DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- A mother was convicted Friday of killing her month-old daughter by burning her in a microwave oven, with jurors rejecting a defense attorney's claims there was evidence that someone else was responsible. China Arnold, 28, showed no reaction when the jury's verdict was announced and then lowered her head, looking down at the defense table. Relatives in the courtroom cried and covered their faces with their hands.

She was found guilty of aggravated murder and faces the death penalty when sentenced.

Arnold was accused of killing daughter Paris Talley in 2005. A judge declared a mistrial in February, and the retrial began August 18.

Jury deliberations started Thursday following closing arguments.

Prosecutors said Arnold intentionally put her baby in the microwave oven and cooked the child to death after a fight with her boyfriend.

Arnolds' cell mate testified that Arnold confessed to putting the baby in the microwave and turned it on because she was worried her boyfriend would leave her if he found out the child wasn't his.

The baby's DNA was found inside the microwave in Arnold's apartment, prosecutors said.

Defense attorney Jon Paul Rion said there was evidence someone else was responsible.

He cited testimony from an 8-year-old boy who said he saw another boy walk into the kitchen of a nearby apartment with the baby, heard the microwave go on, and then later saw the burned baby in the microwave.

Judge John Kessler declared a mistrial February 11 after he privately heard testimony from the juvenile.

In rebuttal, however, the 8-year-old's mother testified Wednesday that they lived some distance away and they were not at Arnold's apartment complex when the baby died.

Her former live-in boyfriend also testified that he was certain the boy was not at the location.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- A longtime sex offender was sentenced to death Wednesday for the 2005 kidnapping, torture and murder of a 9-year-old northern Idaho boy after federal jurors who watched video of some of the brutality deliberated just three hours. The jurors' recommendation was binding on U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge, who thanked them, dismissed them and then sentenced Joseph Edward Duncan III.

Relatives of the victim, Dylan Groene, remained somber as the jury's decision was announced. Duncan murdered Dylan's mother, older brother and his mother's fiance to kidnap him and his younger sister, who was sexually abused along with her brother but survived.

"The jury speaks the mind of the community," U.S. Attorney Tom Moss said. "By the verdict today, they have given voice to the victims."

Duncan showed no reaction other than smiling as the verdict was passed to the judge.

He took Dylan and the boy's then-8-year-old sister, Shasta, to a remote western Montana campsite where he raped, tortured and threatened them before shooting Dylan in the head and burning his body. Jurors viewed horrifying video Duncan made of him sexually abusing, torturing and hanging Dylan until the boy lost consciousness.

"This defendant is dangerous. He is a predator who takes pride in his work," prosecutor Traci Whelan said. "He earned this day. His actions ... call out for the death penalty."

Duncan acted as his own attorney but had offered no response to prosecutors' closing argument.

"I have no argument," he told the court.

With an eye toward kidnapping the two children, Duncan stalked their family. In 2005 he entered their Coeur d'Alene-area home and used a hammer to fatally bludgeon their 13-year-old brother, Slade Groene, his mother, Brenda Groene, and her fiance, Mark McKenzie.

Duncan was arrested and Shasta rescued weeks after the kidnappings when a waitress at a Denny's in Coeur d'Alene called police after recognizing the two as they ate.

Duncan pleaded guilty in December to 10 federal charges involving the kidnappings and the murder of Dylan. He pleaded guilty to the other three murders in state court, where he also could be sentenced to death.

"I am so glad this is over. Justice has been served," said Darlene Torres, Brenda Groene's mother. "It's been very painful."

She said that when she saw Duncan in court, "I seen nothing but an evil, empty, coldhearted shell."

In closing arguments, Whelan reminded the jury of Duncan's lifelong "pattern of violence," including a conviction for raping a boy at gunpoint in 1980. Duncan has told investigators he killed two half-sisters from Seattle in 1996, and he is charged with killing a young boy in Riverside County, California, in 1997.

Duncan may now be brought to Riverside County to stand trial in the death of Anthony Martinez.

Whelan told the jury that Duncan would pose a risk even to prison guards and fellow inmates.

"This defendant uses the time that he has to think out these plans and he is dangerous," she said. "He is adaptable and he is dangerous."

The heinousness of the evidence in Dylan's murder made it particularly difficult for the jurors to remain impartial as they deliberate, said Art Patterson, a jury consultant and senior vice president of the trial consulting firm DecisionQuest.

