Yeah, the guy who tweeted this isn't allowed to use the Secret Service twitter account any more.

So, here's the story.

This woman in California claimed she injected her 8-year old child with Botox so she would do better in beauty pageants.

Not so surprisingly, California Child Protective Services removed the girl from the home.

Now, the woman is claiming that she made the whole thing up.

The reporter who originally covered the story back in March says that's a load of shit.

Regardless, there's two "WHAT THE FUCK?" moments here?

WHAT THE FUCK #1: Who the fuck would even think that injecting an 8-year old with Botox is a good idea and should be shared with the world?

WHAT THE FUCK #2: If you aren't actually doing it, why in the name of fuck would you lie about such a thing?

So, tomorrow is "Rapture Day"

Apparently, the Rapture isn't supposed to happen until 6 p.m., although whether that's local time or what, I haven't a clue. I'm going to be asleep then anyway (after a difficult morning of being a fake Jesus), so ehhh.

But since it's not actually going to happen, it doesn't matter.

Here's a question, though. What is Harold Camping (aka the nutter who started this mess), going to tell his followers/listeners on the 22nd? I mean, assuming he doesn't just drop the microphone during the broadcast, pretend to be raptured, and flee the country to someplace sunny and warm, where brown-skinned beauties will ignore his age and decrepitude given enough financial incentive? (Actually, that's not fair to the brown-skinned beauties. I'm not sure Camping has enough money to entice them.)

But what (if anything) will he say? "I'm sorry, I was wrong?" Don't hold your breath waiting for that one to happen.

"My calculations were off, the Rapture is X many days/months away!" Possible, but it still leaves the admission of error.

"Only those in true need were saved. The Lord Jesus Christ wants me to minister to the rest of you until the end comes." I figure it's going to be something like that. I mean, if the head of the Family Radio Network doesn't disappear in a giant whooshing sound and an aura of light, he's got to have some sort of explanation ready.

"Why wasn't I Raptured? Oh wait, the Tijuana hookers and the dead nun stuffed full of heroin. I thought I apologized for that, O Lord." Heh. It would be amusing as hell to find out that Camping listed all of his sins when he doesn't find himself at the right hand of God, but I don't see him cracking like that.

Funny to think about, though.

Oh yes...

as I mentioned elsewhere, I won't be a bit surprised if someone (or more then one someone) attempts to get away with murder under the cover of "the Rapture".

I mean, let's face it... if there are people dumb enough to believe Harold Camping's bullshit about it being tomorrow, then there are people dumb enough to think that "the ex-wife was Raptured, officer, honest" would stand a chance in hell (no pun intended) of working.

Damn.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage is dead, from a heart attack suffered while driving.

Man, he was one of the more colorful characters in pro-wrestling, when I started watching it years and years ago.
