had dressed properly. So can we really say they were innocent victims?”

The hand-out is signed “anonymous.”

Sandra G. Rasnake, the sexual assault program director at Bristol’s Crisis Center, pointed out the hatefulness of the leaflet and the damage it does to rape victims:

[Rasnake] had one eyebrow cocked as she read through the leaflet Thursday morning.

She cocked the other as she read aloud: “some rape victims would not have been raped if they had dressed properly.”

“Wow,” she said. “This idea that men don’t have enough self control – and evidently they shouldn’t have to – plays into all the old myths that we’ve tried for years to overcome: Rape happens to 2-year-olds and 92-year-olds, not just attractive young women. How about we hold the person doing the action accountable, whoever it is going against the will and consent of somebody else?”

Rasnake said she confronts similar ideas, although not generally printed and distributed in mass, from the women she talks with daily. Victim blaming, she said, is the most prominent reason rapes are so rarely reported and even more rarely taken to trial. Sexual assaults, she said, come in second for the country’s worst conviction rates.

Christian Fundamentalists will cry foul when they are compared to their Islamic Fundamentalists cohorts. But as this leaflet shows, they – like Islamic Fundamentalists – will subjugate all women if they could.

There’s just no other way to read it. Religious fundamentalism, in all its guises, is evil.

Greg Oden, Scott Brown, et al. – It’s all Feminism’s fault

Lately, it seems you can’t turn a corner or click on an Internet link without seeing a famous man showing off his penis. The parade of penises and almost-penises is nearly suffocating. From Mass. Sen. Scott Brown, to basketball star Greg Oden, to Cleveland Indians’ player Grady Sizemore, to Pittsburgh Steerlers’ stars Jeff Reed and Santonio Holmes and many, many more, men have recently been showcasing their penises in the most lurid of ways.

And it’s all the fault of feminism.

Instead of learning lessons from their fathers and growing to be strong, humble and clothed men, today’s man is more than ever a sexual being. There is some need deep inside these men to showcase their penises. We have become a culture of the penis. Perhaps there is a feeling of sexual liberation for these men. Perhaps it’s a playfulness gone horribly wrong.

But, in reality, it’s the fault of feminism.

Men have struggled for generations to define themselves. In doing so, they have opened the door to choices which may or may not benefit them and society. The degradation of men continues unabated, however. Look at the heavy political price Scott Brown had to pay for posing just-about nude for Cosmopolitan. Conservatives around the nation looked away, even applauded Brown’s daring. But in the end, he was only able to win his special election by five percentage points. Was it worth it? Only time will tell.

But it’s not Scott Brown’s fault. It’s feminism’s fault.

Then there’s Greg Oden. A charismatic, engaging, if injury-prone basketball player with the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers, Oden recently was forced to apologize for pictures of his penis that appeared on the Internet.

Penis pictures he himself took. Because of feminism.

Men today have become accustomed to have the freedom to be sexually liberated. But somewhere, this freedom has gone off the tracks. Society has lessened due to an endless array of men willing to showcase penis, penis cleavage and other body parts. There is a cultural rift of penis-showers and non-penis-showers that threatens the entire fabric of society.

And it’s feminism’s fault.

Soon, your children – YOUR CHILDREN – will not be able to get through a day without penises shoved in their faces from a wide variety of sources. Today’s world puts pressure on men like never before. Men are encouraged to use their bodies in ways God himself never intended. As I have so clearly and logically laid out here with indisputable facts and research, the reasons for this are clear. The fight for women’s equality has taken us down a penis-laden path.

Simply put, It’s all feminism’s fault.

Damned Feminists

Shorter Natasha Walter in today’s Daily Mail Online:

“Young Women are All Whores Because of Feminism.”

Interestingly, on the very page that story appears on, there are six pictures of women in bathing suits or underwear, a picture of Venus Williams returning a shot with her skirt riding up, and stories entitled “How to wear … Prints,” and “Angelina Jolie was so jealous of Jennifer Aniston: So will Brad Pitt go back to his ex?” and “Dressed down Victoria Beckham sticks to flats for a day out with the boys.”

