Teens Hide Mom's Body In Car Trunk For A Month

   The  following story is one reason that I am totally for parents and teachers being allowed to take a belt, paddle, or hand at the child's early age and spanking that ass when it is needed instead of just talking to the child as is the way that it seems to go these days.

LAFAYETTE, Colorado (AP) -- For nearly a month after she was stabbed to death, Linda Damm's body lay in the trunk of her car inside her garage while her 15-year-old daughter and friends used her debit card to "do teenage stuff," police say.

Three teens tried but failed to get rid of the body, investigators allege, once turning back because they got stuck in the mud of a nearby landfill and later retrieving the body from a grave they had just dug at the edge of a cemetery, fearing it was too shallow.

They were planning to drive north to Wyoming for a third attempt, investigators claim, when an anonymous tip led police to Damm's body on February 28 in her modest house in Lafayette, a small town about 20 miles northeast of Denver.

   So now Linda Damm's daughter,Tess Damm, and her punk assed boyfriend are in jail without bail. Tess is charged with conspiracy, accessory, and tampering with evidence. The boyfriend, Bryan Grove, is charged with murder, conspiracy and tampering with evidence and they will both be tried as adults.

   There is a third teen who has been arrested but charges haven't been files yet and the DA has yet to figure out if this punk will be tried as an adult also.

    These are the kinds of kids that all of those bleeding hearts who said that real punishment would hurt a child's self esteem have created. Parents are afraid to look at the child the wrong way because of fear that the child will call social services or tell a school counselor that mommy or daddy touched me.

   Tess Damm claims that her mother was an alcoholic and that she could not care for her the way that she was supposed to.

   By looking at the picture with the original article, I would say that the daughter was a punk who never listened to the mother in the first place. Tess has trouble written all over her.

  She and her boyfriend and their other little friend should be fried.

Senator Hagel Says Congress May Use Impeachment

Hagel Suggests Possibility Of Bush Impeachment: ‘He’s Not Accountable Anymore’

According to a new report in Esquire magazine, Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) has suggested that Congress may consider the impeachment of President Bush before his term ends:

“The president says, ‘I don’t care.’ He’s not accountable anymore,” Hagel says, measuring his words by the syllable and his syllables almost by the letter. “He’s not accountable anymore, which isn’t totally true. You can impeach him, and before this is over, you might see calls for his impeachment. I don’t know. It depends how this goes.”

The conversation beaches itself for a moment on that word — impeachment — spoken by a conservative Republican from a safe Senate seat in a reddish state. It’s barely even whispered among the serious set in Washington, and it rings like a gong in the middle of the sentence, even though it flowed quite naturally out of the conversation he was having about how everybody had abandoned their responsibility to the country, and now there was a war going bad because of it.

Hagel isn’t the only one frustrated. The desire for more accountability over Bush has led to increasing calls for impeachment from the Washington State legislature, the mayor of Salt Lake City, and town hall meetings in Vermont.

Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) said pushing for impeachment would be counterproductive because it would break off efforts to recruit conservative support for changing the course of the war in Iraq. “We’re trying to get [conservatives] to vote against the war. They’re coming around. You don’t hear them singing the virtues of George Bush like they used to. But nothing will turn this into a partisan lockdown faster than impeachment.” Inslee added, “Ending the war is what’s important now.”

   The only problem with the last statement is that those Republicans who are supposed to be coming around have had at least one or two chances to join with the Democrats in stopping this war and they have refused to do so.
