The White House Office of National Drug Policy says...

WHITE HOUSE A White House report says teenage girls are more likely to abuse prescription drugs than teenage boys.

The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy says almost one in ten teenage girls reported using a prescription drug at least once in the past year to get high. Typically, they abuse antidepressants and tranquilizers.

Among teenage boys, the rate was about one out of 13. Teenage boys are much more likely to use illicit drugs like marijuana and cocaine.

Federal officials think the abuse of prescription drugs by teenage girls may be related to the unique pressures they face. They often use them to increase confidence, reduce tension, or lose weight. (But that in no way will reduce our efforts to incarcerate them.)

Men typically abuse drugs and alcohol for the sensation. (Men face no unique pressures.) (Men don't want to increase confidence, reduce tension or lose weight.)

This song has been playing in my head the last few days thought this might get it out, or make it worse, at least it's a song I like.

One Cheetos Frilly Pie Please!

Ever had a Cheetos frilly pie? Me neither but I ordered one yesterday. The girl I ordered it from thought it was funny, I was torn between laughing at myself and concern for the shrinking number of brain cells that I have to work with. Of Course I meant to order a Frito's chili pie but had to settle for a Frito's chili wrap. It just wasn't the same, all the cheese ran to the bottom. And in the cheese at the bottom was a HUMAN FINGER! It was mine! It kind of poked through the soggy bottom of the paper. Speaking of Soggy Bottoms...

Boomtown Rats "I don't Like Mondays" (1979)

On 29 January 1979, 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer opened fire on children arriving at Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego from her house across the street, killing two men and wounding eight students and a police officer. Principal Burton Wragg was attempting to rescue children in the line of fire when he was shot and killed, and custodian Mike Suchar was slain attempting to aid Wragg.

Spencer used a rifle her father had given her as a gift. As to what impelled her into this form of murderous madness, she told a reporter,''I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day.''

The "Mondays" comment was not the only eyebrow-raising declaration to issue from Spencer that day. According to a report written by the police negotiators who spoke with her during the six-hour standoff, she made such comments to them as ''There was no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun''; ''It was just like shooting ducks in a pond''; and ''[the children ] looked like a herd of cows standing around, it was really easy pickings.''

That Spencer failed to kill any of the children she shot at was attributable to luck rather than any reluctance on her part to take their lives. The bullet that struck 9-year-old Charles "Cam" Miller missed his heart by about an inch.

Spencer pled guilty to two counts of murder and assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. She has been up for parole four times and has been turned down each time, the last in 2005. At her first parole hearing she expressed doubt that any of the victims were hit by bullets from her rifle and contended they might have been shot by police. She also claimed to have been under the influence of alcohol and hallucinogenic drugs at the time of the shootings and asserted prosecutors and her attorney had conspired to fabricate test evidence showing there had been no drugs in her system. By her third parole hearing she was admitting guilt and expressing remorse but was still contending she had been drunk and high on marijuana laced with PCP the day of her deadly rampage. She also claimed something new, that she had been beaten and sexually abused by her father, an avowal conspicuously absent from previous records.

She is eligible to again apply for parole in 2009. Those who continue to be troubled by the callousness of Brenda Spencer's crime and concerned by her continued attempts to shift blame for her actions onto anyone or anything else can draw comfort from the knowledge that murderers are rarely granted parole in California.