"Generally, for human beings, it's pretty hard to maintain impartiality when confronted with such horror," Patterson said.

"How could any juror not want to see this person removed from our list of living human beings? How could you live with yourself as a juror if there's any chance this human being could escape from jail and do something like this again?" Patterson said.

Straight off; This author believes strongly in Capital Punishment. What is more insidious than the crimes against children?

On Wednesday, June 25, 2008 The United States Supreme Court in their "infinite wisdom" that child rapists cannot be given the much deserving death penalty and thus, reserving the punishment only for murderers. Before hand, there were six states that reserved the death penalty for these kinds of vile creatures that feeds on humanity's most innocent.

Personally, I believe it's high time for the American public to speak out and force federal legislation to rectify this law making the rapists of children, and for that matter, all rape with the exclusions of litigating circumstances, a death penalty. 

Also in saying this, we should work on expediting the processes of the sentencing, appeals, and the execution processes quickly. It is also obvious to this author that the United States is argumentatively, the freest nation in the world also has the biggest prison system in the world. Something is obviously, out of kilter with this. Is it the fault of the ACLU or something?

Sure, maybe, I mean, with some help, but ultimately, it rests squarely on the shoulders of the American citizen.

I chose these two latest criminal candidates worthy of "Old Sparky" or any other means of immediate death. I've been a proponent of the death penalty since I could remember.  Again, in saying so, what is more deserving than hideous crimes against our children?

In the course of my life, I talked in "one on one" discussions with many women and talking about the suffering, alienation, guilt, and unfathomable sorrow suffered from rape victims, victims of child abuse, I quickly came up with the conclusion of one certain and resounding truth: There are such things that are worse than death.

I have listened to all those who agree with me of the necessity of capital punishment, the death sentence, and or the extermination of the vile humans who commit such atrocities. In fairness, I also listened to those who are against these means. Still, I am staunchly for the death of child molesters, rapists, murderers, and of course, terrorists.

Strange thought entered my mind just now, "It would be easy for America to kill Osama Ben Laden so quickly, and though he and the likes of him are certainly worthy of the 'switch', why not terrorists against children too?"

Now, I am all for and support due process of law and all. Texas is one state that comes to mind real fast in the "Express Lane to the Executioner..." Florida is another top contender. Wreaking such crimes against our children is nothing but a horrid form of terror, nothing more, nothing less, and I say "Red on Positive, and Black on Negative -- Throw the damned Switch!"

From the Desk of a Demented Mind...

As a published author of the Chronicles of Caledon series, I freely admit that I have one hell of an imagination (to write about). The next thing that you are expeditiously drawing to a conclusion is, "Great, the fucker doesn't believe in Bigfoot, but he believes in Vampires?"

Well, you might be right, and of course, wrong. Let me explain, I don't believe in the traditional sense of vampires though I do however write about one and several of the likes in my series. I do believe in the fact of people who call themselves Vampires, you know, the Goth types, and that's cool. I will also admit that I find these folks fascinating and a lot in common, that is, with these Goth types -- Each to their own style and way of life.

I am rather torn though, I mean, what if you can be some sort of mystical, fanciful, supernatural creature, and what would that be?

Like I said, I am torn, I can't decide whither or not to be a Werewolf or a Vampire -- Could I be both?

I guess that's why I love movies like the "Blade Trilogy" and the "Underworld" stories. Shit, good old Kate could suck on my neck and a couple of other male gender parts on my anatomy anytime as long as I get to devour her!

No, what I am talking about is something a bit more than a Goth, something far more common, and unlike the Goths out here, these Vampires fucking suck, and they are, unfortunately, for real. I know when I begin to further explain, you'll find yourself nodding your head in agreement.

Let me give you a little backdrop. I know this woman who can easily be a traditional vampire, and she just may be good ole' Count Dracula's long lost bride that escaped being burnt, beheaded, impaled, or staked through the heart. Her name, whoops <radio edit> we'll call her Isabella Romanovski. She is actually a Russian, a very beautiful  Russian woman, a former model in the 1960's and she has a body of an 18 year old cheerleader -- She's in her 70's.

She lives up in a very secluded cabin, a very tech loaded with cameras, armor plated window shields that can come down and with all the other features, well with one control, the whole two story cabin is locked down and secured.

She has two very big Bull Mastics with a combined weight of way more than me. I'm a big guys! When I met her, her skin was a porcelain white as the finest china in Europe. Her eyes a hypnotic ocean of blue, and as about as deep.

