Sometime last year, one of those young girls, so frightened by their religious upbringing, so frightened by what their parents would say or do, hid her pregnancy for 9 months, had the baby in a bathroom, and dropped the newborn off in laundry basket at a local hospital. In 49 states, this desperate action could have been avoided because they all have safe haven laws, which make it legal for someone to drop a newborn at a safe place so it doesn't end up in a dumpster while Mom boogies at the Prom. Nebraska had no such law so what this young girl did was a crime. So Nebraska, bringing up the rear as usual, decided to do something about it.
The Nebraska Legislature, a one body house, a group of 48 rich ranchers, farmers and lawyers and one barber named
Ernie_Chambers who kept them in line put their empty heads together and came up with a Safe Haven Law. The final version of the law, passed out of committee and onto the floor of the unicameral over the objections of the barber, was passed 48-1. It stated that it was now legal to drop a newborn off at a safe place, like a hospital, right up until the newborn was 18. No, not 18 days, or 18 months, but 18 years. The barber, as he's always said since 1970, proclaimed "you will be sorry".
Well, the Barber was correct as usual. The rest of the nation is now using Nebraska as a dog pound. 21 teenagers have been dumped in the last two months by people who can't handle them any longer. One mother drove from Michigan to dump a 14 year old she didn't want any longer. It's getting ridiculous. Even for Nebraska.
Our chinless, diminutive Governor seems to think it's not all that big of a deal. He's too busy keeping 63 year old educators with bad reputations like Bill Ayers (gasp!) out of the state to do anything about this nationwide dumping of kids on our doorstep.
So come on, America, got a smart assed kid you screwed up through lousy parenting? Dump them here in Nebraska. Never mind that Boystown is already here, just drop them off at the hospital and head back home and maybe you can catch the new episode of Super Nanny.
How pathetic! Poor little Trig Palin is now being used as a prop elephant at some Palin Nuremberg Rally. I guess poor Bristol needs an even bulkier Trig to cover up her Levi spawned hockey child. Maybe when little Trig gets bigger, Uncle Levi can dress him up like a hockey goalie and take a few slapshots at him. That is, unless Mommy gets her can sent back to Alaska and Levi can cut the cord. I hear Levi is making calls at Obama HQ pleading for his life.
Last week . while Nebraska struggled against the worst team in the Big 12 South (or the 7th best team in the Big 12), Texas Tech was dismantling Kansas in a performance witnessed by Max's Dad and Max in Lawrence, Kansas. Tech, perhaps because the above pictured 6 foot 7 ,360 lb Brandon Carter is one scary man, destroyed last year's Cinderella team. Texas Tech looked unbeatable.
The dumbing down of the American public continues as John McBush keeps on hanging with this bonehead Ohioan named Joe. For chrissakes, John, get ahold of yourself. Can't you feel your IQ plunging by the day? Between the stupid Minnesotans who think Barack is an Arab, the pussbag Wisconsinites who are scared of Barack, 150 lbs ringing wet, and that moose eating Alaskan you've been hangin' with, your dignity is fast leaving you.
One week to go and even Ted Stevens' girlfriend has jumped ship. Nice scarf. Did you get that at Neiman's or off Obama's website?
The absolute outrage over Rep. Jack Murtha's assertion that Western Pennsylvania is full of racists and rednecks. Preposterous!
