Friedman Submits Petition for Texas Ballot - Yahoo! News

AUSTIN - Musician and author Kinky Friedman took his rebel campaign for governor to state authorities Thursday, presenting 169,574 voter signatures he hopes will get him on the November ballot as an independent candidate.

'All I can say is, thank God for bars and dance halls,' said Friedman, who wore his trademark black cowboy hat and chomped a cigar while explaining where many signatures came from.
Independent gubernatorial candidates had to collect 45,540 signatures from registered voters by Thursday's deadline to make it onto the ballot.
Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn, the other major independent in the race, turned in Tuesday what her campaign said were 223,000 voter signatures.
Republican Gov. Rick Perry and Democrat Chris Bell will be on the fall ballot because they won their parties' primaries in March.
The Secretary of State's Office has said it will take five or six weeks to verify whether Friedman and Strayhorn have enough valid signatures. An outside vendor will input the names into a computer database, then state officials will check the names for validity.
Those who signed the independent candidates' petitions cannot have voted in the Republican or Democratic primaries or runoffs. Voters cannot sign more than one independent petition, or the signature provided second won't be counted."

Cute Overload: HedgeSpa

Dahlings, There is no better way to start the week than with a few spa treatments. First, get your quills moisturized. Twice. They bring out your beady eyes.

Second, your dainty paws could use an apricot scrub and peppermint oil massage. Those paws are tiny, and you carry the weight of the Cute World on them. They must be refreshed!

Lastly, and most importantly, I recommend BeautyHedge nose cream, for a supple, come-hither schnozzle. Try it, Dahlings!

Court sentences German cannibal to life for murder - Yahoo! News

By John O'Donnell
Tue May 9, 12:10 PM ET

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - A German cannibal whose killing and eating of a willing victim shocked the nation received a life sentence for murder Tuesday after a court overturned a previous manslaughter conviction.

In delivering the decision, Judge Klaus Drescher threw out the defense team's argument that Armin Meiwes had acted on his victim's request, a crime similar to euthanasia which in Germany carries a maximum prison term of five years.

"The defendant was fully conscious of his actions and could control them," Drescher told the court.

"This is not killing on request," he said. "He killed him because he wanted to slaughter and eat his flesh. He had achieved the biggest kick of his life."

Meiwes, 44, was standing trial for the second time after Germany's top criminal court ruled his 2004 conviction for manslaughter and eight-year jail sentence was too lenient.

Under German law Meiwes could be released after 15 years. The court rejected a request by prosecutors to deny his right to be released early, saying his victim had volunteered to be killed and eaten.

Meiwes corresponded with 400 people over the Internet in his search for a willing victim before stumbling upon Bernd-Juergen Brandes, a high-ranking IT manager with German firm Siemens.

In a tale that has horrified the country and inspired a feature film, Brandes traveled by train to meet Meiwes, where the cannibal videotaped himself severing Brandes' penis with a knife before both men tried to eat it.

Bleeding profusely, Brandes fell unconscious. With the video recorder still rolling, Meiwes laid him out on a bench, kissing him on the lips before plunging a knife into his throat.

"The next one must be young but not so fat," Drescher quoted Meiwes as saying after the slaughter was complete and his victim was suspended from a meat hook.

Meiwes later froze 30 kg (66 lb) of flesh in parcels labeled schnitzel among other things, said the judge. He later ate the flesh with red cabbage and potatoes.

The judge described Meiwes as psychologically sick but fully aware of his actions.

HERBED LAMB, TOMATO, AND ZUCCHINI KEBABS Recipe at Epicurious.com

"Kebabs are not only fun to eat, they also save time: It takes less than 10 minutes for these lamb cubes to cook up medium-rare. The marinade, made with fresh thyme and rosemary, infuses both the meat and the vegetables with south-of-France flavor.

CLICK LINK TO SEE PICTURE:YUM

1 large garlic clove
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 (2-lb) piece trimmed boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1 1/4-inch cubes
3 medium zucchini (1 1/2 lb total)
24 large cherry tomatoes (3/4 lb total)

Special equipment: 16 (12-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in warm water 1 hour

Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt using a large heavy knife.

Whisk together garlic paste, lemon juice, and pepper in a large bowl, then whisk in oil, thyme, and rosemary until combined well. Put lamb in a large sealable bag, then add 3/4 cup herb marinade and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate lamb, chilled, at least 6 hours or up to 8. Reserve remaining marinade, covered and chilled.

