Stew of News - Commando, Caylee Anthony, Boyle

No more "going commando" in Florida city

A Florida city is cleaning up with a new dress code that requires city workers to wear underwear and use deodorant, AP reported Friday.

The city council in Brooksville recently approved a dress code that instructs employees to observe "strict personal hygiene" and prohibits exposed underwear, clothing with foul language, "sexually provocative" clothes and piercings anywhere except the ears.

Repeat offenders can be fired. (I would be sooo fired...if I didn't quit first.)

The city council approved the dress code in a 4-1 as part of a wider effort to update existing policies and ordinances. The one vote in opposition came from Mayor Joe Bernadini, who said the underwear edict "takes away freedom of choice."

"I voted against it. I think it takes away people's personal freedom in my opinion it insults their intelligence a little bit," he said, according to a First Coast News report.

Judge allows release of Caylee's autopsy report

An Orange County judge decided Friday to allow the release of Caylee Anthony's autopsy report to the public, WFTV Channel 9 reported.

At a court hearing, George and Cindy Anthony did not get the answer they wanted. George was emotional as he spoke to Judge Stan Strickland to try to convince him not to release his granddaughter's autopsy report.

"Please show us some peace and some dignity by keeping this report sealed," he said fighting tears.

The Anthonys said releasing the report would cause them even more anguish and are afraid that the results will be exploited. (Frankly, I read the report and I don't see how it would increase their anguish nor how it would be exploited.)

"This last year has been an emotional strain for our entire family," George said. "The protection of our family's rights and privacy and emotional well-being, has been tossed aside over and over again." (It's a murder investigation. Shouldn't they get that by now?)

On June 10, their attorney, Brad Conway, filed a motion to block Caylee's autopsy result findings claiming that publicizing the report would cause endless speculation. At the time, Judge Strickland ordered a stay on the release of the findings.

WFTV Legal Analyst Bill Sheaffer Caylee's grandparents had no legal standing in the case to ask the judge to seal the public record and said there was no legal basis for their argument."Unless there's a legal basis other than emotional distress, which is not a legal basis, this judge will not block the release of this public document," Sheaffer explained.

Casey, 23, is in the Orange County jail facing first-degree murder. She is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.

Susan Boyle continues to skip performances

Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle has scrapped two more appearances on the show's U.K. tour, skipping last night's performance in Liverpool and today's show in Cardiff, Wales.

The singer's publicist said decisions on whether Boyle performed were taken on a day-by-day basis, BBC reported.

"She would love to be able to perform every single evening but she is aware of what she can and can't do," her publicist said in a statement. "I feel sorry for her because she doesn't want to let people down but also she needs to have a rest."

The rep took pains to shoot down British tabloid reports claiming Boyle was a no-show because she was hysterical and homesick for her cat, Pebbles.

Boyle, 48, has cancelled three other performances, nine dates into the tour. Britain's Got Talent stars are due to perform 25 times during the show's run, BBC reported.

She previously scrapped matinee and evening performances last Sunday in Manchester, provoking boos from the audience when a video montage was shown in lieu of her live renditions of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables and "Memory" from Cats. Boyle has also cancelled two performances at the Manchester MEN Arena last Sunday and one in Liverpool on Thursday, BBC reported.

She did rally for performances in Birmingham and her native Scotland, getting rousing ovations from crowds in Edinburgh and Glasgow earlier this week.

The trek wraps up July 5, and, if she's well enough, judge Piers Morgan has invited her to pop in on the fourth season of the U.S. edition of America's Got Talent, kicking off Tuesday on NBC.

The singer was treated for exhaustion at The Priory in London after the show that made her famous wrapped up.

Evidently, something's wrong. It's hard to imagine someone getting severely tired from singing one or two songs per show--that's all she has to do. It's something else.

I think her body, to which her thoughts and emotions are inexorably linked, simply is not equipped for the limelight and the brutal UK tabloids. If she were younger, one could expect her to just get used to it. Nevertheless, I'm optimistic because there are some powerful people nearby who want to help her.

Sick Fuck of the Week

This week another scumbag was arrested for killing his family--his entire family--so I think it appropriate to bestow the Sick Fuck of the Week Award upon Christopher Coleman.

