Useless tidbits

Friday’s lunch special, the rib plate, followed by a cone at Sandy’s? I was trying to wrap my head around two bits from the Houston paper.

It’s about the low bid system:
Article about the low bidder went bankrupt. Makes me wionder if going for cheap over quality is the best way to do it.

Misconduct:
According to this article, this woman was convicted for some kind of assault, for cutting off her (former?) boyfriend’s, well, read the article. Too graphic for me, but I’m male.

“she left a tiny little nub”

Reminded me of that joke, about the jury selection phase of a trial, it was case where a wife had found her husband in bed with another woman, and the wife shot the husband. One juror, when questioned, had replied, “When I caught my husband cheating, I just divorced him. I didn’t know there were other options.”

I’m equally divided on this one, say, the woman was right? She’s been convicted of assault, but what punishment does that merit? Time already served? But as a guy? It’s a scary precedent, isn’t it? Lop that thing off and feed it to the dog?

While I’m certainly no feminist, I can’t see that what she did was all that wrong. Crime of passion. While it’s not a life worth living, not by my understanding, still, if the guy was violent, like she suggested, he got what he deserved.

It’s still a frightening precedent.
