Mom in Abduction Hoax Posts Bail

As reported by the AP on Sunday 5/31/09 on AOL.com

PHILADELPHIA (May 30) - A woman accused of staging an abduction hoax that began near Philadelphia and ended at Florida's Walt Disney World was released on $1 million bail, authorities said Saturday.

Authorities say Sweeten phoned 911 on Tuesday from downtown Philadelphia and told dispatchers that she and her daughter had been carjacked and stuffed in the trunk of a Cadillac near their suburban home, prompting a frantic search that ended 30 hours later at a Disney World hotel. Her daughter, Julia Rakoczy, was reunited with her father, Anthony Rakoczy, in Florida on Thursday. Rakoczy still lives near Sweeten, his ex-wife, and spoke well of her in interviews this week.


Editor Rozek’s Note
: I can totally see how this could happen. Haven’t you ever been driving down the street and thought, “Hey! Ya know what would be fun? I’m gonna call 911!...Yeah!…that’s a great idea.” …

Announcer: “Well Ms. Rakoczy, now that you’ve sent the authorities on a wild-goose chase to look for you and your little girl, what are you going to do next?”

Rakoczy: “I’m going to Disneyworld!”

Now they are saying that apparently she may need some sort of psychiatric help. Oh…I don’t know…Aren’t we being a little rough on her? It was just a little 911 call. She was taking hormone shots for a IVF procedure. That must be the problem. But on that note…How many kids do these people really need?

Rakoczy: “Come on honey! Let’s go get some pickles and ice cream and then carjack ourselves and go to Disneyworld!”

Julia Rakoczy: “Oh! Yes. Thank you Mommy! You seem sane to me!”

Father, 29, in child support court says he has 21 kids

As reported on May 22nd, 2009 on VolunteerTv.com

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- On paper, he has 20 possibly 21 children. With a minimum wage job, he can't afford to support them all. What is the state to do? Desmond Hatchett, 29, told WVLT he wasn't out to set a record, though he certainly holds it in Knox County Juvenile Child Support Court. Hatchett's children range in age from newborn 11. There are at least 11 mothers; probably several more. Constitutionally, there is nothing the state can do to limit him from having more. "I had four kids in the same year. Twice." Desmond Hatchett told Volunteer TV. It's due process-- the state is only allowed to take 50% of Hatchett's paycheck. That's 50% split multiple times.
"You look at when they filed, how many children they have-- he has several mothers that he has two children with. And, it's tough". Still, Hatchett says the women knew what they were getting into. They were all aware of his large family. One said, she doesn't like it but she deals with it. "It's about the kids. Not the parents," she said. Hatchett agrees he should do what's best for the kids.
Desmond Hatchett spent part of Friday afternoon jailed while a child support referee decided how to split up the $400 he brought to court. If he doesn't pay what he owes, he will go back to jail because he is on an automatic jail order. The mothers of Hatchett's children are supposed to get anywhere from $25 to $309 a month, but when his paycheck is garnished amongst them all, some women only get a $1.98 a month.


Editor Rozek’s Note: Ah…family! This is truly a beautiful love story! It’s too bad that we can’t get more people into the welfare system! What does this guy look like?…and how does he keep getting these women pregnant?…I mean…I know how I guess- I’ve read books and seen pictures here and there…But what the heck? Where is he meeting all of these women? Is there a nightclub somewhere with a neon sign that says “Stupid Fertile Women Here?” If I ever have a child, remind me to see if one of these mothers will be my child’s nannie! I’d hate for my baby to grow up with any common sense. Then again, if she will work for $1.98 a month, I suppose I could just get a Nannie-cam and an educational DVD. Heck! I’d pay her $2 a month if she would take her for a walk and sing a song other than “Pussy monster.” Don’t get me wrong… that is a beautiful song. I would just rather she learns “Mary had a little lamb” before I have to wash her mouth out with soap when her first word is the “F-word.”