Her hair is a soft glow of silver and white, tall, slender and firmly but slightly bouncy in all the right spots. She certainly knows full well of enticing a man with her feminine charms -- Most effective. Isabella claims that she was once married to a prominent doctor in the region and has been widowed for "many years..."

There is much more I can divulge, but I am savoring the details for my PhatomWorks project, so I won't, no, not here, not in the light of  day...

One thing that I will tell you folks, being around her I lost track of all sense of time, and that she is a "Day Walker" so my theories of being a true vampire in the traditional sense is challenged. However, some of the side effects is confusion of thought, and even articulating my thoughts around her is somewhat difficult, or impaired.

Also, and this leaves me to believe that she is certainly a vampire of sorts, least in the modern frame of things. I feel very drained and weak both emotionally, spiritually, and of course, physically. I won't give out her name or location, she would be a hard person to find since most of the folks around here has never seen her, and only a few people have heard only very little about her in the first place. Yes, she is surrounded by mystery and secrecies.

She keeps to herself for sure...

Enough about Isabella, except that I talked to a lady friend of mine here in Deadwood about her. She, like so many, never met this woman, but she knows the type with absolute certainty and told me under no uncertain terms that this "Isabella is nothing more than a feeder of energy, a vampire..." Julie, my friend, and could of been the next X-Mrs. Taylor, warned me in more detail.

Julie also informed me that I need to do some research about this type of vampire. I am certainly a believer of "these" types of vampires, after all, I met one!

In my research moved by my dear friend Julie, this is what I've found to be the "modern day" vampires if you would and these types have been around since the beginning of time. You may know them by another name, another label -- Nevertheless, whatever you call these types, their all the same, vampires!

An introduction to emotional vampires:

Emotional vampires come in various shapes and sizes. Despite the several sub-types, one factor that they all have in common is that you feel emotionally drained after spending time with them. Besides feeling drained, they often take up your time and in some cases money as well. Emotional vampires tend to run in families. If you encounter one, you will want to avoid it and their family members as well.

Some emotional vampires have money. Those with money often use their money as a lure to entice you into their power. Once you are caught in their power they will take the life out of you. In the case of those with money, they will use your desire for money and greed as a way of keeping you in their clutches. They will use not only money, but also drugs, sex, secrets and anything else to have something on you in order to keep you in their control. “You owe me...” is a frequently heard phrase coming from these types.

Some people use the term emotional vampires. Again, other terms used are "users" and "takers." We all often have a sense about these types although there are different names for them depending on our experiences with them.

What are the types of emotional vampires?:

The first type is the needy, helpless type. The needy persons often play the helpless role in an effort at getting you to take action. They often interact with a passive way of taking action. They "suggest" or "ask" for what they want from you.

Sometimes it is direct, sometimes it is indirect. Whether direct or indirect, they know what they want. For example, if they want a glass of tea. They may make a comment that they are thirsty, or ask you for a glass of tea directly. When I think of this type I often see those large eyed cats that often look so pitiful and helpless.

Another type is the depressed vampire. These are the ones that move slowly. Sometimes they make sounds of struggle as part of their routine. They make every day look like it is a struggle for them. These are easily recognized. They often say very negative things and seem to energize themselves by cutting down and talking about others.

They often have a long term frown on their face. When there is laughter it is often forced and almost a cackle rather than genuine belly-jostling laughter. Due to their extreme depressed mood, they often suck the life energy out of you and everything in the room. I have seen these types suck the life out of electric fans and other inanimate objects as well. You can feel these types when they enter a room.

The worst is the necrophilia type. This type is the depressed vampire on steroids. They take depression to a new low. This type does not enjoy life at all. They often talk about their losses, and surround themselves with somber music or even the lack of music. Music may even be somewhat of an annoyance to them, something like the light of day for the traditional vampires. In my brief studies of these types of vampires, those that have pets, the pets seemed downtrodden with an overburden feeling of dreadfulness and or hopelessness.

In the same studies, I found that there is a trait amongst them, the majority do not like common pets or refrain from having any at all -- Good for the pets, no animal should live under such dreadfulness.

Their rooms are often morgue like, with photos and mementos of life that no longer exists. They items they have reminded them of their losses rather than the happy times they may have experienced.

