Niceness pays ... about $900

My friend Noddy pointed me to this absolutely astounding story. I'm more than a little on the curmudgeonly side, but, sometimes, the sheer venality and pettiness of humanity still manages to take my breath away.

Let's remove from consideration the distinct possibility that girls named "Taylor" and "Lindsay Jo" probably deserve every little bit of misery they suffer, purely for being insufferably wholesome whitebread, because, really, we don't know that. They may, in fact, be wonderful, dear, innocent girls. Or, they may just have convinced their parents of that.

Even if they were a pair of latter day Heathers, who are being karmically punished for their crimes against the unbeautiful and unpopular, that still doesn't make Ms. Wanita Renea Young any less of a repugnant, selfish, self-righteous, and generally ignominious lump of protoplasm.

I'm with Noddy: Send the bitch a cookie. Send one to the judge. Send one to anyone who's trampling on others' attempts to spread a little kindness in the world.

Of course, nasty jackanape that I am, I say make 'em chocolate chip -- made special with Ex Lax.