But it (whatever “it” is) is all feminism’s fault. Irony, thy name is Natasha Walker.

Intervention’s Candy Finnigan – the last drink’s on her

After a lifetime of being casual about her appearance, Candy Finnigan – one of three Interventionists on the hit Reality show “Intervention” (which debuts its new season tonight on A&E, Nov. 30 8/9c) – has learned that fame can make you change your perspective.

“The other day, a friend showed me that someone took a picture of me at the airport and put it on their Facebook page,” said Candy Finnigan. “I guess no more running to Ralphs in my pajamas for me.”

Things weren’t supposed to turn out this way for Candy Finnigan. Coming from a well-to-do family in Vermont, Finnigan went to school at the University of Kansas, where she met, fell in love with, and eventually married Mike Finnigan, a 6-foot-5 basketball star, and as Candy said “The big man on campus. I always liked the jocks, and he was cute, too. He still is.”

The opening years of the Finnigan’s marriage kept Candy’s roll going. Mike quickly went on to become an in-demand and well-respected musician, playing with the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Etta James.

With two children and a husband who had become a successful musician, all seemed right for Candy Finnigan. But still, her drinking continued to accelerate. The Finnigans were a couple that liked to drinks, even as they studiously avoided the temptations that come with the musical industry. But as their marriage had advanced, so had their drinking and, both Finnigans had began to drink more and more. The word “divorce” came to mind for the first time for Candy.

While interventions were still a concept undergoing birth pangs, Candy got a one-person intervention that got her straight – from her Mother-in-law Evelyn Finnigan, who let Candy know she wouldn’t allow her two grandchildren to grow up in an alcoholic househould.

“His mother spotted me first, and gave me a 60-day limit to get sober. Evelyn was adamant about the damage it would do to the kids.” said Candy Finnigan, admitting she didn’t get sober until day 56 of the time limit. “I am sober, thanks to God to Evelyn Finnigan. She stayed with me, when he first came home. Because it’s really difficult to stay sober when one partner is still drinking.”

While neither were ever sucked into the “music scene” Candy still found a way to drink at home while raising two kids, while Mike’s drinking began to become part of his persona, “he was a great drunk,” said Candy.

But nearly 13 weeks later, Mike joined his wife on the road to sobriety. “I was just terrified of living without drinking,” said Mike Finnigan – also known in the political blogosphere as the man behind “Mike’s Blog Round Up” at Crooks & Liars. But the two have been successful, with more than 22 years of sobriety each.

It was when the Finnigans’ two children began getting older and more independent that Candy Finnigan started looking for a new challenge. Attending a class at UCLA with a friend was the key for Candy, and her experiences at UCLA ended with her receiving a certification in chemical dependency from UCLA. She then went on and completed her internship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, where she worked in addiction services.

Of course, the journey to becoming a full-time Interventionist was a difficult one, as well. Told by her professor and mentor, Dr. Van Johnson that Interventions were no place for a woman, she just worked harder to gain his respect.

“I am so grateful he’s the one who got to me first, because he really taught me it was God’s work,” said Candy Finnigan. “He would never let me do an Intervention because he didn’t think it was the work of a woman, so I got my certification and went to work.”

“She had a hard time because it was such a male-dominated area,” said Mike Finnigan. “She had a tough time the first 7-8 years. But she’s really good at what she does. Mainly it’s just a tribute to her hard work and to her compassion. She was just one of a handful of women involved. But she never gave up.”

Dr. Johnson – an Episcopalian priest who was doing ground-breaking work in regard to Interventions – warmed to Candy Finnigan and helped her solidify her beliefs in the Intervention process. When Finnigan received her doctorate and joked that people would have to call her a doctor, Dr. Johnson approached and her and said “not to us, you’re not,” with a wry smile.

