The Unknown Criminal has struck again

A horrible stabbing last night in Century City. A Camarillo woman, Pamela Fayed, was brutally murdered. A mother of two, she deserves our thoughts and prayers today.

However, in our politically correct world, all we know from the fish wrap of record is that the police are looking for a

suspect, described as a slender man in his 20s wearing a black hooded sweatshirt.

Wow. A man in his 20s wearing a hoodie. That’s helpful. With all of the “eye witnesses,” why isn’t the LAPD releasing a racial description? As a frequent shopper and parker in the Century City Mall, should I be suspect of every slender young male in Los Angeles? Was he tall? Short? Dark hair? Blond? Was he white, black, Hispanic, Asian?

Are you hiding something, LAPD?

But there was a shining angel in all of this. Thank God for the unnamed Good Samaritan who removed his shirt in an attempt to stem the blood loss from Ms. Fayed. From my own personal experience, I want you to know that the family will find comfort in knowing that you were there.

My Boy is Back - Where are the bumber stickers?

Mitt Romney is back and he's looking good. Tan and well rested, he is the BEST choice for McCain. Articulate, brilliant, smart business man, good family guy and great teeth. In an image-based society, you cannot underestimate the importance of spewing a good sound-bite, and being photogenic.

I can see the bumper sticker now.

A McCain/Romney ticket will beat back anything the Dems can throw at us. Romney is everything that McCain is not. He was and continues to be my first choice for president. He recently sat down with CBS news:

The most obvious assets that Romney would bring to the Republican ticket include his economic expertise, fundraising prowess and potential to give McCain a boost in more than one battleground state. But a less talked about plus side to a Romney vice presidential candidacy is that despite his perpetually sunny demeanor, the former Massachusetts governor is not afraid to unleash razor-sharp political attacks against the opposition.

"This is not the time for an amateur," Romney said of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama. "This is the time for a tested, proven professional to lead our country."

Romney brims with confidence and is almost always unflappable. The McCain
campaign has taken advantage of Romney's willingness to take the offensive by
encouraging him to make TV appearances on the senator's behalf.

No mercy for the merciless

Well, someone in California State government got it right. Perhaps they started reading the blogs, or took a poll and realized that Californians want Susan Atkins to die in prison, not in a hospital bed surrounded by her friends and family. The only thing better than Susan Atkins dying in prison is if her family is sitting behind some Plexiglas wall, outside her room, unable to touch her, hold her, pray over her as she dies what will hopefully be an extremely painful and protracted death.

She showed no mercy, she should get no mercy.

Los Angeles (KFI) - California's parole board has a denied a "compassionate release" request from Manson family killer Susan Atkins.

Atkins is serving a life sentence for eight murders in 1969, including that
of pregnant actress Sharon Tate. Atkins admitted to holding Tate down and stabbing her more than a dozen times.

But Atkins, now 60, is dying of brain cancer. Her husband, James Whitehouse, pleaded with the parole board Tuesday for her release.

“Compassion’s not something you earn,” he says, “it’s something that every single person should have merely by means of the fact that they’re human beings.”

He says Atkins can barely function and has only about three months to live.

Debra Tate says Atkins didn't show her sister Sharon any compassion and should die in prison.

“She should die in a hospital ward and fulfill her obligation to society,” she says.

L.A. County's District Attorney sent a letter to the board Monday asking the chairman to deny Atkins' request. D.A. Steve Cooley said letting her out would be an "affront" to Californians and to the families of those murdered by the Manson gang nearly 40 years ago.

Because you have converted to Christianity (or Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, or the religion of peace, Muslimism) does not absolve you of your crimes and your debt to society.

Ms. Atkins you lost your right to compassion when you picked up a knife and killed eight people, nine if you include Paul Richard Polanski.

As you lay in bed dying, reflect on the pain you have caused. The lives you took; the lives that never had a chance to breathe air. The destruction you caused in the lives of so many. Reflect and ask forgiveness … alone. That is the only compassion you deserve.

Kaman Really Got it Wrong

While Kobe gets that the Olympic dream is about representing your country, Clippers player Chris Kaman thinks it’s all about him. He wasn’t good enough to make the US team, so he’s gone off and become a German citizen so he can play for Germany. According to Kaman:

"Hey, the U.S. team didn't call me; this is my one chance to fulfill that Olympic dream every kid has," he said.

News flash, Chris, the dream is to represent YOUR country in the Olympics. Not your great-grandparents.

After all, didn’t we fight a war to stop the Nazis and prevent us all from becoming German citizens?

Didn't They Abolished Slavery?

In today’s fish wrap, Jonah Goldberg’s column has the provocative title of “Forced Servitude in America?” He uses the term to describe Obama’s compulsory volunteerism for educational dollars scheme:

In his speech on national service Wednesday at the University of Colorado, Obama promised that as president he would "set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year."

He would see that these goals are met by, among other things, attaching strings to federal education dollars. If you don't make the kids report for duty, he's essentially telling schools and college kids, you'll lose money you can't afford to lose. In short, he'll make service compulsory by merely compelling schools to make it compulsory.

Hearing the discussion on McIntyre in the Morning, without knowing the context of the Goldberg column, my mind went straight to “I thought we abolished slavery in this country?” If forcing students into volunteering for an education that SUCKS isn’t forced servitude, what is it?

I suppose we could alternately call Obama’s plan:

• A violation of child labor laws?


• Indentured servitude - a contract committing an apprentice or servant to serve a master or employer for a specific period of time


• Slavery - the practice of, or a system based on, using the enforced labor of other people

Kobe Gets it Right – It’s about pride … in America

Happy 4th of July to everyone. While I had to bash on Kobe for losing big in Boston, he got it right in the LATimes interview this week.

Q: After watching what happened in Athens, did it motivate you to play this year?

A: Absolutely. Absolutely. You're dealing with national pride. You never want to see the United States lose at anything. Water polo, soccer, whatever it is. You don't want the United States to lose ever. And in this case, even more so, because it's basketball and it's what I do.

Q: If they had won gold four years ago, would you still have been so eager to play this year?

A: I've been itching to play for our country for quite some time. Because like I said, this is what I do. I play basketball. And this is an opportunity for me to represent my country and show the appreciation that I have for everything this country is.

Q: What does it mean for you to actually play in these Olympics?

A: It's beyond words because whether it's playing for the Lakers or Carmelo [Anthony] playing for the Denver Nuggets, you're representing your market. When you put on the USA uniform, you're representing the country and it's more special. It's something I take a great deal of pride in.

Kobe, I’m proud of you too.
