Senator Dipshit

I don't know how I missed this story, but when I heard the audio of the Senator from Texas who beat his daughter, I was more than a little upset.

Jay Thomas played the audio on his show on Wednesday afternoon and let me tell you, if you're gonna' Google it...it's heartbreaking. I won't even post the link.

It was that crazy.

The guy's name is William Adams. His daughter is Hillary. She suffers from cerebral palsy, first of all. Secondly, she was just a kid.

The back-story is that she went on the Internet to illegally download music after she was told not to. Her disgusting mother (who's name I didn't catch) caught her back at the site downloading the music and the rush to punish her was on.

We hear the voice of her charming father telling her that she is to bend over the bed and take the beating she so richly deserves.

The kid knew it was coming. That's why she planted the camera. It had evidently happened before.

The wailing child was heartbreaking.

The father was screaming at her to take her punishment.

The mother also got a couple of whacks in.

And it was horrible for those of us listening in.

Being on both sides of the parenting coin allows me to comment on such things.

I grew up in the 70's where there were occasional smacks across the ass given out as a way of discipline. I recall being terrified of getting in trouble, but I was by no means beat.

By any stretch of the imagination.

And certainly nothing like what I heard on that audiotape.

Those parents were enjoying it.

My Dad would threaten and we were certainly afraid of his bark, but this is a totally different ballgame.

I was also spanked by the nuns back in those days, but again...never anything approaching this poor girl.

As a parent...the kids have certainly sent me close to rage on a few occasions.

Very few.

I hardly ever raise my voice.

And I've never struck them.

But as I listened to that girl scream in pain as the belt struck her...

...and more importantly as I listened to the guy try to explain why she was a piece of shit and he was king shit of asshole mountain...

...it was my kids who I thought of.

There is no way I could listen to them scream in horror and continue to do the thing that is making them cry.

No way in hell.

I need to find out more about this guy.

Because my initial assessment of him as a human isn't real positive.

The girl released the tape to You Tube in an effort to show what she was subjected to. She waited 8 years to release the tape because she was deathly afraid of the guy.

Look it up if you can take it.

Senator William Adams from Texas.

Suits

Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
