I Like Swimming, And I Have Children, But They Don't Live With Me

Yep...I've already taken the time to start an online dating profile for Casey Anthony. Jurors acquitted her this week on all charges that she killed her daughter, Caylee, or had anything to do with her death. Here's a fun fact...it took jurors in the Rod Blagojevich trial more than a WEEK to come back with a verdict when they had the evidence right in front of their faces...it took jurors in the Casey Anthony trial only about 11 HOURS to come back with a verdict because they say there was NO evidence linking Anthony to the crime. After the verdict, the defense team went to a bar to celebrate...and one of the attorneys had a special message for the media:

That's Cheney Mason, whose bird show has earned him a complaint from the Florida Bar Association. The Bar says Mason did not maintain the integrity of the profession...which MUST be an ironic by-law. Anyway, Cheney, hear me out: I agree with you. For the last three years, members of the national media (I'm looking in the direction of YOUR pantsuit, Nancy Grace) have skewered Casey Anthony. I watched the "Waiting For What Will HAVE To Be A Guilty Verdict" coverage and they spent hours talking about how guilty Casey Anthony is and how exactly she manipulated everyone in her life. Media's supposed to be non-biased. Anyone out there who bitches about Fox's Unfair and Unbalanced coverage should have been absolutely pissed off at the bias by some (not all) media outlets on the Anthony trial. So, yes, regardless of whether she did it, Casey Anthony got a bum rap from the media and journalists probably deserved that middle finger...but not from you, Cheney Mason. That middle finger seems almost celebratory. But Juror No. 3 told ABC News after the verdict that many of the jurors were sick to their stomach that they'd have to acquit Anthony. But they had to do what jurors do...look objectively at the evidence presented. And the prosecution just didn't have enough evidence directly tying Casey Anthony to the death of her daughter. It sucks, but it's true. What's ALSO true, Mr. Mason, is the defense didn't win this case...the prosecution lost it. Remember, Jose Baez's opening statement promised to tie Casey Anthony's dad to the crime AND prove he molested his daughter. Not only did the defense NOT prove this, but the judge forced Baez not to mention it during the closing argument because they hadn't proved a thing! So, Mr. Mason, you can keep celebrating your courtroom wins...as long as you face prosecutors who rode the short bus to law school. Ass. Also, I'm thinking about selling bumper stickers: "Honk If Casey Anthony Should Be The Next 'Bachelorette.'"

The OTHER thing that caught our attention at Thinking Hard this week came from Katie R., who, incidentally, will be celebrating her birthday this week. Happy birthday. And nothing says "happy birthday" like a woman dying after having sex with a dog. No joke. The Irish woman met a guy in a bestiality chat room back in 2008. They hooked up...and by "they," I mean the woman and the dog...and she died soon after. Only recently did investigators find out it's because the woman had a severe allergy, possibly from the dog's semen! Just another crazy news story of "Man Humps Dog."
