Deryk Schlessinger

“Dr.” Laura was on Larry King’s show a few nights ago and you know what? I’ve had about enough of her. Most of you probably recall the scandal that erupted last summer involving her son Deryk (who is in the Army) and his inappropriate MySpace page (taken down) that revealed some of the most vile and sick thought patterns coming out of the head of a human being.  If he indeed posted the content there, then wow!

If you are not familiar with the saga surrounding her son, GO HERE, HERE, and HERE for background, then come back and continue this article.

Given how her own son turned out, in spite of her cutesy phrase, “I’m my child’s mom”, she has the nerve to attack Britney Spears’ parenting skills? Check this out from the transcript of Larry’s show:

KING: We’re back with Dr. Schlessinger, the book “The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage.” OK, the Britney Spears story, as the world knows it, the family called Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil went there, but apparently nothing came of it. Give me your take.

SCHLESSINGER: Well, my take is that between Federline and her, we have at least four children who are going to have terrible problems. And my heart aches for the lack of the intact family, for the lack of the mommy and daddy who are going to be involved with them, for the media attention that’s going to be in their lives. It’s just all very, very sad.

And Britney’s sister now making a baby as a teenager herself out of wedlock. Just the chaos that these four people have brought into the lives of children is — I wish it were criminal.

KING: How does it happen?

SCHLESSINGER: Well, I think you said something very important in how you introduced the subject, this is a worldwide story. Why? OK? Why? There are people dying all over the world. We almost had a problem in between Iran and our boats. And this is such a big story. And these people –

KING: It is a story.

SCHLESSINGER: It gets made bigger, it gets emphasized. It almost gets cloned again and again and again. It’s like there’s something new to say about Britney? The new thing is to say that this is a horrendous impact on children, that their parents have them as toys, and games in between them, and have babies as frivolously as I change my hairdo.

KING: Is this poor parenting?

SCHLESSINGER: On their part, certainly. On their respective parents? You know, when you have two young women in a family who are so out of control, and so without, sort of, as they say, a moral compass and making decisions that are in the best interests of the innocent child, then you have to wonder what kind of support and direction they’ve been getting.

Given how her own son turned out, this chick is talking about poor parenting skills? GIVE ME A BREAK!

Now look at “Dr.” Laura’s reaction after being confronted about her son and his alleged anti-social behavior:

KING: An e-mail from Todd in Los Angeles, “what’s the latest on your son and his military service? I read last year he was under investigation for allegedly posting offensive material on the Internet. What’s going on?”

SCHLESSINGER: Oh, gosh, I can’t believe you brought up something that was in the “National Enquirer” and in one tiny newspaper that had a grudge against me. My New Year’s resolution is not to deal with stupid trash. I’m very proud of my son.

KING: It’s not true then?

SCHLESSINGER: He’s serving in Afghanistan in combat. As we speak, he has a gun in his hand. And I’m very proud of what he’s been doing.

KING: Doesn’t it make you a little nervous?

SCHLESSINGER: You know what? No. It is odd. It is odd. Because I talk to so many military type wives. I’m mostly proud. Before he left, I nervously said to him, you know, this is not like a video game. I mean, you’re going to be shooting, which is cute, but they’re going to be shooting back. And you could get hurt or get killed. I actually said the word. It almost choked in my throat.

He said, mother, mother, mother, the way I drive, it’s a little fast. Now that he’s driving Humvees, actually he’s driving slower. But I could get killed on the freeway purposelessly. I don’t want to die. But if I do, it will be doing something meaningful.

KING: How much more does he have to serve there?

SCHLESSINGER: Well, that touched me and it made me not sit and worry. He’s there through the spring. And then he comes back and goes for special ops training.

KING: Is he Army?

SCHLESSINGER: Yes.

KING: How is your husband dealing with it?

SCHLESSINGER: He’s more the girl about it. He’s more worried about it. You know, I’m just more stoic about it.

KING: You’re more proud than fearful?

SCHLESSINGER: Yes, he’s proud and fearful, my husband.

Did you notice that she dodged Larry’s question when he asked her if it were true? This woman has a great deal of nerve, I’ll say that much for her! She is not in a position to attack anyone’s parenting skills.

