How is it

that I, who cannot stand Sarah Palin, I mean to the point where I think choosing her should have immediately DQ'd John McCain for obvious senility, am getting all upset on Stupid Internet Forums and am defending her when people start playing armchair OB about her pregnancy decisions and such?

I mean really it pisses me off. And I am amzed how many people out there think water breaking = labour.

Um, no.

Gah.

cranking on the news again

This story infuruiates me and I keep forgetting to mention why.

A 23 year old man is not "dating" a 12 year old. He is molesting her. And if you've seen her pictures, she's a young 12, in a lot of makeup, not one of those with a C cup who looks 17.
Twelve year old girls do not have "boyfrinds" who are 23, they have molestors. If she was 12 at the time of the murders, he was very likely having sex with her when she was 11. ELEVEN.

At the time, Canada's age of consent was 14. It's now 16, sort of, there are lots of "if/then" clauses, mostly so we have something to use against the FLDS loons in BC).

Why the media keeps referring to this assclown as her "boyfriend" is beyond me. There's some assclown here in Montreal who claims he did not molest a 10 year old because she was his wife, and there's some evidence she was going along with that (er, accepting it as a means of survival) and no one is referring to him as her "husband" in articles.

I want to know why this man hasn't been brought up on sexual abuse of a child charges. And why the media isn't asking this.

Seriously.

Irksome.
