"I am shocked and disappointed that he would do something like that," said Jim Dotson, another Denton County constable. "If they have a case against him, I'd say prosecute to the fullest, regardless of who it is."
Mr. Floyd is married with three children, according to his Web site. He is a Vietnam War veteran and has served in several law enforcement positions since leaving the Army in 1980, according to his Web site.
"I hope he's innocent," said John Dillard, mayor of The Colony. "Anytime something like this happens to a decorated Vietnam War veteran, it's sad."

"He wanted us to be able to have my friend's two children for the weekend so we could be sexually active with them also," the officer wrote in the probable cause statement.
"He mentioned a few times that they were the age that they wouldn't talk and tell and asked if I thought they would," the officer wrote. "I told that him they wouldn't."

I will never understand how one could possibly gain sexual gratification from thrusting into a screaming child.
LP opie, three possibilities we have speculated-out:
1) MASSIVE insecurity/control thing, so bad it's not enough to just beat a (physically) grown woman (or maybe the subject would be intimidated by one), brought about in part by abuse.
2) Extremely long-term "training," the goal of which is to produce a highly specialized mental landscape in a partner who would be welded in a perversion of monogamous loyalty to the subject by the twisting of normal parental feelings.
3) The idea that sex is something between adults and bad, and that molesting children on the other hand is not sex but just playing; we have never come across this kind of thinking without strong religious sentiment. A special corrolary to this is homosexuals attempting to deny their homosexuality with the damaging and bizarre behaviors that result from crossworshipping communities that consider that condition to be a chosen sickness.
More generally, fundamentalist, literalist and biblical inerrantist upbringing is almost a guarantor of moletation. The number one factor in child abuse is alcohol, but number two is fundyosity, and extremist religion tends to engender alcoholism anyway, so it's circular.

Speaking as a not-so-proud resident of Canon City, Colorado, it's amazing that the political leanings of these criminal "Bobos" never seems to shatter the local illusion that Republicans (and particularly Texans, who vacation here often) are supposedly virtuous, Christian, and upright at all times... except when they get caught attempting to have sex with an underage girl. Not that this man is being lionized, but the GOP-friendly culture of the town refused to note his political leanings, because it might cause them to believe that Republicans are fallible.

"Atrios, were is the political twist? Sorry, but this pervert could just as well been a democrat."
I don't think so. It has become pretty obvious to me that democrats are democrats because most of them are too kind to think of keeping their fellow man without health insurance, food, jobs, education, decent wages, overtime, the right to declare bankruptcy from hard times, decent working conditions, safety rules in the work place, pensions,-- decent lives, in other words. A real democrat could never rape an eight year old.
It has also become obvious that there is something seriously missing in the psychological make up of republicans where they can do these things without batting an eye. They think it is more terrible to say fuck than to napalm the 65,000 women and children in Irag in the last few years. Raping an eight year old is what they think is their entitlement.
Republicans are either very stupid or very corrupt.

Most of the rich people I knew seemed to Republican just because it was the only socially acceptable choice for some reason. Many of them support Bush because he's what they see as a "winner". Bush reminds them of themselves, I think, which is why they take the Bush criticism so personally.

Denton county texas is about 10 blocks from wher I live. ANd The Colony is the next town up. Its good to know I have neighbors I have to watchout for.
-You’re now living in America at the time of Bush. Do you see any grounds for optimism?
No.
- Do you see in the future that America will be a place where you will be able to live?
I think it’s much more difficult to live in the United States for me, than it was a couple of years ago. With all the craziness of the Clinton administration I could easily identify with Mr Clinton. Even with Lewinsky – that could be me. I could do that kind of stuff. I’m what you might call ‘weak’ or ‘interested’ or ‘curious’ or ‘a lover of the female’ – however you want to express it. I identify with that completely.
- Do you feel a real difference in the atmosphere after Clinton, under Bush?
Yes, yeah, sure, because it’s much more gung ho and it’s much more… dangerous.
- Do you think you could make a movie about this change of atmosphere, in America?
Well, if I didn’t already do that with Starship Troopers, then basically I don’t think so. Not at the moment – it would be impossible to get it off the ground. The American studios are already asked by the government to be as patriotic as possible, and to participate in this ‘fight against terrorism’. It would be very difficult to make a critical movie. If I would do it, it would be extremely critical of that.
- But you could do it, by making a movie that seemed patriotic but in fact is a critique.
If I found something, I would try to do that.