When they review their lives, they recall the mistakes, deaths and losses. They talk about death and how life itself is such a struggle. If you listen to them, there are often themes of "revenge" or talking about how people do not deserve things, envy in all others. It is this morbid aspect that separates them from the depressed type. Goths may look scary -- They enjoy their lives and friends greatly, but these types of persons actually do take the life and enjoyment of life out of you in a fucking hurry. In my opinion, there's no known drug to me that will bring you down quicker than the walking dead.

I also know in reflection, that these people do show some sort of "happiness" or "lightheartedness," though short lived by feeding upon the misfortunes in others around them. I even had a woman that claimed that she hates me because of my outward and enthusiastic humor and manner. I am just too strong for her to take down the light in me.

How to deal with them: (No Garlic May or May Not Work)

Based upon General Opinions of Others

1.) Set boundaries. Know ahead of time how far you will go with people. Do not let them violate your boundaries. When they hook you into a crisis, they often violate your boundaries or force you to compromise so that the guilt from compromising your values can be used as leverage against you.

2.) Pay attention to your gut feelings. If you gut tells you to stay away, listen to it. When you sense the draining of energy, do not ignore the sensation. The good Lord gave you those sensations in order to protect you from such types of people.

3.) Learn how to turn away from guilt. When you can not be hooked, they do not have any power over you. Remember they only have the power that you give them. The more you give into them, the stronger the hold they have on you. Don’t feel guilty if they have hurt feelings -- They usually don't have any and just a shallow deception.

4.) Surround yourself with life and lively things. Listen to lively music dress lively and so forth. Make it a point to enjoy life. Since emotional vampires avoid life and liveliness like the plague, use it to re-energize yourself and keep them away. Rather than garlic, the thing that keeps away these types of vampires is liveliness -- I use music as a weapon that feeds energy into my soul.

5.) Move a lot. Activities like dancing are invigorating. The despondency that often accompanies emotional vampires tends toward extreme passivity the antidote to that passivity is activity and lots of it.

What are their methods?:

It is not unusual for emotional vampires to be in crisis and have ways of "hooking" you into their crisis. Once hooked a kind of bonding takes place, you begin to feel like a victim. Since you went through a crisis with them, they expect you to stay with them. You may hear themes of how only you could understand them, or how only you can help them. There will be other comments of how you are the exception to miserable world in which they live -- Don't buy into there bullshit.

Besides crises, they often use crying episodes as another hook. The crying or threat of crying often creates guilt feelings in their victims.

True guilt occurs when you violate a moral principle or law. In dealing with them you have broken no law or principle, they want you to feel like you owe them something. Some family structures used guilt as a motivator in raising their children. Children raised in such homes are often more vulnerable to these emotional vampire types -- I know this from experience with my Wife who came from such a family as well as I did.

In Conclusion:

Isabella Romanovski didn't fit into any one category, she is another type altogether with some similarity. But she lead me to this interesting study just the same.

As much as I am attracted to the macabre, the creatures of the night, I love the light of things, laughter, friends, and being among the living, but then again, I have my moments.

From the Desk of the Demented...

Well, it looks like those two tree-banging hicks from Georgia that would have been a perfect match for a new revival or remake of "Deliverance"  -- "Boy, you sure do have a 'perdy' mouth..." than a couple of super-sleuth Bigfoot hunters.

As it turns out on the CNN video site, the "Bigfoot in the Box" was nothing more than a rubber suite. However, I called it first like many of you, "It's a fucking hoax!"

As I stated earlier in the past articles about this farce, the men responsible for this facade should be gut-shot in public with a high powered rifle and stuffed in the Ice box with a sing posted, "Here lies two dead hicks for fucking with Bigfoot." Not to mention, the general public.

Maybe Bigfoot will be chilling out with his "tree-banging" babe in the murky backwaters of Hokum County, Georgia enjoying the news on TV while sipping a nice cold beer.

From the Desk of the Demented...

The last few days, and for me, the former last two, I've been blogging about the so-called find in Georgia about the latest Bigfoot Hoax. Perhaps I am jumping the gun a bit and labeling it all and putting it down as exactly that, a fucking hoax.  When you listen to these two country bumpkins, you got to come to the stark realization that these two men are far from the sharpest tool in the shed.

As much as I like to believe that there is a great ape living in America, living in the wild for a millennium skirting on the edge of a mythological legend, well, then we get more of these bozos ruining it for those who have the time to waste in trying to find scientific evidence into proving that this creature may exist. Needless to say, only the truly faithful still hope. I am not the "truly faithful" by any stretch of the imagination. I am for the record, certainly not a zealot neither.