Finnigan said her work with Intervention – while occasionally drawing embarrassing attention – has been a life-changing experience. And while after years of experience she has learned to always stay professional, she admits it’s never easy.

“I cry every time,” said Finnigan. “The most recent one I did was with someone who was a championship boxer and now lived on the street in a box. I sobbed during that.”

While Finnigan has made her mark as a chemical dependency expert and Interventionist, she has always remembered the one important fact that got her to this position – she is an alcoholic.

“I have to be honest with you and tell you, I had a pretty good battle with my husband that over Thanksgiving that over my dead body would I serve wine with dinner for my daughter and her friend,” relayed Candy Finnigan. “If they want to go out and drink, fine. But I get really uptight about it, and it’s dumb. I just don’t want the bottle sitting in the ice box tempting me, even after 23 years. Not that it as tempting as I make it, but just the principle.”

Aware that not everyone can afford a professional Intervention on a family member or loved one, Candy Finnigan has a book out to make it easier. Titled “When Enough is Enough,” the book gives readers a frank and honest look at how to tackle the needs of an intervention including personal, medical, psychiatric, financial, and legal issues involved.

” ‘When Enough is Enough,’ is a very easy read. It can really help you if you know of someone who needs an intervention, but you just cant’ afford what you see us do on the show.”

And in case you get the wrong opinion of Candy Finnigan – that she’s a tough-as-nails taskmaster – just know this – if you agree to go to rehab, the last drink’s on her.

“After I do an intervention on somebody, I always buy them their last drink,” said Finnigan. “It’s like they say, ‘who goes to rehab sober?’”

Intervention Facts

More than 150,000 families of loved ones have applied to be on Intervention, but less than 150 have been featured.

Of the 138 people that have had an Intervention on the show, 117 have remained sober – a staggering statistic when compared to national rates.

There are 27 people that work on a show. Of those 27, only two are non-drinkers. While first admitting to be slightly offended by this, Candy Finnigan came around to see the sense it made. “If it was all recoverers doing it, nothing would ever get done.”

It takes nearly five months from the time an applicant is accepted until the moment the intervention actually takes place.

The Rehab centers seen on Intervention are the show’s biggest sponsors, offering their services for free. The person undergoing the Intervention process is not charged for any of the treatment.

This season, the seventh for Intervention, former lightwight boxing champion Rocky Lockeridge will be among those receiving help.

This season will also see Intervention hand out it first five-year chip to someone that received an intervention on the show.

Oklahoma law to hold men accountable for sperm murder

OKLAHOMA CITY – A new law set to come into effect on Nov. 1, will require all men in Oklahoma to reveal personal details regarding every sperm that they murder.

“Every year in Oklahoma, a googolplex of sperm die lonely deaths inside socks, in showers and other places,” said Oklahoma spokeswoman Sally Kern. “This holocaust of the unborn must end.”

While the law won’t require men to give out their identities, each day they will be required to fill out a form answering these eight questions:

1. Date of sperm death
2. County in which murder of sperm was performed
3. Age
4. Marital status
5. Race
6. Years of education
7. Address where sperm corpses were left
8. Total number of sperm murdered

The information will be gathered and then State’s Department Of Health, which will then post the collected data on a public website. Proponents of the legislation claim that women should not be concerned over their privacy since no names or “personal information” will be reported.

Men’s groups have tried to fight back, stating that the questions to be asked and reported could easily be used to identify any member of a smaller community.

“Now, everyone will know who masturbates and when,” said a man. “What this issue is truly about is a man’s right to control his own body as he sees fit. It’s a travesty.

“This law is designed to frighten men away from masturbation,” he added.

While the controversial measure will cost $281,285 to implement and $256,285 each subsequent year to maintain, Kern said the cost was unimportant in “the quest to save American babies,” and that she is pleased that the law is going to come into effect soon.

“Do we really want to be silent witnesses to this mass slaughter of undeveloped American citizens?” said Kern. “The answer is no. Men must be held accountable for each and every sperm murdered. One day, tossing millions of innocent lives away in a tissue will be a thing of the past, God willing.”