Hmm, I'm not sure Woody's the best guy to quote on this thread. OTOH:
As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree' -- probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.
Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.
I don't believe in the after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Between air conditioning and the pope I take air conditioning.
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.

Dunno if anyone saw Now last night, but it was about the whackjob AG in Kansas, and the subpoena of records from Planned Parenthood. Brancaccio asked him: "If your motives are to prevent child molestation and rape, why aren't you trying to get records of births from hospitals, where the mothers are under the age of consent?"
The whackjob's answer was, "Well, you presume that we aren't." Obviously, if any Kansan hospital got such a subpoena, it'd be in the news, eh?

You're asking about the scrapple, right? Sorry, I lived near Amish country when I was a kid.

Nope. He pretty much is only interested in hunting mice by moonlight, and oft ignores the household rules. He's a good boy...about 70% of the time.

Well, the Planned Parenhood subpoena certainly made news. You work with some clinicians, no? Do you think a hospital getting this kind of subpoena isn't going to make enough noise to draw attention...?
My guess is that no, he's not issued any subpoenas to hospitals for records on underage mothers who gave birth. So, even though he claims to be investigating cases of child rape, he doesn't seeem that concerned to investigate the rape of children if it results in a live birth.

sallyh,
Miss Tabby's general rule is that so long as a person is living under her roof and being cared for by Miss Tabby, the person must abide by Miss Tabby's rules. No cartons of milk with just a drop left in them in the fridge, change the toilet paper roll if it's out, that kind of thing.
In this instance, however, i think that sitting down with your daughter and talking, as calmly as possible, with her is what's called for. Explain to her that she is still quite young (as much as 19 year-olds think they're so mature) and that she has her whole life ahead of her in which she can screw up. randi sounds like a smart girl, but sometimes, it's the smart ones who make really stupid decisions. ask her what she expects from this relationship with this man in particular that is so vital that she marry him.
A "go slow" approach is paramount, especially with a 16 year age difference.

The plant where Milton-Bradley used to make the wooden tiles is a coupla miles from my house. The company sold the place back in 2000 (or thereabouts). Now the tiles are plastic and icky.
The was a show on the food channel or somewhere today about scrappl; the guy went to a scrapple factory in PA and asked what was in it; nobody there was eager to tell him.
Answer, pork jowls, tongue, liver and heart along with corn mush, baked into caked which can then be sliced and fried.
The same guy did NYC vendor hot dogs and lutefisk a little later. Lutefisk is dried cod soaked in lye, then boiled. Apparenly if you make it right it's mild and flaky. But nobody makes it right, so you get fishy gelatin.

Tena's right about Lebanese eggplant dishes, especially baba ganush, which, like tabouleh, no two families seem to make the same way. What the recipes have in common is thorough cooking is many spices, then tangy garnishes. Only after chewing for a bit do you really notice the eggplant, which leaves a nice aftertaste.

One of our family friends when I was growing up was a guy named Ghassameli Aromlou. He told us that he was a Turkish rug merchant. We went over to his apartment a number of times and he always served eggplant for dinner. It was good, but I can't tell you what any of it was: there was a green version, a brown version and a purplish version.
Later he admitted that he was a general in the Shah's army, and had to, uh...leave in a hurry in the wake of the Iranian Islamic revolution.

Nothing! He was invited to visit, but only when Lola's grown up. E was optimistic about Thursday, and now about Sunday, but I'm pretty sure she won't be grown up for at least a few more days. In the meantime Sam is entertaining himself by going on mice safari. He's looking for the perfect rodent to present to Lola when she comes of age. He's such a sweet, thoughtful guy.

