"WICHITA, Kan. - A slain Kansas psychiatrist
was stabbed more than 160 times at his clinic in Wichita last month,
according to a newly released arrest affidavit for a patient charged in
the attack.
"Umar Dutt, 21, is jailed on $1 million bond on charges
of first-degree murder in Dr. Achutha Reddy's Sept. 13 killing at his
Holistic Psychiatry Services clinic."
After fighting for two weeks to get a prescription filled that I used to take regularly, and still not getting it, I'm beginning to have some thoughts . . . Why do they lie and say I have no appointment scheduled? When I tell then the exact time of my appointment, they say I haven,'t seen this healthcare provider before. When I give them that time and date, they say it's "someone else's" fault. Who? God only knows.
When I was a kid and someone screwed up, that person was sought out in order to prevent future screw-ups. We no longer do that. There are a million things now that are "nobody's" fault. Dysfunction reigns supreme while daily life becomes more and more of a chore. If you don't like it, too bad. It's the wave of the future.

He deserves a break
Filming a documentary for ESPN’s 30 for 30,
WWE star “Nature Boy” Ric Flair said he’s slept with around 10,000
women. He’s also confessed to consuming about 20 alcoholic beverages per
day during his wrestling career. And he’s been struck by lightning. But
after four divorces, the 68-year-old says he’s changed his ways and
become a “one-woman guy” since meeting his fiancée Wendy Barlow.
No longer matters
The Chicago home that was used for the exterior shots of the popular ’90s sitcom Family Matters will be demolished to make way for a three-unit residence in the city’s posh Lincoln Park neighborhood.
‘Mad Pooper’ on the runs
Police
in Colorado are looking for a jogger they say is interrupting her runs
to defecate in public. Cathy Budde says she was first alerted to the
woman — whom she’s dubbed “the Mad Pooper” — by her children, who caught
the jogger in the act. Even after apologizing to Budde, the runner has
left something behind at least once a week for seven weeks. Police have
asked Budde to take pictures of the woman so they can try to identify
her.. And the makers of Charmin recently announced that if the Mad
Pooper would turn herself in, they’d give her a year’s supply of TP —
for use at home.

U.S. Rep. Louie
Gohmert, R-Texas, wanted U.S. Sen. John McCain to be recalled while
undergoing treatment for brain cancer so Republicans could replace him
with someone who supported the party’s most recent failed effort to
repeal and replace Obamacare. The sympathetic Gohmert went on to say
that he was concerned about McCain’s health. “Stress is a real inhibitor
to getting over cancer,” Gohmert told Fox & Friends. “I
think Arizona could help him, and us. Recall him, let him fight
successfully this terrible cancer, and let’s get someone in here who
will keep the word he gave last year.”
Trust in artificial intelligence
A
recent survey finds millennial parents of Generation Alpha kids less
nervous about their kids riding alone in self-driving cars than their
kids driving alone. They also say if their kids want a robot pet, they
would be likely to get one instead of a real pet. And, about 63 percent
say they’d rather have artificial intelligence help them live
independently than rely on their kids in their golden years. The survey
results come from IEEE, an international technical professional
organization.
Sweet news
Among the hoax stories
circulating in late September was a report from Breaking News 365 that
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups would be discontinued in October, just before
Halloween. Not true, says Hershey’s, which makes the sweet and salty
treat. A company statement said, “The only people removing Reese’s
products from shelves are consumers, who are taking them home to eat.”
Un-neighborly conduct
As
CEO of the homebuilding company KB Home, Jeffrey Mezger might be one of
the most powerful people in real estate. But that doesn’t give him
license to hurl out-of-control slurs and threats of gay bashing at his
neighbors. The board of his company slashed his bonus by 25 percent
after he went on a rough, anti-gay tirade against his neighbor Kathy
Griffin after she and her partner reported a noise disturbance coming
from his home. The scene was captured on a security camera. Next time,
the board warned, he’s out.
Bad karma
Young
Living Essential Oils must pay a $500,000 fine, $135,000 in
restitution, and make a $125,000 community service grant for the
conservation of protected species of plants used in its essential oils.
The Utah-based company was sentenced for Lacey Act and Endangered
Species Act violations.
