Good girls are bad girls that never get caught.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies.

The ****er's lawyer is claiming the insanity defense. I hope that doesn't stick as his actions seemed planned out and very calculated, IMO. How do we separate insanity from radical religious beliefs?? They seem parallel to me.

They are not the same...one is a psychological disorder, the other is evil.  Big distinction.
