Fun With Play-Dough

At a town hall meeting in Texas, McCain claimed to know how to find Osama and how to get rid of him. Really? So, why not tell us now?

But I don’t feel like jabbing at McCain today.

I found a rather amusing bit of news on the CNN website:

Capitol Police officer admits setting fires

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A policewoman suspected in a series of small fires in restrooms in buildings around Capitol Hill late last year has admitted guilt and agreed to resign and pay restitution to avoid prosecution.  Karen E. Emory, a U.S. Capitol Police officer, must resign by March 4, get a year of professional counseling, and avoid any other criminal activity over the next 12 months.  She was indicted for destroying government property after investigators and prosecutors suspected she was behind at least two fires in women’s restrooms in the buildings. None of the fires caused injury or substantial damage, and restitution is listed at $215 dollars, payable within 90 days.  As part of an agreement for deferred prosecution, Emory signed a statement saying she “willfully destroyed property of the United States, specifically, toilet roll dispensers and toilet tissue under the control of the architect of the Capitol,” causing damages of less than $1,000.

Now there’s a dissatisfied citizen. I’m so intrigued, and can’t wait to find out more about this story. What motivated her to set toilet paper on fire? Just a plain old pyromaniac, who got caught early? Does she lie awake at night, fantasizing about seeing the whole damn building go up in flames? And what would have been next? Sometimes I think it would be funny to let people like that do their thing, without interference, just to see how far they will go.

And what is that with having to abstain from criminal activity for 12 months? What, when the twelve months are over she can set fire to the White House?

What would it be like to try and find a job after this? 

Maybe she should only be allowed to work near large bodies of water.