Ig Nobel discoveries
Harvard
University recently hosted the 27th annual Ig Nobel awards for absurd
scientific achievement. James Heathcoat won the anatomy prize for his
research on why old men have big ears. The biology prize went to a team
from Japan, Brazil and Switzerland for their discovery of a female penis
and male vagina in a cave insect. A team of French researchers won the
medicine prize for using brain-scanning technology to measure aversions
to cheese. Researchers from Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom won the
cognition prize for demonstrating that many identical twins visually
cannot tell themselves apart. The winners received “$10 trillion cash
prizes in virtually worthless Zimbabwean money.”
Selecting a name
Officials
in Brookline, Massachusetts, are expected to decide in November whether
to rename the town’s governing board — from the “board of selectmen” to
the “board of selectwomen.” Selectwomen would apply, regardless of the
gender of the board members, say advocates of the change. A second
option would be to change the name to the board of selectpeople.
Hello how is everyone doing on the nice cold wet morning. I know one thing I would rather have the wet rain then the nasty snow. I hope everyone has been enjoying the nice weather we been having. Here are your questions for this week.
1) Have you ever made gifts for your friends and family?
2) What kind of gifts have you made for them?
3) Have you ever bought gifts for your friends and family from garage sales?
4) Have you ever bought gifts for your friends and family from thrift stores?

STURTEVANT - Foxconn Technology Group
identified the site for a massive electronics plant in Racine County on
Wednesday but provided few other details, prompting environmental groups
to continue to raise questions about the impact a 20
million-square-foot facility might pose on natural resources.
The
groups said they will monitor how the Taiwan-based company’s sprawling
plant will conform with the regulation of Great Lakes water; the amount
of pollution the plant will discharge; and the impact on wetlands at a
site in the Village of Mount Pleasant.
The factory
is targeted for the far southwest corner of the village on nearly 1,200
acres, bounded largely by I-94 on the west, Highway KR on the south,
Highway H on the east and Braun Road on the north.
Racine
County officials also disclosed on Wednesday that Foxconn plans to
acquire more than twice that acreage for future development, creating a
far larger footprint over time.
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. How are you? I hope that you're feeling well. I'm feeling OK. The weather continues to be delightful. Soon, though, will come the bite of winter. Take it one day at a time, and everything will be fine.
The Packers just keep beating every other team. This Sunday they start at 4: 30 pm. at Dallas. Make them cry, boys.
Here's the standings from the Irregular Football League:
Things don't seem to move much on that board.
Now, about the Las Vegas mass murders, it's difficult for me to even gather my thoughts What makes someone act out like that? He planned the attack. He was the Angel of Death, randomly firing into the crowd below. It was some sort of automatic weapon or a semi-automatic made to fire fast. He killed so many and injured a catastrophic number. So now life has changed for many, many people.
What the hell is the matter with these bloodsuckers? They suddenly jump out at you and attempt to attach themselves to you. Nice work if you can get it.
I'm sure that you heard about Tom Petty. He was the same age as Mr. OrbsCorbs. Que spooky music. Let's dance my last dance Everybody jump up and down for a minute. There you go. This dance will sweep the nation.
Get out and enjoy this weather. Soon enough, we'll see the s-word. No, no, no.

"Over the summer, representatives of Pitts Brothers
& Associates, a Kenosha-based real estate firm, began approaching
property owners in that slice of southwestern Mount Pleasant, seeking
options to buy their land. Some owners signed up quickly, while others
held back.
"Now, it appears the brokers have put
together a critical mass of property, paving the way for Wednesday's
scheduled announcement.
"Still unknown is just how much land will be dedicated to Foxconn, and possibly for supplier plants that could locate nearby.
"The
bloc where Pitts Brothers has sought options contains more than 2,000
acres bounded by Highway 11 on the north, I-94 on the west, Highway KR
on the south, and Highway H on the east. A two-lane road, Braun Road,
divides the bloc into roughly equal sections of a little more than 1,000
acres each. The northern section includes about 80 acres in Sturtevant.
"In
recent weeks, the area has seen a flurry of pre-construction activity —
helicopters and drones conducting aerial surveys, drills boring into
the soil for samples at multiple points, and crews flagging wetlands.
"Just
last week, workers from Nielsen Madsen + Barber, a civil engineering
and surveying firm in Racine, spent two days identifying wetlands on one
property, a landowner said. After that, he said, a crew from the state
Department of Natural Resources came to check the surveying company's
work."