Good evening, freethinkers.
I just came back from a 70th anniversary party at the best swimming place in the NY Metro area, where I grew up, here
I am in such a great mellow mood. A swim out in the country will do that for you.

agave: I would have loved to talk to that guy.
You might also enjoy conversing with my crazy friend, Amir. His dad's Iranian; his mom's from Oklahoma. At age 5, his dad kidnapped him, and took him to India, then later, to Tehran. Before the Iranian Revolution began, the government shut down the "international school" (where all the kids were taught in English), and the options for teen boys at that time were to go to the religious schools, or enlist in the army. Amir and his pal stole a moped, crossed the mountains into Turkey, and called the British Consulate (he had family living in the U.K., too). They got him on a plane back to OK in a few weeks, and he's been here, since.

Kent™: have you thought about zipping the files before storing them?
No; zipping highly-compressed files (which WMP are) is not usually a good idea -- it usually results in almost no space-saving, and sometimes, actually results in larger files.

Which is the whole point. Get the opponent so mad at you they can't function properly or just distract them.
Plus, the trash talking always helps to pump one up.
Bush and crew would be the type(s) to run crying after one good punch. Just like when tried to chickenshit out of going to Iraq on Thanksgiving. And then, whne he got there he wouldn't leave the freaking airport.
While Hill was touring the WAR ZONE in Baghdad.
YOu wanted him to get his ass kicked by a woman. He did. Why didn't the Dems bury his ass with that shit?

thanks for the link.
Over in Ouray, they have a pool that is filled by a natural hot spring. I've not been in it, but it's been there since sometime in the 20's, and I'd love to go sometime. Last time I was in Ouray, there was no time to swim, but we did pass it and it is really popular.
I'm not sure how I would really enjoy swimming in hot water, though, to tell the truth.

Later he admitted that he was a general in the Shah's army, and had to, uh...leave in a hurry in the wake of the Iranian Islamic revolution.
NTodd
I got a buddy at work that was an officer in the Iranian Navy when the shit went down.
He said he was shaving in the am when he heard the news on the radio.
He said he quickly reported to the ship he was assigned to and before long, revolutionary guards with AK-47's boarded his ship and demanded that he turn it over. He said he pulled his 45 and pointed it at the leader guard's head. After the showdown, he said he maintained control of the ship.
I never asked him what happened after that or how he got to the states. Real sweet guy. Very reserved, but with a real good sense of humor. I wouldn't try and take a ship from him, tho.

There's a different gelato place that my sister in law and mother in law like. It's on Knox St., just before you cross the old Katy tracks that are now a bike trail, and go into Highland Park. If you're facing Highland Park, it's on the right. If you're facing Central Expressway, it's on the left.

Tena, the pool is fed by a mountain brook, but the water does warm up by around midsummer if there's not a lot of rain. Today the water was delightful.
Best of all,the people who hang out htere are all moonbats, nature lovers, and freethinkers. Which makes for a real mellow atmosphere.
I collect swimming holes, both official and unofficial,and I know a lot of the good ones in the NY/NJ area.

I lived in "dynamic Denton" for 6 months in 1973. Dad was going to grad school, and we used a cassette recorder to tape the evening news so that he could keep up with Watergate.
One thing was that it was a dry county,
the nearest liquor stores were next to a trailer park whose owner got to incorperate, and allow the Demons Rum and Wine to be bought by the public at large.
It was about 14 miles out of town, so the joke was that someone who wanted more booze would have to drive drunk 14 miles before they could get more spirits.
Of course, as a native Californian, I'm spoiled when it comes to liquor stores, the ones in MA wouldn't allow minors to carry the beer from a store in 1971, so there you go.

Dead thread, I know - but I just want to add:
3) The idea that sex is something between adults and bad, and that molesting children on the other hand is not sex but just playing; we have never come across this kind of thinking without strong religious sentiment. A special corrolary to this is homosexuals attempting to deny their homosexuality with the damaging and bizarre behaviors that result from crossworshipping communities that consider that condition to be a chosen sickness.
