Don't Go Getting all Honorable on Me....
I've been thinking about blogging so I can bitch about all the things that really piss me off or totally mystify me...or both. I guess occasionally I might talk about something neat, but really - how often during your day do you stop and say, "Hey...that's neat!" Usually, it's more like "What a MORON!" At least, that's the way it is in MY world. Your world's not that way? Lucky you.
So, this morning I was listening to the news (local television news will most likely be a subject of a future bitch session) when there was an update about the boy who needs a very expensive biopsy and so his mom tried to raise money on eBay to pay for it. Surely you heard about that. Anyway, after an initial flap about the whole thing, she auctioned off a bumper sticker for $10,000. Great! We're all happy for her and the kid and all. But, get this! This morning they're reporting that she's turning down the money because - GASP - the winning bidder is an online gambling concern. Pardon ME! WTF!?
Does this woman want her kid to have the biopsy or not? I'm tellin' ya...if it was MY kid, I'd whore on Main Street if that's what it took. God save me from the Righteous! Someone take that child into protective custody will you? His mother's apparently a lunatic.

The ridiculous part is that the woman got the whole ebay idea from that gambling web site, because she saw that they were the ones that bought that lady's slice of toast that had the Virgin Mary on it.
So she figured ebay would be a good place to try to raise money for her kid's biopsy. So the gambling web site read about it and decided they'd try to help her out.
And then she refuses the money. Well, at least if her kid dies, he can die without having taken any money from an "immoral" web site, right?