Another thing. Given “Dr.” Laura’s social climbing personality, she is the type who would have enrolled her child in the very best schools with the dream of him going off to Princeton or Harvard or Westpoint.  Although the military is a great place to be, people like “Dr.” Laura don’t envision their sons going there unless it’s via Westpoint due to its stature.  Now why do you think her son is in the Army? Ponder that!

I have no choice but to issue “Dr.” Laura HickTown’s Exploding Balls award cause that lady has more balls that one can imagine.

Update #20

Okay, Bishop Thomas Weeks officially wins my “Exploding Balls” award for having the BALLS to contest the divorce that Juanita Bynum is trying to get from him.

Her Side:  

Televangelist Juanita Bynum has filed for divorce from her husband, who is accused of beating her, her lawyer said.

The divorce filing cites cruel treatment, Bynum’s attorney, Karla Walker, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The divorce filing also says the marriage between Bynum, 48, and Thomas W. Weeks III, 40, has been “irretrievably broken,” Walker said. It was officially filed Monday in Ware County, where Bynum has a home. source

By the way, she also is removing his name and she is returning to “Bynum” as her name.

His Side:

A minister accused of attacking his televangelist wife in a hotel parking lot will contest her petition for divorce, his lawyers said Tuesday.

Randy Kessler, one of the attorneys representing Thomas W. Weeks III, said they are considering whether the counterclaim will accuse Juanita Bynum of cruel treatment, the charge her divorce petition levels at Weeks.

“Cruel treatment is a very vague legal term,” Kessler said. “There’s a possibility that there’s cruel treatment on both sides, but we’re not committed to that position.” source

Reminder:

a. He has over $100,000 in debt

b. He was recently evicted from his home

c. He and Juanita had been separated for at least three months prior to the parking lot attack

d. He beat her in a hotel parking lot as though she were a common hooker and allegedly continued to kick her as he was being pulled off of her

e. He DID NOT apologize to her. Instead, he made a really weird comment about being “hurt” and apologized to the church

f. You and I would not know him if it were not for him marrying her

EARTH TO BISHOP WEEKS! Um…Sane women don’t return to men who beat, choke, stomp, and kick them in the private parts.

But I do give you credit for having the balls to contest this divorce!

Whew!

   Someone, anyone, please explain to me why a married man with three adult children who is pushing 70 years of age is hanging around dirty bathrooms trying to pick up strange men?

According to the prosecutor’s complaint, obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, airport police Sgt. Dave Karsnia, who was investigating allegations of sexual conduct in airport restrooms, went into a stall shortly after noon on June 11 and closed the door.

Minutes later, the officer saw Craig gazing into his stall through the crack between the stall door and the frame, fidgeted with his fingers and returned to gazing through the stall for about another two minutes.

After a man in the adjacent stall flushed the toilet and left, Craig entered it and put his roller bag against the front of the stall door, “which Sgt. Karsnia’s experience has indicated is used to attempt to conceal sexual conduct by blocking the view from the front of the stall,” said the complaint, which was dated June 25.

The complaint said Craig then tapped his right foot several times and moved it closer to Karsnia’s stall and then moved it into the area of the officer’s stall to where it touched Karsnia’s foot. Karsnia recognized that “as a signal often used by persons communicating a desire to engage in sexual conduct,” the complaint said.

Apparently alleged perverts such as Sen. Craig have no concerns about the various diseases he could pick up and pass on to his wife. Parents, this is the primary reason why you must never send a boy under age 10 into a male bathroom alone. If he goes in there, OPEN THE DOOR and wait for him to come back out! To many sickos hang out in men’s restrooms. Ush!    

Craig then passed his left hand under the stall divider into Karsnia’s stall with his palms up and guided it along the divider toward the front of the stall three times, the complaint said.

The officer then showed his police identification under the divider and pointed toward the exit “at which time the defendant exclaimed `No!,’ ” the complaint said.

The Aug. 8 police report says that Craig had handed the arresting officer a business card that identified him as a member of the Senate.

“What do you think about that?” Craig is alleged to have said, according to the report.

Would you believe that this weirdo is actually denying guilt now and saying that he only pleaded guilty to expedite the case? Hmmm….Maybe he was actually hanging around that bathroom because he is obsessed with stalls?