Proud non-reader’ Kanye pens a (short) book

As reported by MSNBC on tuesday, May 26th (Reuters)... (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30949487/)

‘Thank You And You’re Welcome’ is a 52-page collection of rapper’s theories

NEW YORK - Rapper Kanye West does not read books or respect them but nevertheless he has written one that he would like you to buy and read. His book is 52 pages — some blank, others with just a few words — and offers his optimistic philosophy on life. One two-page section reads, “Life is 5% what happens and 95% how you react!” Another page reads “I hate the word hate!” “This is a collection of thoughts and theories,” West, 31, said in an interview about his spiral-bound volume, which was written with J. Sakiya Sandifer. He calls his wisdom “Kanye-isms.”

“Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed,” West said. “I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph.
“I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life,” he said. West, a college dropout, said being a non-reader was helpful when he wrote his book because it gave him “a childlike purity.”
“My mom taught me to believe in my flyness and conquer my shyness,” he said, defining “flyness” as confidence. “She raised me to be the voice to allow people to think for themselves, to find their own way.”



Editor Rozek’s Notes:… Oh my freakin’ God! This is why I’m building an ark! I like to refer to these undereducated words of wisdom as “idiot-isms.” As a proud non-brusher of teeth, I like to get clean breath by making everyone else’s breath smell worse than mine by feeding them crap-balls!

I don’t believe in books, I get by just on my looks
Some people think I’m fly, but it’s only cause they’re high
The kids look up to me and I’m dumber than a flea
My music has a groove but my bod just gotta move
So someone had to spell the 3 letter words as well
But that’s just who I am I’m leading music down the can!

Hard-luck Montana town pushes to house Gitmo detainees

HARDIN, Montana (CNN) -- The tiny town of Hardin, Montana, is offering an answer to a very thorny question: Where should the nation put terror detainees if the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is shut down by the end of the year as President Obama has pledged? Hardin, population 3,400, sits in the southeast corner of Montana, in the state's poorest county. Its small downtown is almost deserted at midday. The Dollar Store is going out of business. The Hardin Mini Mall is already shut. The town needs jobs -- and fast. Hardin borrowed $27 million through bonds to build the Two Rivers Regional Correctional Facility in hopes of creating new employment opportunities. The jail was ready for prisoners two years ago, but has yet to house a single prisoner. "It would bring jobs. Believe it or not, it would even bring hope and opportunity," Greg Smith, Hardin's economic development director, told CNN. The state's congressional leaders have lined up against the plan. "Housing potential terrorists in Montana is not good for our state," Max Baucus, the state's senior Democratic senator, wrote to Smith. "These people stop at nothing. Their primary goal in life, and death, is to destroy America."

Manicurist Donovan Lindsay says bringing the detainees to Hardin would bring more law enforcement, and that would make the town safer. She also believes it would generate jobs . "We are the poorest county in the state of Montana and we need all the help we can get," she says. Greg Smith thinks the prison would generate business for gas stations, restaurants, and other local enterprises, giving the entire region an economic boost. And, he says, it would benefit the country.

Editor Rozek’s Note:…So they couldn’t just put up a Walmart like everyone else? Isn’t that the nation’s answer to the struggling economy? They had to build a prison and can’t find anyone to live there? It is getting harder to fill prisons these days. I was going to put up a drug dealer/ice cream stand in my back yard but no one would come to mine either. I think it was something to do with my big sign in front! Whatever! There’s nothing that says “hope and opportunity” like a big jailhouse full of suicide bombers! Of course…they may have something about the fact that it would allow job opportunities to more people- …cause every 2 weeks 100 of them would get blown up and then they can offer the positions to the next 100 in line. In a mere 34 weeks, this whole controversy would be moot. It is truly a great answer that will have people moving to Montana in droves! You see it all the time…The dollar store goes out of business and then “poof! Like a magic Jeannie in a bottle- along comes the incredible opportunity of housing the nation’s terror detainees…2 miles from the one room school house! That’s really nice. I don’t know what Max Baucus’ problem is! What a buzz kill! Blah blah blah…destroy America! Aren’t we being a little dramatic Maxie waxie? I mean…come on. Let’s leave the opinions to the people who really know what they are talking about – the manicurists! At least she sees it the way it really is- an opportunity to make Hardin, Montana a safer town to live in!