In scanning across the massive expanse of the Internet looking for more proof into this latest case of the Bigfoot saga, I of course, came up short -- To be expected.

People believe in general of all kinds of shit, some quite crazy, and some totally dangerous. You may have read my piece within this blog of my latest encounter with a "Christian." This Christian is a friend of mine, she lives up to my expectations of what a Christian believes and therefore conducts her life in a so-called godly way.

She lives by a selective perception of the 10 Commandments and she practically lives somewhat successful in this way of life. She doesn't watch any show or movie that is beyond the "PG" rating. She believes that Rock music and Heavy Metal is nothing more than "Satan's Work." She goes to church every Wednesday and Sunday, she loathes cursing and perverted thought. She thinks smoking is one of the deadly sins -- Nowhere in the Bible does it say that it is, and when I ask her about it, she says, "Well God didn't know or understand what the invention of tobacco would later cause..." Okay, so "God doesn't know about a good many things then.

I remember the look on her face, "Oh dear Doug, God knows everything..." All said in the same conversation. She also has been known for sleeping around with other men quite often, though she is married. Her weakness is men with a stiff...

You get the point, least she does quite often. least so I'm told, and did I say that she is married?

Hey nobody's perfect and we all know religious people who call themselves Christians and do things like this. Listen, I don't mean to pick on her, and I don't care if she has a mouth full of ordained cock on the alter or takes it up the ass by her pastor -- Least she is over 21 and a female, so I know that she isn't a Catholic.

Nothing bad against Catholics, but of late, aren't they, the priests into child pornography and having sex with young boys -- You know sodomizing the young lads of your congregation?

Besides, I once knew a very popular preacher in Great Falls, Montana that used to fist-fuck and gang-bang a former stripper after the Sunday Night Service in the men's locker room at his youth center. When they were caught, three pastors shoving their peckers in any available orifice of this woman that later they claimed that it was the Devil in her that caused them to do this. The woman was later banned and excommunicated from the grounds of the church -- Bad Satan, bad.

What about these men of God that were barnyard fucking this broad and treating her like a small domesticated farm animal?

Two of them lost their jobs, yup, I said jobs, and the head pastor that started it all was later dismissed and then hired back on leading the church and only again to be found sticking his religious cock in her accommodating back-door when some of the elders accidentally walked in on a board meeting that he forgot about. Yes, anal sex is still a sexual act, Padre!

Again, this woman was banned from Church, but not the Pastor's office, evidently...

Hey, I'm not against a good piece of tight ass, who isn't? Nonetheless, please Pastor, pass the Astro-glide!

Christianity, and all the rest of the organized religions are nothing more than a sham, a tax exempt fucking sham, and that goes for Scientology and all the flavors thereof. Did I say that I used to be a Christian once upon a time, and an ordained minister to boot  -- Yet, I never stuck my fat cock into something that I should not before, during, and thus far, afterwards -- I guess I just wasn't a very good minister then.

None of these people are what I call the "American Taliban." No, the American Taliban is something more devious, more subversive, more diabolical and nefarious. The fascist minded zealots that are into breaking you down to nothing and building you back up in their design, having sex with many children and marrying them off to old men who take their communion with holy water and viagra. We all have heard in the news about the American Taliban and stories of pastors of super or mega-churches fucking thousands of mindless dweebs known as sheep one way or another, right?

"I want you to stretch high towards God and reach deep into your pocket books. The pastor has received word from God that he needs a new two-door Cadillac, and his (fucking whore of a) wife needs a boob-job."

Pastor John Hagee, let's talk about this fat little man of God from Texas, I'm fat too, so I can say this without any reservations. I used to love watching him back in my Christian days -- This is what this outstanding member of the American Taliban said about the New Orleans' disaster when (God put on his whirlwind suite as) Katrina came into town, and mind you, this what happens when these leaders are held unaccountable to think on their own -- Remember, God speaks to them directly and never through you -- Least that's what they'll tell you.

Yes, all on their own without any help from rational thought or reality when it comes to "curses" in the case of the 2005 statement from this man of God (whose endorsement was solicited and received by presidential hopeful John McCain) blamed Hurricane Katrina on God's wrath for a gay parade that had been scheduled for the Monday of the storm's arrival:

"I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they are — were recipients of the judgment of God for that..."

