Illinois State Senator Suzanne Schmidt went and made an ass of herself- as in donkey. Last Christmas, she had a squabble with her husband and he ended up outside without a jacket. That wasn’t what got her in trouble, tho.

Telling a 911 dispatcher to disregard your husband’s call…. well that could be a problem. Admitting to biting and scratching him while he’s on the phone with 911 usually would get yourself thrown in the slammer, but that didn’t happen apparently.

At 6:25 p.m. Monday, Robert Schmidt called a dispatcher to report his wife bit him and caused bleeding, according to the 911 recording. A report states a deputy observed blood on Robert Schmidt’s shirt front and pants, purportedly after being bitten and hit with a wireless telephone.

Incredibly, she told the dispatcher: “He might (call), except he’s kind of afraid of me because he knows I have connections,”

“On the 911 recording of the Aug. 16 call at 6:07 p.m., Robert Schmidt told a dispatcher his wife rammed her 2000 Cadillac into his car at least three times soon after he departed their home near Cedar Lake Lane and Fairfield Road in Lake Villa Township.”

Sheriff’s office reports also obtained through a Freedom of Information Act:

“I examined Suzanne’s vehicle and found front-end damage consistent with damage to Robert’s vehicle and story,” wrote Deputy Eric Francke.

Lake County has a problem. Domestic Violence arrests are supposed to be mandatory. Obviously, Senator Schmidt has clout. Not because she is a State Senator but because she is a woman.

So how did this merry little episode end, you ask?

Lake County prosecutors Monday declined to immediately lodge charges against either Schmidt, but additional review will occur after all police reports are completed, according to the sheriff’s office.Robert Schmidt agreed to leave the couple’s home to avoid further problems, authorities said.

Nice. Man-haters win again. Let’s stop pretending domestic violence can be committed by a female.

Georgia executed a murderer Wednesday.  From Fox:

Georgia executed Troy Davis on Wednesday night for the murder of an off-duty police officer, a crime he denied committing right to the end as supporters around the world mourned and declared that an innocent man was put to death.

As he lay strapped to a gurney in the death chamber, the 42-year-old told relatives of Mark MacPhail that he was not responsible for his 1989 slaying. “I did not have a gun,” he insisted.

As many as 700 demonstrators gathered outside the prison as a few dozen riot police stood watch, but the crowd thinned as the night wore on and the outcome became clear. The scene turned eerily quiet as word of the high court’s decision spread, with demonstrators hugging, crying, praying, holding candles and gathering around Davis’ family.

Laura Moye of Amnesty International said the execution was “the best argument for abolishing the death penalty.”

Except there were 34 witnesses. Coulter breaks it down.

Not to be outdone, Texas needled a murderer of James Byrd earlier Wednesday. He was the guy dragged by a truck by white supremacists.

 A white supremacist gang member was executed Wednesday evening for the infamous dragging death slaying of a black man.

James Byrd Jr., 49, was chained to the back of a pickup truck and pulled whip-like to his death along a bumpy asphalt road in one of the most grisly hate crime murders in recent Texas history.

Where were the protesters? Amnesty International? Bueller?

Today, I want to tell both my dedicated readers that I’m coming out of the garage.  Every Sunday for years I have been going to Teri O’brien’s Show over at BTR. At the end of the show Teri played a sound byte of some woman on some show like the View (They’re all fungible) telling the audience that she would feel terrible if being four foot eleven was made illegal and equating it to being homosexual.

With all due deference to Diane over at Freedomswings Marriage is a Sacrament, as such, a license is not needed. The government can only issue a permit for that which would usually be a tort or a fraud. Think of it as ‘indulgences’ the Vatican would pass out like candy. People can pretty much do what they want as long as they don’t hurt anyone else. My problem with calling a Sacrament a Law is that it blurs the line to the detriment of religion.

I have decided to come out, and like all the kids today, fling it out there because there just has to be someone out there that cares. I mean, everything you do or say on the interwebtubes is forever and I just have to get this off my chest.

Reductio ad absurdum

So without further ado, I have started a new group of potential privileged class called Brotherhood Engaging in Automobile Trunk Slamming. B.E.A.T.S. No, it’s not what you think. We Trunk Slammers and car door slammers want special treatment. Just because you don’t understand how anyone could do something so painful doesn’t mean you don’t have to accept us!

Yes, we are “Out there”. We take our picture of HT into the garage and after the door comes down we open the trunk, tweezer a delicate appendage into place and just as the light of the garage door goes off— SLAM!

Now that you know, you must accept us. You must recognize our Right to exist! Fellow Slammers Unite! Come out of the Garage!

 Because lying on the internet can be a Felony!
