Speaking of girls (which is frequently done around here) and in order to better appeal to the many and varied interests of True Believers all across the blogosphere, a little solicitation of feedback is in order.

The famed Saturday Gingermageddon posts have been a staple of this blog for some time, and on occasion we have changed things up with a Blondepocalypse, a Brunettenarok, an Asian Invasion or other themed Saturday totty post.  So, True Believers, let me know in the comments section – is there anything else anyone would like to see, theme-wise?  The only thing I don’t care for is celebrity photos, and things should be reasonably SFW.  Other than that I’m open to suggestions.

Or we could just keep going with redheads.

While you’re thinking about that, consider the more serious (and ominous) words of the always-worth-reading Dr. Victor Davis Hanson:  The Decline of Western Civilization in a Few Paragraphs.  Excerpt:

Every once in a while, a criminal case — consider the O.J. trial — reflects the immoral course of our current trajectory. Here is an ongoing local criminal case that pretty much sums up what is happening to our culture, laws, and society at large.

Perla Ibeth Vazquez, 27, is now on trial in these parts. On Oct. 21, 2011 (a mere two-and-a-half-years ago?), she was drunk, drove, and killed, according to the Fresno Bee, one “Frank Winslow, 54, a family man and truck driver for Foster Farms who was only a few miles from home when he was killed on Highway 168 near Ashlan Avenue.”

The Bee added that the local prosecutor, Steven Wright:

[L]aid the groundwork by telling the jury that Vazquez had pleaded guilty to drunken driving in Tulare County in 2006 and again in Fresno County in 2010. Each time, a judge warned her that if she got drunk and killed someone, she could be charged with murder, Wright said.

By all means read the whole thing.  Yr. obdt. has on many occasions found reason to be grateful to not live in Californey – this is one more.  How the state’s justice system can fail so utterly is astounding – but then, California as a state is pretty much failing utterly.  This incident is just one more straw.
