July's Second Poll: The Casey Anthony Trial

Here are the results of the last poll, which centered on the Casey Anthony trial and the results of that trial.

Casey is guilty as sin and should have been sent to jail.
2 (33%)
Casey is innocent and I am relieved at the outcome.
0 (0%)
Someone thought she saw Casey in Oklahoma and tried to mow her down. I would if I could.
0 (0%)
I may or may not agree with the outcome, but the fact is we weren't there and will never know what happened to Caylee.
4 (66%)
All I can say is Casey should be remanded into custody to have her tubes tied and then be released on her own recognisance.
0 (0%)
Well, Casey is out on her own, but she should not get a book and/or movie deal.
0 (0%)

Two people (33%) felt that she was "guilty as sin and should have been sent to jail". The other four people who voted (66%), felt that they "may or may not agree with the outcome, but the fact is we won't know what happened to Caylee". A mixed bag, but mostly the answers I expected. There were a huge amount of disgruntled people after the trial came to a close and some rather shocking incidents happened... the term "disgruntled" is very low-key for the general feeling out there. Many were up in arms about the verdict.

But the fact is none of us were there. And maybe she was guilty as sin, but the system we have in place won't allow us to lock someone up if there is any reasonable doubt as to that individual's guilt or innocence. I suppose the system has its flaws. In this case, it may be that those flaws kept Casey from serving time (although she was locked up for the length of the case, which was not a fast moving trial).

It will be interesting to see how public opinion continues, what she does with her second chance, etc. She has considered going to law school as one option (I find that interesting; you would think she has seen too much of the court process), and I suspect there will be book and/or movie offers. We shall see...

And so I need to think of a new poll to post... any ideas, my readers?

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