Royal chauffeur suspended after alleged palace security breach

LONDON, England (CNN) -- A royal chauffeur was suspended Sunday after he allegedly allowed undercover reporters from a British tabloid to enter Buckingham Palace in exchange for cash. Mazher Mahmood, of the London-based News of the World, claimed he was allowed to enter the London residence of Queen Elizabeth II without security checks after paying a man identified as a Buckingham chauffeur £1,000 ($1,591). Footage of the incident filmed undercover showed the chauffeur giving Mahmood, whose face was blurred, a tour of the royal garage and, at one point, allowing him to sit in one of the vehicles.
Buckingham Palace has experienced a number of high-profile security lapses in the past. In 2003 an investigation was launched after "comedy terrorist" Aaron Barschak gatecrashed Prince William's 21st birthday party at Windsor Castle, PA reported, wearing a dress, beard and sunglasses, Barschak climbed on stage as the prince addressed the crowd, and kissed him on both cheeks. That same year, a journalist with the Daily Mirror newspaper spent two months "working undercover" as a palace footman.

Editor Rozek’s Note:…I think that the palace needs a “Beware of Dog” sign on the front lawn. Here’s how I imagined it happening:

Cross-dressing bearded man: I’m sitting here today at the Queen’s dressing table. We have secretly replaced the Queen's MAC line of compressed foundation with Folgers crystals. Let’s see what happens.

The Queen:
(as she walks out of the bathroom in a towel- she gasps as she sees the man sitting at the dressing table) Schnikies! Alas what are you doing here?

Cross-dressing bearded man: (pause- then pointing to her towel) Oh that’s simply darling love! I love the lace around the edge.

The Queen: (dropping her towel all distracted by the towel flattery) Yes. My great, great Grandmother Victoria made it while she was mourning her first cousin/ husband Albert. It has been passed down as the royal towel since her death in 1901. It is lovely isn’t it?

Cross-dressing bearded man: Yes. Quite... Oops… I think you dropped something. Ooh…wait…Oh! Nope, my bad…It appears that gravity has dropped that. Sorry.

The Queen: (scooping the towel back up to cover her) How did you get in here?

Cross-dressing bearded man: …uh… I didn’t?...I mean…I’m a figment of your imagination?...um…no…OK… You got me! I paid your Chauffeur and he just let me right in.

The Queen: Oh dear! That is quite troublesome! You must hurry along now lad! I need to let someone know to prevent this from happening again. That boy is in trouble. The last chap he allowed in here posed as a palace “footman” and he knew absolutely nothing about shoes!... Out now! Out!

Miami Dolphins player arrested in Freightliner truck incident

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Miami Dolphins defensive end Randy Starks was arrested early Sunday after police said he struck an officer with a slow-moving Freightliner truck, according to a police report.
Officers said they saw the Freightliner truck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on South Beach's Ocean Drive with some 13 people inside, including a woman sitting on the lap of Starks, who was driving. The truck's seating capacity is four occupants, the police report said.
In the report, the officer recalled pursuing the truck on foot for about a half-block and pounding on the rear driver's-side window, but it kept moving. "I slowly approached the side door and just as I reached it the vehicle accelerated and started moving forward and slightly to the left .The vehicle's path caused the driver's side of the vehicle to strike me in the chest pushing me back and pinning me against a vehicle stopped in traffic in the northbound lane." A police check showed that the truck's license plate was not assigned to that vehicle, the report said, and Starks faces a charge for that as well. Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene told CNN the club was "only recently made aware of the situation. Since we are in the process of gathering information we have no comment."


Editor Rozek’s Note: …I have no comment either...except...Why are they always picking on these athletes? I can’t understand why this was a problem? First of all- How could Randy have been expected to read the maximum occupancy sign on the truck he had just stolen?... 4? ...It could have been 13?... I’ve skimmed the picture book driving manual that they give strong athletes while they are in training… there is no picture of a guy driving a stolen vehicle with a girl on his lap that has a giant X through it anywhere. I am quite certain that he has a law suit against the makers of the “Reading without Literacy for Dummies (Who are Good at Sports & Make a Crap-load of Money)” series on his hands. He had absolutely no way of knowing that what he did was wrong!...I mean… GO DOLPHINS! ...Secondly…I bet they can get this case thrown out. Clearly the officer missed a comma in the report.

