I never cease to amazed and amused by the statements of criminals and crazies. Of course, Shrub tops the list, but check out the ramblings of the woman who killed her preacher husband last year:

“It’s just a lot of stupid stuff,” she said. “I love him dearly, but gosh, he just nailed me in the ground. … The first of our marriage, I just took it like a mouse, didn’t think anything different. My mom just took it from my dad — that stupid scenario.”

But Winkler said she got a job at the post office and that experience taught her to stand up for herself. “That’s the problem. I have nerve now, and I have self-esteem. My ugly came out.”

I’m reminded of a man, years ago, who killed his wife, at least two of their children, another adult or two … and slashed the throat of his small daughter and left her to die. I think she survived. This took place up the Napa, as I recall. As they were bringing him back from Mexico on a plane he said this:

I don’t know, I guess for me I just got a little nervous.

Ain’t that something?
