"Johnson said she was shocked that her eldest son � whom she described as a 'good Christian' � was arrested in connection with the slayings of three generations of the Anderson family. "

WTF does "good Christian" even mean anymore?

And apparently the killers met through an online dating service -- probably one of the ones that don't let gays join because they are "perverts." Ahhh, dios mio...

@1: I heard that he hadn't spoken to his family in a while since some sort of "monetary dispute"- also super Christian of him.

The whole situation is awful, and from what I've been able to gather, the daughter who's being held in connection to it was more than a little off. "Wired different" is what someone said, I think. Shorthand for "selfish bitch".

Poor tiger. Murdered for killing some fucking moron who taunted him and earned his own death.

I don't have my copy of John Hodgman's book handy, but I supsect that the convergence of these events is a portent of Ragnorok.

Hey Josh, thanks for the update on aging health care cutbacks.... I've been extremely interested as of late about the baby boomers, and how they are going to bankrupt our society, and how their selfishness is something we need to attend to for the benifit of the greater good.

@10: Sorry, I don't get it. It's a picture of her....and...so...

Forgive me. I'm not the snarkiest bulb in the Slog chandelier so I am missing the substance of your comment.

Oooh--it's like the movie Airplane, in the scene where Lloyd Bridges is standing dramatically in front of the picture of Lloyd Bridges standing dramatically in front of a picture of Lloyd Bridges!

Cool.

Can Charles expound on the politics of why that picture of her is totally elongated so she appears thinner? Is it SLOG doing that, or capitalism?
