This week America went into perve-overdrive!  Perves invaded our schools, our computers and televisions, even the hallowed halls of the Capitol!  But it turns out perviness rubs off on everything and everyone it touches.  The perves who get off on perving perves are starting to get as creepy as the perves they're perving!  "Perverted Justice," indeed!

1) School invasions, assassinations, and student gunplay (like this, and this, and this) — it's getting old, peeps.

2) Youth-perve hook-ups on myspace.com that lead to aggravated sodomy and false imprisonment— very original.

3) Youth abductees as poster-kids for cellular phone companies.

4) Pervy politicians:



5) "Perverted Justice" (aka "PeeJ") and To Catch a Predator on Dateline NBC.  This is starting to get confusing.  I feel like a perv perving the perv-police perving the perves.  If that Chris Hansen weren't so darned cute I could just turn it off!  
   
6) MySpace.com — obviously the root of all evil.  Somebody put an end to it, already.

7) Luxury Living.

8) The Station Nightclub Fire trial.  A terrible tragedy.  Time to move on.  The Judge did the right thing.

9) Victim Impact Statements, a leftover from medieval English Common Law that has come back with a vengeance to Jerry-Springerize the US criminal court system.

10) K-Heal's Balance-of-Power argument in favor of a Republican Governor for Massachusetts.  Only an effective executive—regardless of party—can even hope to combat the various and sundry local interests that dictate legislators' agendas. This race pits an untested but promising Democrat against a Republican from an administration with a proven record of failure.  The current Republican executive's personal inability to govern effectively has not provided a balance to a Democratic legislature.   

And this week's Weekly Purge BONUS PURGE: Animated feature films featuring farting animals. No, for the last time, I won't pull your freakin paw!
