Brenda Lee DID it!

OH….my….GOD. Oh, sweet lord in heaven.. (string of expletives following, unsuitable for blog publication). I can’t believe it. Brenda Lee has done what I’ve fantasized about doing since I was 12.

No jail for JW that sexually assaulted daughter

The Globe and Mail: No jail for Jehovah’s Witness found guilty of abusing daughter Ontario JW Gower Palmed pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault. Although the court found he abused his daughter on at least five occasions, Judge Kruzick thought he had already been punished by the civil suit – and after all, he’ll be on a sex-offender registry. Now a married mother of three pre-teen daughters, Ms. Boer said she hoped her criminal and civil battles would…