About an hour before grilling, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut diagonally crosswise, alternating direction with each cut, to create triangle shapes. Put zucchini in another large sealable bag, then pour reserved marinade over zucchini and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate zucchini at room temperature 1 hour. (Marinating zucchini any longer will result in a mushy texture.)

Prepare grill for cooking over direct heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderately high heat for gas); see "Grilling Procedure."
While grill is heating, drain lamb,
discarding marinade,
then thread cubes 1/4 inch apart onto 8 skewers.

Transfer zucchini to a bowl, reserving marinade, and thread zucchini onto 4 skewers (without lamb).

Thread tomatoes onto remaining 4 skewers.Lightly oil grill rack and grill kebabs (covered only if using gas grill),
turning occasionally, until tomatoes are softened but not falling apart, 2 to 3 minutes;
zucchini is tender, 4 to 6 minutes;
and lamb is medium-rare, about 6 minutes.

Serve kebabs drizzled with reserved marinade (from zucchini).

Cooks' note:
If you can't grill outdoors, kebabs can be cooked in batches on a lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.
Grill vegetables first, cooking until tomatoes are softened but not falling apart, 6 to 8 minutes, and zucchini is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a shallow baking pan as grilled and keep warm in a 200°F oven while grilling lamb until medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes.

~ Love You Forever ~

Xaby-Sweetah sleeping..
Taken By G-Man.










A mother held her new baby
and very slowly rocked him back and forth,
back and forth, back and forth.
And while she held him, she sang:

I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.

The baby grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was two years old, and he ran all around the house. He pulled all the books off the shelves. He pulled all the food out of the refrigerator and he took his mother's watch and flushed it down the toilet. Sometimes his mother would say, 'This kid is driving me CRAZY!'

But at night time, when that two-year-old was quiet, she opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor, looked up over the side of his bed; and if he was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.

The little boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. he grew until he was nine years old. And he never wanted to come in for dinner, he never wanted to take a bath, and when grandma visited he always said bad words. Sometimes his mother wanted to sell him to the zoo!

But at night time, when he was asleep, the mother quietly opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep, she picked up that nine-year-old boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.

The boy grew. he grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a teenager. He had strange friends and he wore strange clothes and he listened to strange music. Sometimes the mother felt like she was in a zoo!

But at night time, when that teenager was asleep, the mother opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep she picked up that great big boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.

That teenager grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a grown-up man. He left home and got a house across town.

But sometimes on dark nights the mother got into her car and drove across town. If all the lights in her son's house were out, she opened his bedroom window, crawled across the floor, and looked up over the side of his bed. If that great big man was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.

Well, that mother, she got older. She got older and older and older. One day she called up her son and said, "You better come see because I'm very old and sick." So her son came to see her. When he came in the door she tried to sing the song. She sang:

I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always....

But she couldn't finish because she was too old and sick.

The son went to his mother. He picked her up and rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And he sang this song:

I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
My Mommy you'll be.


When the son came home that night, he stood for a long time at the top of the stairs. Then he went into the room where his very new baby daughter was sleeping.

He picked her up in his arms and very slowly rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while he rocked her he sang:

I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.

Hangover

Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after
attending his company's Christmas
Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the
drinks didn't taste like
alcohol at all. He didn't even remember how he
got home from the party.

As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did
something wrong. Jack had to
force himself to open his eyes, and the first
thing he sees is a couple of
aspirins next to a glass of water on the side
table. And, next to them, a
single red rose.

Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of
him, all clean and pressed.
He looks around the room and sees that it is in
perfect order, spotlessly
clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the
aspirins, cringes when he
sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the
bathroom mirror. Then
he notices a note hanging on the corner of the
mirror written in red with
little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife
in lipstick.

'Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early
to go get groceries to make
you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you,
darling.' He stumbles to the
kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast,
steaming hot coffee and the
morning newspaper. His son is also at the table
eating. Jack asks,
'Son. what happened last night?'

'Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out
of your mind. You fell over
the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked
in the hallway, and got
that black eye when you ran into the door.

Confused he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order, so clean, I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?"His son replies, "Oh THAT!... Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when shetried to take your pants off, you screamed, "Leave me alone, lady, I'mmarried!"Broken Coffee Table $39.99Hot Breakfast $4.20Two Aspirins $.38Saying the right thing at the right time . .
