Deeply Distrubing

My life right now revolves around catering to Jackson and Avery during the day. I keep my laptop handy and that's how I am staying connected to the outside world. I have been deeply disturbed by some of the news this week.

The whole scandle with Gov. Blagojevich is utterly fascinating but makes me sick to my stomach because it shows us exactly what does happen with those we've elected. I know this isn't the first time bribes, payoffs, etc for positions has happened but for it to be exposed and for us American's to be able to hear the actual phone calls just makes it even more real. At what point do the elected officials lose any sense of right and wrong? What happens to those idealistic men who are elected? Are politics so corrupt that in order to be elected you have to put aside what you really stand for? It is so sad that this seems to be the case.

The other night when I couldn't sleep I read the entire 74 page affidavit agains the Gov. Yes, I know I'm a little nuts for reading it but I have to admit it is just fascinating to read it all. I am ashamed that someone of that caliber is in the highest office on the state level. What I don't get is why he is still holding on? I do not know how the man can show his face in public but much less go to work and say it's business as usual. I just shudder at the thought of how much this goes on with our elected officials.

The 2nd story that has deeply distrubed me is an ongoing one. Yesterday they found the remains of a young girl who is believed to be Caylee Anthony. Her mother, Casey Anthony, is such a worthless person. (I'm trying to refrain from using obscenities) I have read the transcripts from the interview with her dad, brother, the girl she stole from, the guy she was living with for the month Caylee was missing and not reported, her ex-fiance, and other friends. And yes, I have no life, but find this stuff just fascinating. There were transcripts from an online conversation she had with a guy over a 2 month period. The way she spoke about her daughter was unbelieveable. She called her such horrible names and spoke of her like she was a huge pain in the butt. I understand that she had Caylee at a young age and her freedom was greatly curtailed and she could not go out and live a single life but this is her daughter we're talking about.

Casey has shown no remorse or concern for her missing daughter. The only tears she has shed are those when she was indcited for 1st degree murder. That's it. I can assure you if any of my kids were missing I'd be absolutely hysterical. They'd have to have a Dr. give me drugs to calm me down and knock me out. Oh and this reaction would not be after a month of my kids missing either.

So a utility worker found a body 1/4 of a mile from her house. It is that of a young child that reportedly had duct tape around the mouth of the skull. This morning I read that that the sherrif is saying that there is evidence with the body that shows it came from the Anthony home. They will not elaborate at this time what it is. I don't think there is any doubt in anyones minds that it isn't Caylee.

Now that they have a body I hope the prosecutors decide to go after the death penalty. Well, you know I'm not sure that's what would be best. She'd spend around 15 years waiting for appeals to finish and then die a short death. If she had life in prision with no parole then she'd probably be in general population and would probably be beat up and have horrible things done to her. From the documentaries I've watch child killers and rapists are despised in prison and are tormented. Perhpas that is best for her. Spend the rest of her life in prison having to watch her back every second and having horrible things done to her. Payback for taking this precious child's life.

So the news lately has been distrubing. Yeah, and I have to admit my thoughts on what I hope happen to Casey in jail are slightly disturbing too but they are in line with what she has done. Oh and I've thrown out the whole innocent until proven guilty line out on this one. She's guilty.