The religious troll isn't the only asshole in the cloth that said or believes this. Don't believe me, shit, just go and buy his latest venue of books -- In Jesus Name!

What's really the fucking shame of this is that there are many non-critical thinking piss-poor Christians who first, believe the likes of this little (minded) man, and secondly, defend his way of thinking.

Who knows, maybe Bigfoot is real and God does really hate all kinds of people, whiter they sin or not?

Do you suppose God hates me then?

I mean, I am not gay, I have a couple of friends that are gay, lesbians, and a whole host of sins -- Will a tornado come into Deadwood where we have gambling and such, I mean all kinds of hellish and henotheistic ways.

No, God doesn't hate anyone. The Christians and other monolithically based faith believes there is only one God. Can't be. I mean, no fucking way. The schizophrenic and social-psychopathic characteristics mindset of the Old and New Testament God is anything but loving and carrying.

According to the Old Testament teachings, the Philistines were a race created by God for him to hate (1st and 2nd Samuel) and this so-called same God also preferred a certain race of people over another. "First the Jews and then the Gentiles..." (Pick any Gospel.)

Moses began a blood cult, enslaved and raped young girls while saying this is the work of God, ordained by God to do so. Deuteronomy.

Christianity still today enslaves the mind, torments the human soul, and some sects still rape the innocent. Strong statement, I am certain of it. But I have the truth and the media to give any of the Lord's sheep plenty of proof.

Nope, the more you study, research the history of the Bible and who really wrote it and when, the more you quickly come up that Christianity and for that matter, Judaism is nothing more than stories predicated on previous or older religions and the mythological predecessors before it. 

Again, I digress...

No, you cannot be a Christian and believe in things like Bigfoot, ghosts, and anything else because there was a study done in a 2004 survey conducted by Baylor that finds just the opposite -- and for those in Gaming in Deadwood, well we're all gonna go to hell in a hurry!

Another study, of 391 U.S. college students done in 2000, found that participants who did not believe in Protestant doctrine were most likely to believe in reincarnation, contact with the dead, UFOs, telepathy, prophecy, psychokinesis, or healing. Believers were the least likely to buy into the paranormal. "This may partly reflect opinions of Christians in the samples who take biblical sanctions against many 'paranormal' activities seriously," the Wheaton College researchers wrote.

Let's examine this a little closer, in a 2002 study in Canada did find a correlation between religious beliefs and paranormal beliefs, Cronk notes. He figures that among other explanations, Canadians may not have the same belief systems as U.S. residents.

"My guess is that religiosity has a lot to do with how you were raised, and less to do with genetics," Cronk said. "Those people who may have a high genetic susceptibility to 'faith-based knowledge' may end up being highly religious or may end up having belief in the paranormal depending on how they were raised. Those people less susceptible to that method of forming beliefs may still end up being highly religious if they were raised in a religious family."

Religion vs. paranormal

Mencken, the Baylor sociologist, says sacrifice and stigma (for holding ideas outside the group norm) keep the paranormal at bay among the highly religious. He has two papers forthcoming that are based on a national survey of 1,700 people.

The first, to be published in the journal Sociology of Religion in 2009, reveals this:

"Among Christians, those who attend church very often (and are exposed to stigma and sacrifice within their congregations) are least likely to believe in the paranormal," Mencken told LiveScience. "Conversely, those Christians who do not attend church very often (maybe once or twice a year) are the most likely to hold paranormal beliefs."

A third group, which he calls naturalists, do not hold supernatural views, Christian or paranormal.

Another study to published in December in the Review of Religious Research, shows that those who go to church "are much less likely to consult horoscopes, visit psychics, purchase New Age items," and so on, Mencken said. "However, among those Christians who do not attend church, there is a much higher level of participation in these phenomena."

Profiling the typical Bigfoot believer turns out to be as challenging as determining the scientific methodology of a psychic, however.

"Perhaps amazingly, [paranormal beliefs] are not related at all to education," Stark said. "Ph.D.s are as likely as high school dropouts to believe in Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, ghosts, etc."

The 2006 study of college students, done by Bryan Farha at Oklahoma City University and Gary Steward Jr. of the University of Central Oklahoma, reached a similar conclusion. Belief in the paranormal — from astrology to communicating with the dead — increases during college, rising from 23 percent among freshmen to 31 percent in seniors and 34 percent among graduate students.