The Coleman Murders

Chris Coleman, 32, an ex-marine who worked as security for Joyce Meyer Ministries, planned and executed the murders of his 31-year-old wife, Sheri, and two sons, Gavin, 9, and Garett, 11, by ligature strangulation in Columbia, Ill, on May 5.

WTF is wrong with these people?

How do you choke your kids to death? What in the name of god--with whom Coleman, reportedly, had a tight relationship given his job--was going through his mind? How--somebody please explain it to me--how in the world did he think he could get away with it? Are people that dumb?

Imagine what the wife's family is enduring. This man they thought they knew. This man they welcomed to their family. A cold-blooded murderer. Unthinkable.

What about Joyce Meyer and her team? That's just what they needed: an adulterer who also turned out to a murderer of the worst kind. Surely it's the devil's fault. They must be praying overtime over there, and I can't blame them.

So Coleman gets arrested and pleads "not guilty." How shocking. God forbid someone in this country takes responsibility for his or her actions...now, that would be news.

I'd like to know what his parents are thinking. Are they going to stand by him because "he's our son"? Would you? Would I? Can anyone truly forgive him? Nothing much has been said about the parents, which brings me to the Anthony's...


Killer Totmom

George and Cindy Anthony continue sailing up and down the Nile...either that or they're committed to do and say whatever it takes to protect and defend daughter Casey, a.k.a. Totmom, 22, who's awaiting trial for the murder of her almost 3-year-old daughter, Caylee.

I knew Caylee was dead the minute news spread about the 911 call Cindy made in July after finding out that her granddaughter had been missing for a month. I just knew she was buried under pile of wet leaves in a heavily vegetated area. And indeed, she was.

As the plot thickens, it turns out Casey, Sick Fuck of the Week for more weeks that I can count, is more of a psychopath than initially suspected. Just her lack of distress about the disappearance of her daughter is enough in my book. Add to that the endless string of lies.

One of my theories is that she went out partying and used chloroform to keep the kid quiet in the car. But she ended up killing her with excess chloroform or asphyxiated by a stuffy nose and duck tape over the mouth meant to keep her quiet. Yet, this theory does not explain the break-necking searches Casey did on the Internet, which show an intent to kill.

And that's the question that grips me: why. Why kill her kid? For what? How would she profit from it? What was there to be gained by ending her life? Was Totmom planning on extorting money out of her parents with a bogus kidnapping scenario? We haven't heard anything about she asking for money to give the alleged "kidnappers"--have we? This is one bizarre case...

Talking about bizarre, what's up with Casey's brother Lee? First he gives a fucked up speech during Caylee's memorial service that was full of Casey and totally devoid of Caylee. Dude, it's your niece's service! She died a horrible death and you're stuck on your sister? WTF?! Then came his deposition in the civil suit Zanny the Nanny filed against the Anthony's for slander and messing up her life. His testimony is disturbing at best. Lee is seen joking around, laughing out loud, having a good old time. The craziest part is how while he's revealing all the lies Casey has told him, he's also saying that "to this day [he] believe[s] everything [my] sister tells [me]." Uh...hello?

I suppose there's only so much trauma a person can take, and perhaps losing Caylee to a horrible death and Casey to the justice system is too much for Cindy and George. I just don't see how anyone--anyone--could believe all of the stories Casey has fed the Police and her family since day one. One would have to put common sense on hold to believe such crap.

Talking about crap reminds me of another sick fuck.


The abominable Melissa Huckaby

In late March, Huckaby, 28, took 8-year-old Sandra Cantu, drugged her, raped her with a foreign object, killed her, stuffed her in a suitcase and dumped her in an irrigation pond nearby.

And get this: This piece of trash was a Sunday School teacher and the granddaughter of a Baptist pastor. Another church-going sociopath. What Book are they reading? Who's Word are they following?

Since her arrest in April, the authorities have discovered that Huckaby was no newbie to depravation. Not long before she assaulted and killed Sandra, she took a 7-year-old girl and drugged her. This one, she didn't kill.

What compels a person to do something like this? Is it due to some sort of malfunction somewhere in the brain? Or is it just plain evil? And does evil even exist? Nowadays any and every behavior seems to be explainable by a psychiatric condition. Can someone please explain it to me? Are the people who commit these heinous crimes sick or evil?

So far, these three characters are neck and neck for the Sick Fuck of the Year award, but for this week the trophy goes to Coleman.