In the news...Tiny seahorse...

Tiny seahorse, world's longest insect among top new species

(CNN) -- A pea-sized seahorse, the world's longest insect, a "ghost slug" and the world's smallest snake were among the top 10 species discovered in 2008, a committee of scientists said Friday. These unusual critters were among thousands of species found last year, many in remote or tropical regions of the planet that hint at the breadth of the Earth's undiscovered biodiversity. "Most people do not realize just how incomplete our knowledge of Earth's species is," said director of the International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University, which announced the top 10 new species list. Also on the 2008 list are a caffeine-free coffee plant, a snail whose shell twists around four axes, a palm that flowers itself to death and microscopic bacteria that live in hairspray.

Editor Rozek’s Note:…Well Thank God! This poor little seahorse has been hanging out all alone, writing songs about why no one notices her. She threw a party and laminated this article for her bedroom wall! Finally she is complete! Rejoice! …as for the microscopic bacteria that live in hairspray…THANKS A LOT FOR THAT! I’m just sitting here, a nice girl who wants her hair to hold up to the humidity, and some scientist has to come along and announce that I’m wearing microscopic bacteria on my head! Did you ever notice that no one dies of anything until they’re diagnosed with it? Now…I have to have my allergist make shots out of my hairspray…Come on! - He already thinks I’m nuts! As far as I’m concerned, I sort of wish these scientists had “flowered” themselves! Thanks guys…

In the news...GOP congressman asks for probe of Pelosi-CIA charge

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A Republican congressman Wednesday asked the head of the FBI to investigate allegations that the CIA lied to Congress about the Bush administration's use of "alternative" interrogation techniques on suspected terrorists. Rep. Darrell Issa said, the claim, leveled last week by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, left him doubting whether "I can believe in the briefings I am receiving" from intelligence agencies. "If CIA is lying to any of us it puts me in a position of not being able to do my job properly." Justice Department documents released in April, show Bush administration lawyers authorized the use of techniques such as sleep deprivation, slapping, stress positions and waterboarding, which produces the sensation of drowning. But Bush administration lawyers argued that the tactics did not violate U.S. laws against torture as long as interrogators had no intent to cause "severe pain." Nancy Pelosi told reporters last week that she was briefed by the CIA on such techniques once -- in September 2002, and that she was told at the time that techniques such as waterboarding were not being used. She said she learned that waterboarding had been used after other lawmakers were briefed in 2003.

...Editor Rozek’s Note:…Oh Nancy! Did you really think that anyone would jump to your side on this one? The document said that they could slap, stress and waterboard! You may as well have said “gee, I was in that meeting and my kid text messaged me while I was listening and I thought they said that they were taking the prisoners skateboarding!” “ oops…my bad!”… I have to say it was a bold move to take on your old buddy Leon Panetta…I mean…don’t I recall a dispute you had with him over a tiny little thing like say,…oh…I don’t know…maybe liberalizing trade with China? I’m sure there were no hard feelings! People never take that stuff home with them. Politics is one of those jobs that ends right at 5PM! Personally I would’ve thought, “hmm…I wonder if the CIA is filming me on a big screen satellite right now…and flipped my hair back and waved and said, “I’m sorry that this happened. It was a matter of national security and I deeply apologize on the behalf of congress and all involved for any uncomfortable drowning sensations we may have inflicted on the bad guys.”
… As for poor Darrell…did you really say “IF… the CIA is lying to any of us?” heh, heh, heh,…oh…you poor baby! I thought that was the CIA’s job? I think you signed some of those CIA lying clauses into action??? Don’t worry…I’m sure it was in a pile of about 900 pages under the one about allowing the elderly to adopt puppies!

