[That extra space up there is for drawing bunnies with pink crayons. I'm considerate that way.]

That tag line makes it sound a lot more fun than it actually is.

You can skip future updates then, mats. Personally, I think it's the funnest news story going right now.

dear court tv,

run this trial live, and then run it again as a repeat so I can always watch it at some point during the day. this is amazing.

someone in the other thread mentioned that this could be an elaborate ruse to earn her a "not guilty by reason of insanity" verdict. i'm not a lawyer, but wouldn't that require her to PLEAD insanity, first? and wouldn't that be... difficult... for her to do as her own lawyer?

"your honor, i plead not guilty because i am batshit insane. i mean, how could i really believe all this stuff i believe and NOT be crazy?"

Sorry if I came off as snarky. I was really just trying to make a ribald joke about handcuffs, spanking, and older women. The news story is just fine.

handcuffs, spanking, and older women.

It's a winning combination.

It's a winning combination.

Ain't that the truth.
