We're over, Prison Break

Jesus Christ on toast.

The FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING BASTARDS at FOX have killed one of the best drama series of my adult life, when they decided to decapitate Sara Tancredi.

I can't even go into it. Michael and Sara no sooner expressed their love for each other, than they were ripped apart, and now they've killed her off. I'm done with the show. I am LIVID.

Justice

Recent events have prompted me to look take a quick look at some of the penalties imposed by the Canadian justice system for a couple of different offenses.

First, impersonating a police officer: Personate police officer; Criminal code section 130; max penalty 6 mos./$2,000 fine

Obstruct police; Criminal Code section 129; maximum penalty 6 mos./$2,000 fine; indictable 2 yrs.

Perjury (such as giving sworn testimony that, "No, I never saw a letter that my [friend/boyfriend] is alleged to have counterfeited, ostensibly from the OPP"): Criminal code section 131, 132. Maximum indictable penalty - oh, wow, hey! 14 yrs.

Which means if you're 23 now, you'd be darn near close to 40 before you saw the light of day again.

I imagine you'll want to consider your actions carefully.

On behalf of Julie

On behalf of my sister, I offer the words of Dashboard Confessionals' "Best Deceptions":

I heard about your trip
I heard about your souvenirs
I heard about the cool breeze and the cool nights
And the cool guys that you spent them with
I guess I should have heard of them from you
I guess I should have heard of them from you

Well don't you see, don't you see
That the charade is over
And all the "best deceptions" and the
"Clever cover story" awards go to you

So kiss me hard
'Cause this will be the last time that I let you
You will be back someday
And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips
Will be of service to keeping you away

I heard about your regrets
I heard that you were feeling sorry
I heard from someone that you wish you could
Set things right between us
Well, I guess I should have heard of that from you
I guess I should have heard of that from you

Well don't you see, don't you see
That the charade is over
And all the "best deceptions" and the
"Clever cover story" awards go to you

So kiss me hard
'Cause this will be the last time that I let you
You will be back someday
And this awkward kiss that screams of other people's lips
Will be of service to keeping you away
To keeping you away

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers
I'll be alright when my hands get warm
Ignoring the phone--I'd rather say nothing
I'd rather you never heard my voice
You're calling too late, too late to be gracious
You do not warrant long goodbyes
You're calling too late
You're calling too late
You're calling too late

Hey, Jarrett? Got a second?

I'm just saying.