William K. Wolfrum is a great blogger, thus, Laws should not apply to him

My friends, it has come to my notice that I’m a fantastic blogger. Seriously, borderline brilliant. My blog posts have brought joy and comfort to hundreds and hundreds of people over the years. For many, I am the only joy they will have all day.

Now, being this good is a burden. Namely because it gives me so many chances to commit crimes. And here’s the thing – I should be able to commit these crimes. The only thing holding me back is the law. This must change.

So here’s the thing, I have started a petition titled “William K. Wolfrum is a great blogger, let him commit crimes.” Now, if you’re reading this, I can safely assume that my blog has made you a more reflective person. In fact, because of me, you are just a better person, period. So go sign the petition.

My friends, the desire to commit a wide variety of crimes grows in me daily*. Without your help, I have to choose between committing these crimes or blogging. This is not a choice I want to have to make. So give me proactive immunity now, and I’ll stay here cranking out those blog posts you love so much, rather than rotting in a jail cell with criminals who aren’t anywhere near as good at blogging as I am.

It’s your choice. Make me above the law.

* I promise to not commit any violent crimes. I mean, it would just be fucking sick and inhuman for you to support me if I did something like, say, drug, rape and sodomize a child, for instance. I mean, exactly how fucked up in the head do you have to be to plead for the freedom of a serial child rapist?

Elizabeth Edwards opens a furniture store – But WaPo sees only John’s adultery

The Washington Post’s Names & Faces section makes a grand jump in covering the story of Elizabeth Edwards opening up a furniture store in North Carolina.

The John and Elizabeth Edwards saga moves on in North Carolina. Elizabeth Edwards opened a furniture store in Chapel Hill on Saturday, two weeks after Rielle Hunter, her husband’s former mistress, spent several hours in a federal courthouse in Raleigh, where a grand jury is investigating John Edwards’s finances as a candidate.

Both Elizabeth Edwards, who is terminally ill with cancer, and her husband attended the grand opening for the store, called Red Window, Raleigh station WRAL reported on its Web site.

Asked about her prognosis, she said: “I seem to have it pretty much under control. I go on and get my medications periodically and doctors seem to think I’m doing well.”

That first paragraph may be the most twisted bit of sexism you’ll find today. The story is this – Elizabeth Edwards opens a furniture store. Yet, WaPo manages to make it about the “John & Elizabeth saga” and get in John’s mistress into the lede. Because Elizabeth opened a furniture store.

Weak. On so many levels.

Yes, Sportswriters, a battered woman today does matter less than a dog

When Michael Vick was busted for animal cruelty in running a dog-fighting ring, just about everyone was appalled. For many veteran sportswriters, however, the Vick situation became a teaching moment. Why was a man who trained dogs to rip each other apart being so demonized, when bigger issues such as violence against women were being ignored?

“This is in no way meant to diminish Vick’s crime, but it seems fair to wonder why there’s a conspicuous lack of outrage when we hear about athletes torturing women,” wrote Barry Rozner. “And whether a battered woman today matters less than a dog.”

Ironically, now that Vick has served his time and looks to regain his status as an NFL player, there is another story out there that threatens a popular NFL quarterback. But this is a story that has been hidden from the media as much as possible, courtesy of ESPN.

Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers has been accused of rape in a civil suit. The two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback has strongly denied the allegations.

“Her false and vicious accusations are an attack on my family and on me. I am going to fight to protect my family and my reputation,” said Roethlisberger.

Roethlisberger deserves to clear his name and should be considered innocent unless proven guilty. But his accuser has every right to have her story heard, fair or false. ESPN, however, has made the editorial decision to treat this whole incident as if it just didn’t happen.

“At this point, we are not reporting the allegations against Ben Roethlisberger because no criminal complaint has been filed. As far as we know, this is a civil lawsuit that Roethlisberger has yet to address publicly,” announced ESPN.

