Most Outrageous Item Of The Day

THE PLAN: (a) Get your doctor to prescribe you a few anti-depressants, (2) Steal nearly $2 million from your employer, (3) Get off with a slap on the wrist because of pills, (4) Spend a year in “home confinement” sitting on your dead butt, eating chocolate, drinking beer and watching Jerry Springer - while you think of ways to spend all that loot.

Is there a single damn soul anywhere in this entire country who is responsible for their actions anymore or have the morons taken complete control?


‘Paxil Defense’ Embezzler Avoids Prison
TAMPA (AP) - November 21, 2006, 1:27 PM EST

imageimageA federal judge agreed with a Tampa executive’s claim that the antidepressant Paxil prompted him to embezzle $1.8 million from a former employer. U.S. District Judge James Moody Jr. sentenced Patrick Henry Stewart, 42, to a year of home confinement and five years’ probation.

Moody granted the reduced sentence Monday in part because defense lawyers produced studies and experts that said Paxil sometimes triggers arrogant and uncontrollable behavior in people with bipolar disorder. Stewart was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Prosecutors had recommended at least 3 1/2 years in prison as part of a plea agreement. “We believe the wrong message was sent to our employees, our shareholders and the public with this sentence,” said Beth Walters, a spokeswoman for Stewart’s former employer, Jabil Circuit, a contract manufacturer of printed circuit boards. “We will move on knowing that Pat Stewart is a convicted felon.”

Stewart agreed in August to plead guilty to wire fraud charges in exchange for a lighter sentence. Last week, his lawyers asked for more lenience based on the Paxil evidence. Stewart declined to comment after Monday’s hearing. “It’s a good day at our house,” said his wife, Leslie.

Paxil’s box carries a warning that anyone using the drug should be monitored for signs of agitation, irritability, suicidal thoughts or other unusual changes in behavior. It also warns that any psychoactive drug may impair judgment or thinking. Paxil is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
