Over the past few weeks I’ve noticed “Judge John Torrence” rising back to the top of search terms that bring people to my blog.   You may remember him as the judge who let that scumbag Curtis Mertensmeyer off with a slap on the wrist earlier this year  for a gruesome hit-and-run homicide.   I thought maybe there has been some new development with that pampered Mission Hills kid and his light sentence, but a Google search turned up nothing.
However, when I searched for the judge’s name alone, the results were quite …

It seems to me that one would actually have to practice very hard in order to be this oblivious.

Earlier today I was trying to find information about a particular flavor of Doritos, so I popped over to the Doritos Web site to look up what I needed.
What I found was a site that is rendered virtually useless because somebody decided to spend at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to let some overpaid designer have a flashgasm all over my screen.
