Show me the gruesome

We're usually not big on the gory over at SCOTUS: In fact, if a Freddy Kruger movie were ever appealed to us, I feel comfortable that the final disposition would be cert denied.

But, this issue is close enough to home that we're posting it anyways. Wisconsin State Senator Dave Hansen (D-30th) ran over his one year-old granddaughter with his car this morning. Our attention was piqued when well-known doofus Frank Lasee offered his condolences to Senator Hansen.

Applying law in action just like Howie told me to, I have a feeling this one was an accident: There are much better, and less messy, ways to kill off your toddler granddaughter if you really want to. Plus, Sen. Hansen doesn't seem to be linked to Lasee in any way other then geography, which gives him credibility through disassociation.

That is so sad. Even for someone as firmly in control of their emotions as Clarince T.

It is a shockingly common type of accident. For non-traffic fatalities for children under age 15 between 2002-2006, 49% were due to backovers, which amounts to more that 400 kids in that 5 year period.

Freaky.

Word to the wise, if you do for some reason decide to procreate, you should really keep the kids leashed when they are out of the cage.