In the news...Mary Kay Letourneau

"Hot for Teacher"
Former Teacher To Be Joined By Husband, Who Was Former Student
SEATTLE -- Mary Kay Letourneau and her former sixth-grade student -- the father of her two youngest children -- are hosting a "Hot for Teacher" night at a Seattle nightclub.
Letourneau, now 47, served 7½ years in prison after she was convicted of raping Vili Fualaau, now 26. They were married four years ago this week.
The bar's owner said Letourneau has served her sentence, she's married her former student, and it's OK for them to have some fun on a Saturday night.
Mike Morris, owner of Fuel Sports Eats & Beats, said this is the third time Letourneau and Fualaau have hosted a "Hot for Teacher" night at the nightclub. The event begins at 9:30 p.m. Saturday.
The couple first met when Fualaau was in the second grade. Their relationship became sexual when he was 12 and she was a 34-year-old married mother of four.

…Editor Rozek’s Note: Mary Kay! Come on. I don’t think you are thinking about what really matters here: ME! Don’t you know that this ridiculous behavior of yours is all about me? Every time you do something this stupid, I have to stop on the way to school and pick up a new outfit- I had to wear a freakin’ turtle neck today! It’s 85 degrees! Isn’t anyone getting this woman some help yet? A kid, is a kid, is a kid…I don’t care if a person is 30 years old, if he ever called me “Miss Rozek”, he is not dating material!.. this is a rule I apply across the board – students, DMV workers, the cashier at Old navy… Try a little harder to think about how your actions effect others from now on- No one thinks you are young and cool! “Hot for teacher”…why don’t you call it “Instable crazy lady night?” You’ll get more guys in there that way!

Building a Case Against Drew Peterson

In the news today...

Dislike for Drew Peterson Is One Thing, but is There Enough Evidence Against Him?
As Drew Peterson sits in jail on murder charges for his third wife's death, his stepbrother could prove key to the prosecution's case that he also killed his still-missing fourth wife, Stacy Peterson. Drew Peterson is being held now only for the 2004 murder of Kathleen Savio, whose death the medical examiner had initially ruled a drowning accident. But a grand jury is still hearing evidence that alleges Peterson's involvement in Stacy Peterson's death. Included in that evidence are statements from Thomas Morphey that he helped his stepbrother move a large blue barrel from Peterson's home on the last day Stacy Peterson was seen alive.
The day before he helped move the barrel, Morphey said Peterson confronted him. "He said, 'How much do you love me?'" Morphey told "Good Morning America" in March. "I said, 'I do.' And he said, 'Enough to kill for me?'" Neither Stacy Peterson nor her body have ever been found, nor has the mysterious blue barrel.

Editor Rozek’s Note:…I have no idea why they are bothering this poor guy! He clearly has the worst luck in the history of luck itself. Here he is, this unassuming guy, just trying to live life by being the best guy he can be, and wife after wife keep leaving him! I feel horrible! He had asked his neighbor to help him lift the blue barrel but the weight of the “fruity pebbles” he had put in it kept shifting and it felt like she was moving dead weight so he had to ask his step brother to help instead. Haven’t you ever been in a situation when you’ve been accidentally caught asking someone "Would you kill for me? " ...Come on! It’s like… “please pass the chips”, “can I borrow some sugar”, “how much do you love me? Enough to kill for me?” It’s just conversation… So the medical examiner didn’t notice the giant hand print on the back of his first wife’s head where she had held herself under water until she stopped breathing. It’s so unfair that he has to sit there and wait while people make unfounded accusations against him just because of a couple little mistakes…like asking the wrong step-brother to move the blue barrel…um…Drew -I guess the answer to your question about how much he loves you is …“not quite as much as you had hoped!”

In the news... "Government runs nation's only legal pot garden"

In the news today...

OXFORD, Mississippi (CNN) -- Here, in what could be called the Fort Knox of dope, under the gaze of security cameras and a blinking motion sensor, another scientist pries open the lid of a large cardboard barrel, opens a large plastic bag and digs his hand into the vat of meticulously manicured marijuana. This is the government's "cannabis drug repository."
How much would this be worth on the street? "A lot," he answers. But the security of the operation is of obvious concern. "Within this building right here, we have seven different alarm systems. We have camera systems. We have cameras in this room that are monitored by the Drug Enforcement Agency in suburban Washington”. And everywhere, there are locked doors. Keyed locks and push-button locks. Locks are as omnipresent as the skunk-like smell of raw marijuana.

