Daniel Gabriel Watson, Murderer

[YouTube link]

Hard to imagine someone killing their newlywed spouse on their honeymoon, but that is exactly what this creep did.

When I first heard this story in 2003, I thought it must've been an accident but no, it wasn't. They were on their honeymoon in Australia and were on a dive at the Great Barrier Reef. He swam to the boat to seek "help" although he had training as a rescuer himself. He had left his wife of eleven days on the bottom of the ocean. No better love, huh. Gabe didn't realize that another diver had seen him giving his wife a bear hug (at which time he most likely turned her oxygen off!) and letting her body drift to the bottom. Can you imagine being face to face with your new spouse and knowing that they were killing you? Why? Insurance money. How sad is that?

At first, he was allowed to come home (AL) but the case was not forgotten and finally, he was brought back to Australia for a trial. He pled guilty of not helping his wife and received FOUR years! Of that, He'll only serve ONE year for murder which is really what it was. A trial could've brought him a life sentence--but one year?! He had to have planned this well ahead of the wedding. He had asked her to name him beneficiary of her life insurance and took out more insurance at the airport.

After she was buried, the flowers the family put on her grave kept disappearing so the father started bolting them down--they continued to disappear. The police put a camera in the cemetary and guess who was caught with a bolt cutter, removing them? The creepy husband!

He has already remarried--why do women marry men like this? (Drew Peterson, etc) He inherited her house and he and his "new" wife are living there. Just makes me want to barf!

I hope her family keeps up the pressure on him and they are shunned in their neighborhood.

Tina was just 26 years old.



Update" The Alabama AG has contacted the Australian authorities to review this case! Hopefully, Tina's family will get some justice after all.

When I see a photo like this, I always wonder about the soldier. What kind of horrible situations did he have to go through? And most importantly, did he make it home? They were so young!

I watched some actual film on PBS about the war and it made me cry for the men who were lost. What a horrible experience at such a tender age. At any age, really.

Remember to keep our troops in your prayers.

Baby Killer

The mother is the patient--the fetus is the PROBLEM.
George Tiller

I watched a graphic video abour Dr. Tiller's job. Hard to look at tiny humans torn into pieces. He did that everyday!

There was an attempted abortion where he missed the heart with an injection but managed to go through the head twice. The baby girl was born alive but blind. She lived for five years before dying from the attempted abortion.

I feel sorry for his family but I'm having trouble working up sympathy for him.

Is The Media in Love With BHO?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/31/AR2009053102079.html?nav=rss_opinion/columns

Well, D'uh!!

This is a good article about this very subject. It's sickening how much fawning goes on all the time!

Update: I didn't watch the love fest by NBC last night with Brian Williams and BHO. My stomach couldn't take it! I saw a video of Brian telling Barry good-night and instead of kissing him, he bowed his head while shaking his hand! Barf! I'm sure there was some intense looking into Barry's eyes. Oh, I made myself sick to my stomach!

Is everyone in the MSM gutless?

Family Ties That Bind

Barry's uncle has his own opinion about his upcoming trip to Buchenwald. He wouldn't mind going along but hasn't been invited. Guess the telepromters take up too much room!

He's the uncle that Barry said helped to liberate Buchenwald . Problem was, he never discussed it with said uncle or he would've known it was a subcamp that he helped liberate. Seems Barry's parents liked to embelish  stories they told. I guess you could also say after you lie about something, the truth gets lost. Anyway, they aren't close but do chat if they're in the same room.

And there's definitely no shame in liberating a smaller death camp. His descripotion of it is terrible, as expected. He did an interview for a German magazine. 

As Arte Johnson on Laugh-In used to say...veery interesting!

Memorial Day...A Time to Remember

Ding. Ding, Ding!

My site meter says I hit 50,000 yesterday! I'd like to thank all the little people--oh, wait, that would be me, myself and I! Thanks for coming by!

When I saw Prattville, I thought it was going to be Don but it was someone looking up a post about my trip to see "Yellow Mama" when she was still active!

Thanks, peeps!

JT on Survivor

When Survivor first started, I watched from beginning to end but after a few seasons, I lost interest. It may have been the gross things they had to eat or the fact that they had to wear the same clothes for ever how long they were where they were! Good thing we don't have smell-a-vision!

Lately, I have been watching sometimes and I got more interested when the cocky "coach" was voted off and I found out that JT was from Mobile, Alabama! He's in the final four and I hope he wins. Yeah, I root for the home team! (He's cute, too!) I assume from the ads that tonight is THE night when the winner wins so I know what I'll be doing tonight!
GO JT!

UPDATE: JT won 1 million dollars on the show and another $100,00 after being voted the most popular person on the show!

Way to go JT!

What's His Name?

That's what I thought I'd be asking you today!

I saw an actor on an Law & Order show Fri night and recognized his handsome face but couldn't recall his name! I knew he had played a doc on one of those shows but couldn't come up with that either. It was annoying me like crazy!

It seemed like his name was Chris, Clint or something like that. I could see his face but the name was not to be had!

I tried Googling tv docs and numerous other things. People would talk about Dr Welby, Dr Kildare, Dr Casey, etc, etc, but no mention of this guy! I thought I was doomed to never come up with his name when after a long time someone mentioned CHAD EVERETT! Finally, relief!

He's still a looker with his mostly gray hair!

After all of this, my son says oh, you should've just clicked on tv.com! My response was oh, if you value your life you better run away as fast as you can!! Smarty pants! ;)

Happy Mother's Day