Well, I’ve been forced to issue yet another “Exploding Balls” award. Sen. Craig, your balls may be tainted with femininity but you sure have plenty of them. Gee

Update #9 

I must give my second Exploding Balls  award to Bishop Thomas Weeks III.  He has established a “Raven Fund” with zero explanation of what a Raven Fund is. However, there are the accompanying words:  Click here to aid and support the “Raven Fund” at this difficult time

So I must infer that the “Raven Fund” is set up to help him with his legal defense?

He also has a blurb which states:  We understand and thank you for your concern for our leaders, Bishop Thomas Weeks and Prophetess Juanita Bynum Weeks. We are asking that you continue to hold our leaders up in prayer and prayer God’s sovereign will be done. Thank you for your support! Please leave your encouraging words and prayers at [email address] Prayer & Support  Source

Let’s get this straight:

1. They have been secretly separated for three months, which means that something happened that was serious enough that she felt a need to be apart from him.

2. She had him evicted from one of her homes.

3. HE requested a meeting with her at a hotel.

4. The meeting did not go the way he planned so HE chose to beat, punch, knock her to the ground, kick her in her private parts, stomp on her like a roach….and had to be pulled off of her as he continued to kick her while making terroristic (”I’ll kill you”) threats against her life.

And now he wants US to support him financially?

I tell you what. A sucka is born every day and I’m certain that if he has the balls to ask for money, some “silly woman” as the Apostle Paul describes such women, will empty out her wallet. Let her go ahead.

UPDATE 8/28/07 - Apparently Bishop Weeks and his followers realized how inappropriate it was for him to actually ask for donations to fund his legal defense for acts that he chose to commit as an adult male. The “Raven Fund” information has been taken down, replaced by a video of him asking people to buy some of his tapes.

I’ve heard parts of his so-called sermons. Dry preacher. I would not sit under his ministry for a second. You can spend your money on that boring stuff if you want but you’d do better to invest your money in your local church.

          I have to give my very first “Exploding Balls” award to Representative William Jefferson of Louisiana (wow, I’ve been talking about Louisiana a great deal lately!) Jefferson tickles me. The man has more balls than anyone in the entire state of Louisiana and definitely more balls than anyone on Capitol Hill. If you have forgotten who he is, allow me to refresh your memory:

In a 95-page affidavit used to obtain a warrant for the office search, investigators stated that an August 2005 search of Democratic Rep. William Jefferson’s home turned up the cash sum in a freezer.

The money was divided among various frozen food containers, according to the heavily redacted affidavit.

Agents told a judge the money was part of a $100,000 payment that had been delivered by an informant in the bribery probe, which already has led to guilty pleas by a Kentucky businessman and a former Jefferson aide. Source

Here, Jefferson whined about the “hell” he went through as a result of the investigation:  Video

Keep in mind that the “victim”, Jefferson was caught on tape—red handed, taking bribes:

The FBI revealed Sunday that Jefferson was videotaped accepting $100,000 in $100 bills from an FBI informant, who agreed to have her conversations with the congressman taped. Agents later found the cash hidden in a freezer, according to court documents. Source

It’s interesting that Nigeria is involved in this situation, as Nigeria produces some of the biggest crooks and scam artists on planet earth:

The government says Jefferson received $100,000 in a leather briefcase last July 30 at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Arlington, Va. The plan was for the lawmaker to use the cash to bribe a high-ranking Nigerian official to ensure the success of a business deal in that country, the 100-page affidavit said.

All but $10,000 was recovered on Aug. 3, when the FBI searched Jefferson’s home in Washington. The money was stuffed in his freezer, wrapped in $10,000 packs and concealed in food containers and aluminum foil. Source

I’ve blogged about the state of Louisiana twice over the past couple of weeks, and anyone who read those articles will not be surprised that that state actually put Jefferson BACK in office. LOL!  Article

In the most hilarious twist of fate, Jefferson actually has won a court battle regarding his open-and-shut bribery case:

WASHINGTON - The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals today granted embattled Congressman William Jefferson, D-LA, a small victory, by way of an administrative injunction, temporarily preventing FBI agents from sifting through documents seized from his Capitol Hill office in May. The document review was to begin today. Source

 And so yes…Congressman William Jefferson has earned the highly esteemed honor of being the first HickTownPress recipient of the EXPLODING BALLS Award. Wear it well, sir. You earned it. And keep on grin’n,  ya  hear?
