1 out of 5

Pretty startling statistic, if you ask me. One out of five children here in The Sandbox have been xesually abused. What are statistics for xesual abuse in other parts of the world? The United States? Maybe I'll research it later. I won't be working, today. Dust storm. And it is a nasty one! "A study carried out by Dr. Ali Al-Zahrani of Edinburgh University has shown that 22 percent of children in the Kingdom are exposed to xesual abuse." What?!! So, tell us again, how abuse doesn't happen here, and how this country is so far superior blah, blah, blah...

Oh, and keeping your mentally handicapped son in a cage is just wrong. Just wrong.

It is "Monday" here in The Sandbox. Not a lot going on in the news after the weekend.

I'm more interested in watching Nancy Pelosi self-implode with her statement that the CIA routinely gave false information to members of congress. This is going to be too much fun. We're gonna need popcorn for this. Big buckets of it. If she goes down - and she won't, without a fight - she is going to take a lot of people with her. Thank goodness for the blogsphere. We know most of this is not going to be covered by any outlets other than Fox [and I am soooo thankful that we have Fox News, here!].

  1. I was watching that over the weekend on Fox. So entertaining watching NP stumble, stammer and contradict herself.

  2. But if you cannot even type the name of the abuse then how can it really happen? These problems are only real if you notice them. Please, step this way: have you met mrs beautiful morals? and our lovely kids?
