    I'm surprised NC has LIFE sentences or even 80-year sentences for rape. In NY rape is a B Felony! That's right, folks, in NYS you will do more time for drug possession than for rape. It makes me fucking sick. #gardasil

    @La Chica Lucy: Priorities. We don't have them. Ugh, it makes me sick to think that people will honestly get more outraged at animal abuse (which is terrible but IMO not greater than human suffering) than at domestic violence and rape. Or that the US and our shit for brains drug policy crowds already overcrowded and underfunded prisons with drug abusers and as a result has to let violent, repeat offenders out early. Policy fail. #gardasil

    @La Chica Lucy: I worked with a couple guys convicted of rape (two different jobs), one got probation for confining and raping a woman with his friend, the other served two years of a ten year sentence for drugging/getting drunk underage boys and raping them. In comparison, serving 80 years is a pretty harsh sentence.

    Just to be clear, the NC change in life sentences was not by the legislature, but was a change in interpretation by the Courts. The law says an 80 year sentence is a life sentence, and so they're now going to treat it that way. (The AG argued it just meant eligibility for parole, not the length of the sentence.) The article is very fear-monger-y. All the people mentioned have been in prison for over 30 years and are eligible because of good time credits. Also, 80 years is relatively high compared to most other life sentences I've seen which are often more like 25, 30, or 40 years. #gardasil

    @jleigh: All valid points. And yet, I still don't think that a convicted rapist (much less a convicted child rapist) should ever be released back into society again, even if they have been on good behavior (although it might be difficult to be on "bad behavior" since there usually aren't girls in prison to rape). That's just not what "life sentence" should mean. #gardasil

    @5ft of fury: Do we know that the men themselves weren't children or near-children when the rapes occured? The age of the girl remains the same but the man grows older, so while a 17 year old man raping a 14 year old girlfriend is disgusting, it's not quite the same as a 57 year old man who, according to the books, is known for raping 14 year olds. Other jezzies have pointed out that the justice system often doesn't account for this, turning a technical pedo by really a rapist into a psychotic monster on the books. #gardasil

    @BytheSea: It looks like all the rapes involving children were B1 Felonies in North Cackilacki which means that the defendant was at least 12 years-old and at least 4 years older than the victim.

    The 9 year old was raped by a 21 year old and the 15 year old was raped by a 22 year old. Haven't looked into the rest.

    My head is all for strict interpretation of the constitution; my heart is pissed because a violent crime is a violent crime. #gardasil

    @winner: But a 57 year old who committed one sexual assault when he was 20, against someoen who was close to his age, is morelikely to be rehabilitated and less lkely to committ a crimeagain than a 57 year old who raped a 14 year old. #gardasil

    Ms. Thomas may sadly be proven correct, at least in regards to Mr. Obama.

    If he does not get a public option going and get rid of DADT then he's a do-nothing.

    @logruszed: I agree with her. I was astounded during the primaries that so many people thought he was a real mover and shaker. He was Mr. "Present" as a Senator and always seemed diplomatic enough but never really COMPELLING to me on any issue besides racism, which is kind of a "soft" issue as far as policy goes. The line that he would be the inspiration and just, "have really good people" was trotted out a bit too much for my comfort too, considering that is the same thing people said about Bush when he was elected. That said, I think he is incredibly intelligent, inspiring, all around great-guy who I voted for; courageous? Mmm... In many ways yes, but for pushing an agenda, that remains to be seen.

    Sali Berisha is a no-talent assclown who uses "fiighting corruption" as a means for promoting his own family members and hangers-on, and still thinks he can sling propaganda around like it's 1992. and apparently he can - despite having been literally run out of the country in 1997 after the collapse of the pyramid schemes, was elected again in 2005. then again, his opponent was Fatos Nano - who was also ran out of the country earlier and elected again at a later period (anyone else here detecting a pattern). Anyway, I'm sure all the Albanians who are going about their days, as the winter approaches, with dwindling electricity and water, really care deeply about Mother Theresa's remains. This is a guy who, confronted with said electricity shortages, suggested that Albania build a nuclear power plant. If you haven't been to Albania, it may not seem as absurd, but, trust, this is a country where an explosion of WW2 era munitions took out a huge chunk of Vora, not to mention the grid is so decrepit that about 70% of power is lost in transmission, well, you can guess how a nuclear power plant could work out.

    Anyway: Albania, fun times, fun times.

    Also, true story: when I was an exchange student in Germany, the people running the program had us watch that Simpsons episode. One of the kids in our group's family was from Albania. Turns out, the language Adil is speaking during his transmissions? Not actually Albanian. #rapists

    Princeton's new dorm is a good gesture, but still misguided. Putting all transgendered students who want gender-neutral housing in one dorm isn't a boon to them, it's practically segregation. Last year, my school made ALL dorms gender-neutral...it really isn't even noticeable. Why couldn't Princeton have done that?

    Can we please make it illegal to compare anybody who hasn't committed genocide to Hitler?

    We'll make the penalty a 13 week course on the Holocaust. The course will include trips to concentration camps and Holocaust museums, readings of Eli Weisel, Primo Levi and other survivors, and listening to the audio recordings David Boder made in the 1940s.

    Because swear to god, if I listen to one more ignorant asshole make a Hitler comparison I'm gonna lose it.

    Mother Theresa herself said that she doesn't belong to India or Albania, but rather the whole world. Therefore, the only logical thing that we can do with Mother Theresa's remains is to make them set them floating at sea, in international waters.