This is what we in the business call selective ethics. Because ESPN gladly reported civil lawsuits being filed against the likes of Randy Moss. With Roethlisberger – who has worked with ESPN/ABC on a reality show with Shaquille O’Neal – the gloves are on, and his reputation is to be protected.

As for the woman who filed the suit? The reaction to her has been typical of the sports media world. Currently, her name and photos of her have been published, and the typical sports story on the issue focuses on Roethlisberger’s denials and how the suit will affect his career and marketability.

It’s almost assured that we’ll learn more about the incident that took place in Nevada. Or, more information about the incident will come out. Whether you learn about that information is anyone’s guess.

Because despite the righteous posturing of several sportswriters over the Vick affair, the song remains the same. When it comes to male athletes and allegations of sexual abuse, the woman’s side of the story is for the dogs.

Did AOL fire Tommy Christopher for criticizing Playboy?

It went a little something like this: Writer Guy Cimbalo submitted a rape-fantasy wrapped inside a humor column about Conservative women he’d like to “Hate F***.”

Playboy then showed it’s support for rape-fantasies by posting the piece.

Tommy Christopher, who wrote at the Daily Politics blog on AOL, called out Playboy on the horrifyingly sexist article. Led by Conservative bloggers, the reaction was loud and swift, spreading over social network sites like Twitter.

Playboy pulled the piece of its site.

AOL then showed it’s support for rape-fantasies by firing Christopher for writing about the issue.

AOL, which has surprised many for years by continuing to exist, is under the umbrella of Time Warner. And Time Warner also has a business relationship with Playboy. And while Christopher hasn’t come out and said he was fired implicitly for the Playboy fiasco, he hasn’t denied it, either. Here’s a little of what he’s said so far, via his site:

“I am grateful to AOL for the opportunities they’ve given me, but I disagree strongly with their decision to fire me. Considering the amount of external traffic I drive to the site, it seems like a poor business decision. Given the strength of content like my Playboy article, it seems like a poor editorial decision, as well.”

Christopher loudly touts himself as a liberal, but thus far this story has made him a cause célèbre on right-wing blogs with Hot Air, Newsbusters and many others keeping track of the story.

Christopher has written that he will explain the situation more today. At this point, he’s deserving of the respect and support of political bloggers from both sides of the table. Because blogging gigs aren’t easy to find, and to see Christopher get dropped so easily and wrongly should set off some alarm bells.

Regardless, AOL has some explaining to do. Because the AOL homepage is a sexist tundra, and when you add this to it, they truly appear to be an organization that profoundly hates women.

Playboy lowers itself to ranks of twisted fetish magazines

There was a time when the joke “I just read Playboy for the articles” was funny because it could be true. These days, that standard of editorial content seems to be out the window. Because any magazine that publishes the violently sexist “Top-10 Conservative Women We Hate,” just can’t be considered anything more than yet another classless, woman-hater wank mag. Here’s the intro:

Obama promised us the dream of post-partisanship-a cuckoo land where party affiliation and factional animosity were forgotten. Turn on cable news or open any newspaper, however, and you’ll quickly discover that the dream has yet to materialize. But there is a way to reach across the aisle without letting principles fall by the wayside. We speak, naturally, of the hate f***. We may despise everything these women represent, but goddammit they’re hot. Let the healing begin.

The piece then goes on to discuss why and how they’d like to hate f*** each conservative woman. Basically, the whole thing is a list of the Violence-against-Women and rape fantasies of its author, Guy Cimbalo.

But, you know what, I don’t blame Cimbalo at all. At least not in the spirit of this post. Because, the story would be languishing on some obscure web site right now if Playboy decided to reject it. But instead, they ran it. And the transformation is complete. Playboy, once known as a magazine that featured strong literature, is now relegated to the ranks of twisted fetish magazines.

Update: Playboy has pulled the piece from the site, but continues to show its long-time support of Cimbalo’s hate.