Bader, the sociologist at Baylor, and his colleagues teamed up with the Gallup organization to conduct a national survey of 1,721 people in 2005 and found nearly 30 percent think it is possible to influence the physical world through the mind alone (another 30 percent were undecided on that point). More than 20 percent figure it's possible to communicate with the dead. Nearly 40 percent believe in haunted houses.

Asked if "creatures such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster will one day be discovered by science," 18.8 percent agreed while 25.9 percent were undecided.

In a remote Himalayan village, on the other hand, belief in Bigfoot's cousin, the yeti, is seen by some as a sign of ignorance.

Media-Mania

Today's ubiquitous and often one-sided, promotional coverage of the paranormal, both on the Internet and TV, perpetuate myths and folklore as well or better than any ancient storyteller. Fiction and belief masquerade as fact and news, feeding the 24/7 appetite of the easily swayed.

Scientists are left with an impossible task: proving something does not exist. You can prove a rock is there. You can't prove that Bigfoot or a ghost or the god of thunder is not there. Bigfoot paraphernalia purveyors and cash-cow psychics know this well -- Fucking trust me in saying this, they certainly do.

Hey, I believe in ghosts, and damned it, looks like I'm going to hell anyway because I believe in nothing that the so-called book has to say about God. Do a psycho-analysis of God and you'll find out very quickly that the Christian God isn't worth a solid good goddamn anyhow, nor is his bastard son Jesus and the spook in the bed sheet called the Holy Ghost -- Yet they don't believe in Ghosts, whatta 'bout the tale about King Saul waking the prophet Samuel up that was in the grave chumming with his fathers and when Jesus said to his boys, "...For I am not a ghost..."

Oh fuck, now I'm confused. Maybe believing in Bigfoot isn't a bad thing after all. I mean Bigfoot wouldn't condemn me to hell for having a woman swallow my cock, and I certainly wouldn't have to give a priest a blowjob to gain entrance into the kingdom of God, would I?

If Bigfoot was the head of my church, would I be subject to have to give 10% of my earnings to the church, and what does God need with my measly shekels anyway?

Would Bigfoot insist that I read and live by a book, a manual, and a spokesperson only to speak to God anyway?

Shit, more questions to ask God Almighty who roams the hills and mountains in Georgia, Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, and elsewhere?

Fuck it, I'm not as easily swayed as others I guess -- I'll just stick with my own thoughts about God -- Christians need not apply...

From the Desk of the Demented Mind...

PALO ALTO, California - Bigfoot remains as elusive as ever.

Results from tests on genetic material from alleged remains of one of the mythical half-ape and half-human creatures, made public at a news conference on Friday held after the claimed discovery swept the Internet, failed to prove its existence.

Its spread was fueled by a photograph of a hairy heap, bearing a close resemblance to a shaggy full-body gorilla costume, stuffed into a container resembling a refrigerator.

One of the two samples of DNA said to prove the existence of the Bigfoot came from a human and the other was 96 percent from an opossum, according to Curt Nelson, a scientist at the University of Minnesota who performed the DNA analysis.

Bigfoot creatures are said to live in the forests of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. An opossum is a marsupial about the size of a house cat.

Results of the DNA tests were revealed in an e-mail from Nelson and distributed at the Palo Alto, California, news conference held by Tom Biscardi, host of a weekly online radio show about the Bigfoot.

Also present were Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, the two who say they discovered the Bigfoot corpse while hiking in the woods of northern Georgia. They also are co-owners of a company that offers Bigfoot merchandise.

Despite the dubious photo and the commercial interests of the alleged discoverers, the Bigfoot claim drew interest from Australia to Europe and even The New York Times.

Biscardi said the DNA samples may not have been taken correctly and may have been contaminated, and that he would proceed with an autopsy of the alleged Bigfoot remains, currently in a freezer at an undisclosed location.

As more news of this elaborate Hillbilly Hoax comes in, the so called "Doctor"  Paul Van Buren turns out to be Whitton's own brother, and not a doctor of nothing. The lies continues from these two hillbillies in their press conference on MSNBC.

I seriously doubt, as time progresses, the media and scientific community will no doubtfully further expose these idiots as just another sad hoax. Yes, this writer will go ahead and claim that this mythical Bigfoot creature is nothing more than a hoax, or it could be nothing more than a bad case of Georgia hillbilly inbreeding discovered.

Nevertheless, when the full truth comes out, these mother-fuckers from Georgia should stand to be gut shot by a high powered rifle as I mentioned in my earlier post. Fucking Hillbilly hokum.