I’m
Art Kumbalek and man oh manischewitz what a world, ain’a? So listen,
just got the news that the great Tom Petty is now learning to fly with
angel wings at the same exact age as a certain gab-about who more than
likely shows up on this back page of the Shepherd. I better sit back and relax, what the fock.
But first, I need to get ahold of O.J. now that he’s sprung from the
hoosegow so’s that maybe he can help me find the Milwaukee lion that no
one has discovered yet. I’ve heard he’s supposed to be good at that kind
of thing, I kid you not.
And speaking of discovery, I found out that Columbus Day falls on
Monday, Oct. 9 this year. Cripes, that day always gets moved around like
it’s an Easter Sunday or something. I do enjoy the day, however, for
the simple fact that I cannot receive any goddamn overdue bills in the
mail, which then forces me to piss away a lot of time concocting the
excuses for why I still can’t come up with the dough.
I also recently discovered that sanity in a state government is still possible in this day and rage. This, from Salon:
“…the Republican governor of Illinois, Bruce Rauner, just made a
startling move in bucking the religious right. Thursday, Rauner signed a
law written by Democratic legislators that allows the state’s insurance
programs, including Medicaid, to cover abortion. It also ended the
state’s ‘trigger law,’ which would have banned abortion if Roe v. Wade
were ever overturned by the Supreme Court.”
Praise be. This kind of reminds me of a plank of my speech that I was
ready to deliver at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in
Phila-focking-delphia except I wasn’t invited. My speech was to go
something like this:
“About this right-to-life argument that goes: ‘How can we do the
condoning of abortion? Block the pregnancy from going the whole nine
yards, and how do you know you aren’t denying the world the next Albert
Einstein, the next Duke Snider, the next Clarence Birdseye?’ To that I
say, what the fock. For argument’s sake, with the abortion, how do you
know we’re not sparing the world the next Ivan the Terrible, the next
Charlie focking Manson, the next Ryan Seacrest?
“And another thing everybody’s yelling about is the pinpoint time of
when life gets out of the gates. Is it one month pregnant or three?
After six weeks or two, or right off the bat at the conception
reception? Just where the heck’s this line of the marcation anyways,
ain’a?
“To argue right-to-life, you’d have to say ‘life’ begins even before
the inception of the act of the womb inflation. It begins soon’s you get
the nerve up at the cocktail lounge and say, ‘Howdy, good-looking, you
come here often or would you rather come over by my place?’ If this
member of a sex suggests a long walk off a short gangplank, I’d say we’d
have a right-to-life violation.
“And think of the ramification of a right-to-life law here in our
land of liberty. Any focking thing that would interfere or otherwise
kibosh the mating ordeal of bodies together that would climax with life
creation would be against that law. The word ‘no’ would be
unlawful. There could be no more bar-time closings (in every cloud…). No
contraceptives of any kind, including cold showers. Headaches—outlawed.
“Cripes, I can hear lawyers drooling even as I speak. A right-to-life
law would increase their already legendary right-to-lucre. There’d have
to be a courthouse on every block. Not doing the mating when called
upon would be, judicially, murder; and murderers are capitally punished
to death. Are you going to want to fry in the chair just for being too
focking tired? I think not. Every man, woman and child who turned down
the hootchie-cootchie would be cruising death row, and what kind of
right-to-life would that be?
“Each and every one of us Americans would end up executed at some
point in time. There’d be none of us left, and that’s just the kind of
opening the world’s remaining Commies are looking for to march right in
and set up their Red-herring shop here from sea to shining sea.
“In conclusion, about this pro-choice vs. no-choice: We got a focking
law in this land to cover that subject. The law says something sort of
like a ‘lady’s right to control the destiny of her own focking body,
hey, focking A-OK.’ And that’s still backed up by the Supreme Court, as
in the United States Supreme Court, Jack.
“So if these focking Bible-belting bozos and their ilk got a bug up
their beatific butts about that, they’re welcome to leave the Amber
Waves and go live in some focking country of women-hating religious nuts
who put the woman on par with the dirt de la chattel of no-rights—and
they’ll have a hundred-times more choice than they’re willing to allow
their own fellow citizens. What the fock, I’ll even make travel
arrangements courtesy of President Art Kumbalek, ’cause I’m, Art
Kumbalek and I told you so.”
