    I think my favorite crazy ho story was this black girl at the University of Iowa who was sending racist death threats to herself and several other minority students. Turned out she just wanted an excuse to leave the school.

    It's sorta like if Dean Grouse and Ol' B Face had a baby.

    That has to be an old photo, right? At first I thought it was a scar left by her handiwork, but that's because I'm not quite awake yet.

    I'll just say that I'm glad the truth came out about this in short order. I'll actually credit the police on this one. Not that it should have taken loads of detective work to determine the origin of a backwards "B", but at least we didn't get all the way into the Susan Smith (Yeah, remember her, drove her babies off a bridge and then blamed a black man!) level of news cycle before the truth was ferreted out.


    And about Mayor McCheese….um, if you didn't think you did anything wrong, why're ya resigning again? I mean Blago held out till like the very end. His hair never broke a sweat or anything.

    So he admits the email was in poor taste yet he didn't know that watermelons were a stereotype used with black people. What a fucking contradictory moron.

    He was thinking of the less commonly known fable about the 1000 watermelons typing up the works of Chaucer. I mean, come on, when I first saw that e-mail that's the first thing I thought of - anyone who thought about black people is inherently racist

    Let me see if I remember the reasoning for the backwards `B'.


    1) She remembered Hester Prynne had the `A' carved on her forhead, and Ms Todd has dyslexia so to her that `A' looked backwards?


    2) `A' is adultress and `B' is batty.


    2) Ms Todd traveled often on foot by roadway in the slow lane like all trucks and she needed traffic ahead of her to be able to identyify her in their rearview mirrors?

    Really? Grose accepts the fact that sending the email "has affected his ability to lead the city"?


    I'd think the fact that he's an utter fucking idiot would affect his ability to lead the city.

    I was drinking a bourbon and listening to an impromptu bluegrass sidewalk jam after eating a ruby trout at an Italian restaurant in the B-face-incident hood just last night.


    Nothing happened to be, save the hangover.

    There is something sort of amorphous, or undefined, about her. She seems more like a (sad) cartoon character to me than an actual thinking person.

    @Mama Penguino: The phrase "desperate for attention" keeps cropping up in my head. She reminds me of a couple of girls I've known through my life -- boyfriend would ditch them for the Xbox and suddenly they were mugged, here look at this obviously self-inflicted bruise, no I'm not going to file a police report; thank god I was carrying the wallet with my old student ID and an out of date Blue Cross Blue Shield card; do you think they attacked me for my insurance?


    Usually the right combination of SSRIs and talk therapy would iron those issues right out.


    B was taking it to extremes, though.

    @BitterDiva: Yes, perfect!


    @howdybeep (runs with monkey wrenches): I was thinking the same thing as I wrote my first comment. I knew two girls like this. One ended up kidnapping a couple of kids she was babysitting with at the prompting of her loser boyfriend (who pulled her strings). The other became this jolly fat mama-type who facilitates adoptions for other people.

    @Mama Penguino: Of the two I've known, one committed suicide* and the other went into therapy after faking a pregnancy for nine months.**


    * We think that her boyfriend had become so immune to her suicide threats that he didn't believe her and didn't bother to call for help when she told him she drank bleach. We also think that she wasn't expecting to actually die, but the girl did make herself a Clorox cocktail.


    ** Oddly enough, the "father" stuck by her and now they have a little boy. I hear they're happy.
