Second class dungeon.

Republicans are often accused of wrongdoings simply because so many of them lead secret gay or criminal lifestyles.

Paedo hid under girl's bed

A PAEDO seduced a girl of 12 — then lived in her bedroom for THREE MONTHS without her mother finding out.

Scott Jennings, 22, cut a giant hole in the bottom of the youngster’s divan bed then used it as a secret den to evade detection if somebody came into the room.

He systematically abused the girl. And when she went to school in the morning, Jennings slipped out of the house to find food. Jennings, of Ashton-under-Lyne, Gtr Manchester, befriended the girl on a bus last year.

He began chatting her up, persuaded her to give him her mobile phone number and then arranged a date.

When they met, Jennings said he had nowhere to live and confided that he was wanted by police for a minor dishonesty offence.

He told the girl he needed somewhere to hide and was taken into her home unnoticed. The pair then cut a hole in the bottom section of her bed enabling him to hide in it whenever her mum came in.

Oh, here's an artist's conception of the perv's hiding place:

"Unusually large" fight leads to arrests

About 15 Seattle police officers broke up a brawl early Sunday morning outside of Jillian's, a billiard club in the South Lake Union neighborhood.

One of the 20 people involved in the fight punched an officer in the face with a cellphone, said police spokesman Sean Whitcomb. The officer, a five-year veteran, received three stitches over his left eye.

A 26-year-old man was arrested for investigation of assaulting an officer.

Police responded to the 700 block of Westlake Avenue North about 1:24 a.m., after a call from Jillian's, and found an "unusually large" fight in progress.

"Oftentimes when we arrive people will cease their criminal activity and try to make a getaway," Whitcomb said. "Not so in this case."

Police used Tasers on two other people who were arrested. One was transported to Harborview Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.

Other participants in the fight fled the scene, Whitcomb said. Neither police nor club workers know what led up to the fight.

Today a cashier said to me: don't people realize that time isn't real?

I replied: and all this is a dream.

Prediction: at some point this week, Bush or another prominent Republican will mention Saddam Hussein's death sentence, and express bewilderment that more Americans didn't rise at the opportunity to deliver some desert justice. Especially when the Iraqis were so excited by it they rushed it out before the election.

Panama just joined the UN Security Council. For some reason, probably because I'm an American dick, I laughed out loud when I heard that.

I'm watching PBS. They just aired a piece on the Capitol Steps. Jesus, what a bunch of witless hacks. That "maloprism" guy is beyond worst. I hope the Democratic Party Junta puts them to the blade.

Uh, by the way, my predictions are: Senate goes Democrat, House stays Republican. I know the second one is pretty dumb at this point, but I'm too honest to edit my original posting time, and I've been making that prediction for weeks. I gotta get better at this blog.

I'm kind of buzzing right now. This election is finally producing the bipolar euphoria I was owed in response to the suicidal depression caused by the election in 1994.

I'm trying not to get ahead of myself. A new day is rising. Man, it says something about how bad this country is when the election of some Democrats actually seems like hope a' bornin'.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

If a religious leader has a personal inclination toward homosexuality - and nonetheless can look past his own inclination to defend the institution of marriage and to affirm its benefits for the raising of children - why should he likewise not be honored for his intellectual firmness and moral integrity?
