But he didn't enjoy the sand and yet he kept trying to eat it.

It shows he's determined.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh fuck, this is fucked up if it's true....

Wallace Souza, Brazilian TV Host, Accused Of Ordering Killings To 'Boost Ratings'

SAO PAULO, Brazil — In one murder after another, the "Canal Livre" crime TV show had an uncanny knack for being first on the scene, gathering graphic footage of the victim.

Too uncanny, say police, who are investigating the show's host, state legislator Wallace Souza, on suspicion of commissioning at least five of the murders to boost his ratings and prove his claim that Brazil's Amazon region is awash in violent crime. Police also have accused Souza of drug trafficking.

"The order to execute always came from the legislator and his son, who then alerted the TV crews to get to the scene before the police," state police intelligence chief Thomaz Vasconcelos charged in an interview with The Associated Press.

The killings of competing drug traffickers, he said, "appear to have been committed to get rid of his rivals and increase the audience of the TV show."

Souza denied all the criminal allegations and called them absurd, insisting that he and his son are being set up by political enemies and drug dealers sick of his two decades of relentless crime coverage on TV and crusading legislative probes.

"I was the one who organized legislative inquiries into organized crime, the prison system, corruption, drug trafficking by police, and pedophilia," Souza said in an interview with the AP.

Souza's lawyer, Francisco Balieiro, said that the only witness is a disgraced police officer hoping for leniency in nine murders he is charged with.

"There is not one piece of material proof in these accusations," Balieiro said.

How long ago was this, megan?

Not megan but my COBRA payments last year were, I think, $550 a month, including dental. (ETA: And life insurance too!)

How I miss my WGA health plan.

Now tagless for your comfort.

But he didn't enjoy the sand and yet he kept trying to eat it. This is not from today, but in July. But still. WTF?

BWAH! Owen's face always looked like a powdered donut when he was eating sand. Which he did way too much for my taste. It was a texture thing. Just be glad he hasn't chowed down on kitty litter yet. Because that's even more WTF!

Grace's cheeks look absolutely edible.

Olivia just announced that when she grows up, she's going to get a baby in her tummy beside her food.

She's a little young to be plotting cannibalism, isn't she?

It shows he's determined.

If by determined you mean willing to put himself into discomfort to prove he's right? then yes.

She's still at the "baby's in your tummy" stage with regards to pregnancy. One of the girls at the gym daycare is pregnant so that's how they're puzzling it out. Liv is completely obsessed with babies right now, too.
