Christ on a cracker, take a serious look at the folks that pay good (hard earned money?) to spend a night at the site of this infamous double murder for profit. Only in America.
It comes as no great surprise that many of them are so morbidly obese. (Food to die for? WTH?) An insipid song, a wretched TV movie, and now this dark little house of blood for dollars. Poor little Lizzie Borden. At least she was able to keep her self-important head intact (unlike her doomed Step- Mommie and Daddy Dearest).
Wait! A posh New England jury found her innocent! A good Christian woman could never do such a horrible deed! Indeed. I said indeed! Good day, Sir!
Yes, I know many "experts" claim the Irish maid was paid off to keep her silence about the terrible deed that Miss Lizzie done (Irish speak). Well, I'm Irish as Hell, and if any living person insisted on calling me Maggie (when that was not my birth name) then I'd have turned them in on a dime.
ReplyDeleteThe maid did not do it. It was always about Miss Lizzie. Money talks. And Miss Lizzie was too fond of the finer things in life. Odd that. Given that she was a Sunday school teacher...
P.S. And her rich elderly father would grab a penny from the road (sidewalk) when he was having a lucky day. Yet he would not provide his family w/indoor plumbing?
ReplyDeleteSomething wicked this way comes...
It's just the way things are. Al Capone is a historical figure. Hitler is one of the most (in)famous people in history. Books are written, and movies are made, about serial killers: not their victims. Violent people are the stars of our violent world and society.

ReplyDeleteRight on. Wish we could change that :-)