…Editor Rozek’s Notes:…It’s a darn good thing that the government has this facility! Sometimes the Drug Enforcement agency doesn’t have anything to do. This ole “war on drugs” is silly. No one is doing drugs anymore. It was a fad! There is simply nothing to do! It is a far better use of tax dollars and trained drug enforcement security officials to be monitoring their own stash! When one of the officials was asked for comment, he replied, “…um…dude…there’s a lot of…um…stuff in here man…” Another said, “we have cameras, locks, keyed locks, push-button locks, lock locks…” The interviewer stepped into the cafeteria to view a peak of the behind the scenes action. There was a table piled to the ceiling with corn chips and potato sticks, next to it a wall-sized refrigerator jammed full of pepsi and a shelf full of visine eye drops that could make any CVS envious! He walked back into the room where he had been interviewing the previous employee, to hear him still talking… “…fried locks, broiled locks, steam-fried locks…” Overall, this was a day full of eye-opening experiences. Our country is truly lucky to have this much weed to give so many fried Americans job opportunities that are so necessary to counter today’s economic troubles!

Woman in Swimsuit Arrested after Chase...

Today in the news...
“A 50-mile, high-speed chase ended in Sacramento, Calif., Monday when a swimsuit-clad and barefoot driver surrendered to police. The woman, Annette Hurd, was allegedly fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run accident in Rio Vista in her red GEO Tracker. "I wasn't worried about me, I was worried about losing my dog," Hurd said she was a "little bit" intoxicated and tired after swimming all day and was worried that her small dog would be taken from her if she was arrested after the accident. She led the police on a chase at speeds topping 100 mph. Police used spike strips to destroy Hurd's tires, but finally managed to stop her when they used a patrol car to hit her vehicle."

...Editor Rozek’s Note:…Oh my! Well…This is truly an issue that faces society today. How can people be expected to drive the speed limit if policemen keep racing after them in hopes of capturing their dogs? I was drinking my face off and swimming one day (cause they always told me that I have to wait at least a half hour to go into the water after eating…they never mentioned alcohol), and upon scooping up my dog and putting her in the car, I had forgotten to put on my pants and shoes. Of course… I accidentally ran over something on the way! I just told you I was drunk! Duh!… Besides…what was that little old lady doing on the sidewalk anyway? It had been a really long day of recreational activity and I shouldn’t be expected to be clear of mind while this crazy Officer “Wicked Witch of the West” was tying to steal Toto! I’m pleading not guilty and requesting a supporting deposition from all the people at the pool, on the street, and the people who watched those darn law enforcement officers ruin my tires! I’ll show them how stupid they all look! Geez…

Myanmar may rush democracy leader’s trial...

In the news today…Myanmar may rush democracy leader’s trial"The lawyers of San Suu Kyi have expressed that Myanmar’s military regime appears to be rushing a trial of the democracy leader. The statement was seen as a pretext for the government to keep the Nobel laureate jailed through elections next year. Suu Kyi, who has been in detention without trial for more than 13 of the past 19 years, had been scheduled to be freed May 27th. Suu Kyi has been accused of violating her house arrest after an American man swam to and entered her lakeside home without her permission."

…Editor Rozek’s note: If I had a dollar for every guy who swam to the door of my home, I would have millions! His family described him as a “well-intentioned admirer of Suu Kyi who merely wanted to interview her.” Yeah…I know…but do you think the lake was good for the laptop he carried in the inside pocket of his jacket? I can see him standing on the bank across the lake from the home calling out, “San! San-a boo-boo! I admire you! Let down your hair!” She ran to the window and threw up the sash… “Alas, ole bank standing admirer,…but I can not come out! This ankle bracelet prevents me from reaching out to you!” He contemplated for what seemed like no longer than a split second as he slipped his computer into his pocket, took of his shoes and leaped into the water to get the interview he so had longed for! The hundreds of police in full riot gear with rifles stood along the bank as San watched the man doggie paddling in the middle of the lake with rifles pointed at him! “Freeze!”, yelled the police. He yelled back… “I already am! This water is freakin’ cold!” The police fished him out of the water and confiscated his computer in search of details that may lead them to the reason why this Nobel Peace laureate would want to try to help anyone at all!
