This appears to be the perfect plot out of, say, The Sopranos, or a horror film.
Except, this is real life.
Leonardo Garcia Gonzalez, 23, chopped up Christopher Lampkin's body after shooting him execution style, and tried to feed it to pigs.
Judge Dennis Graves, in Marion County court in Salem, Oregon, sentenced Gonzales to life with the possibility of parole after 30 years.

Arnold Endorses McCain
Senator John Mcain's (R-Arizona) pulse must be pretty strong these days, and a lot of love is given to him, no doubt.
Click on the title to go to the CBS 2 Los Angeles story and video.
On the heels of former New York mayor Rudy Guiliani's endorsement (and his dropping out of the presidential race), California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (L.A.'s next mayor?...just a thought, kids...) has thrown in his support for Mccain. Schwarzenegger believes that McCain can keep the country secure, and can win overe moderates (whereas Schwarzenegger is one) and independents.
However, one person isn't giving the love back.
Former Massachusetts governor Willard 'Mitt' Romney says that McCain isn't conservative enough. McCain fought back...oh, just watch the clips!
(Clips courtesy of YouTube, Hobobob10, and CNN):
Mike Huckabee has fallen behind. It appears to me that he may drop out in the race within the next 30-60 days. If Huckabee doesn't win at least three states- and this is my opinion- next Tuesday, Super Tuesday, it appears that he'll drop out. Who he'll endorse, that's anyone's guess. (Hell, who I'll endorse on the Democrats' side...damn, it'll be awhile before I make my choice).
I have to admire Texas senator Ron Paul for his spunk. Before Guiliani dropped out yesterday, he was in next to last place. But now that he is in last place, it's almost like David-and-Goliath. Yet he's not quitting.
But for the moment now, it's McCain's streak. It's still close, and Romney could retake the lead come Tuesday. It's definitely going to be fisticuffs between the man nicknamed 'the Maverick', and the ex-governor from one of the most liberal states in the Union.

I Got a Heart Attack Watching the Super Bowl!
Picture this scene.
It's Super Bowl Sunday- as in this Sunday, February 3. The New England Patriots and New York Giants are duking it out in Glendale, Arizona. You, Joe Sixpack (and I, Darren Twelve-Pack...don't ask...) are no doubt pumped up. The adrenaline's pumping, I'm excited as a rabid sports fan as Eli Manning makes a long pass to a receiver for the tie-breaking touchdown. We cheer on, when all in a sudden, one of us experiences chest pain.
Severe chest pain!
OH, MY FUCKING GOD! ONE OF US HAS A HEART ATTACK!
According to a new study in the New England journal of Medicine, doctors in Germany examined about 4300 patients who had heart-related illnesses. On the day that the German football (soccer) team played, the incidence of cardiac emergencies was 2.66 times the normal control number during a control period, from May 1 to June 8 and July 10-31, 2006, and May 1 to July 31, 2003 and 2005. In men, incidence was 3.26 times that, women, 1.82 times the normal number.
Of course, one of the usual suspects- smoking- is one of the culprits in this. After all, we're watching the game, pretty much sitting on our asses, yelling at the TV screens- and in many cases, forgetting gto take (or even setting aside) our heart medication.
Steps medical experts suggest:
1. Stay calm (easier said than done admittedly)
2. Stay away from the Marlboros, Camels, and Winstons!

Guiliani Drops Out, Endorses McCain
As expected, Rudolph Guiliani has dropped out of the republican presidential race. Guiliani has endorsed fellow republican, US senator John McCain (Arizona), and McCain feels honored. Guiliani touted McCain's accomplishments- as a POW in the Vietnam War, and his 'straight-talk' on issues.
In the meantime, California govenor Arnold Schwarzenegger may endorse McCain.
No words from the other remaining Republican candidates on Guiliani's departure.

Catholic Church Aghast Over 'Nuns-and-Nudes' Picture
A fitness club ad that features nuns sketching a nude man has the Catholic church up in arms. C.J. Doyle of the Catholic League of Massachusetts says that the ad portrays a "callous contempt for the sensibility of Catholics."
Of course, I'm thinking that if the picture depicted a nude little boy and a pedophile priest enjoying the goods, I think these nimrods would've approved. After all, they want to censor everything and everybody, but they often times forget to watch their tongues- and zippers.
