ok, i vowed i would never do this, but in my continuing mission to make the world a better place, i sometimes take it upon myself to expose and find the cure for abject stupidity.
so, one day, i wander into my living room and am introduced via a matt lauer special to a politician known as Larry Craig.
now, i preface the following with this statement:
I AM IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM MAKING A POLITICAL STATEMENT, OR A STATEMENT INVOLVING ANYONE'S SEXUAL PREFERENCE.
im just pointing out idiocy.
so, the story is as follows,
this dude, goes into a bathroom, some shenanigans occur, dude gets arrested for soliciting sex with an undercover officer.
now, my first issue instantly pops into my psyche
1) ANY GUY KNOWS THE BATHROOM RULES!
they are unwritten, and all of us know them, some of them include, no eye contact or any form of communication with another gentleman whilst in the restroom, no looking between stalls, AND most of all, KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF!
so, ok, dude proceeds to get booked, fingerprinted, and proccessed...all without a lawyer
WHAT!? are you serious?
2) as soon as i see a badge and some cuffs, im screaming for counsel. (especially if im innocent)
anyway, for sake of time, 3 months passes and this dude doesnt call a lawyer, talk to a lawyer, talk to God, or his wife, NOBODY?? sounds suspicious. so the prosecutor contacts him, and wonders of wonders he pleads guilty...
ok, i understand that, a guilty plea, maybe his conscience struck him and he realized the error of his ways... so he did it.
or did he?
fast forward to like a couple of weeks ago, the story becomes public, and mr craig seems to have a change of heart. he is now innocent.
I KNOW!!!! first he's guilty when nobody's looking, but now he's innocent when everybody's paying attention??? what? dude, seriously, you cant have it both ways! he tried to get the conviction overturned, and (thankfully) failed. but i just dont get it, he plead guilty three months after the incident, but now that everyone knows what happened, he wants a "chance to defend himself" (<-- his words)
stupid
moral of the story:
follow the rules in the bathroom
and DONT PLEAD GUILTY IF YOU DIDN'T DO IT!
and this dude is helping run the country
america the beautiful

There are many times where I've been in a bathroom with men who don't observe the "bathroom rules." I've been winked at, saluted, and attempted hand shaking. Needless to say the only shaking that occurred in that bathroom was after I finished urinating.
