Here’s a story you probably won’t read in the Huffington Post: One of its writers has been arrested for stabbing her roommate girlfriend wife with a screwdriver not once, not twice, but 222 times.
Carol Burger covered the election for the HuffPo. Jessica Kalish, her roommate girlfriend wife, was a South Florida software executive and part-time talk show host.
Here’s how the Miami New Times reports the story:
To outsiders, it seemed they were the embodiment of contemporary domestic bliss: two smart, professional women living in an immaculate house replete with screened-in pool, a cabana bathroom, and plenty of room for their two adopted racing greyhounds. Soon, though, all of South Florida learned the unsettling truth.
The tragic tale continues:
Most of the screwdriver blows landed on Jessica’s neck and on the back of her head, perhaps directed at her new haircut. All told, there were 222 stab wounds. The lacerations were, on average, an inch to an inch-and-a-half deep, and most were shaped like the tiny plus sign on the tip of a Phillips-head screwdriver. The fatal strike was likely a blow to the spinal cord. The struggle — and subsequent overkill — probably lasted about 20 minutes.
To repeat, 222 stab wounds delivered over a 20-minute period.
And yet we wouldn’t be surprised if the defense attorneys portray it as self-defense. We wouldn’t be surprised if the left mounts “Free Burger” rallies. And we wouldn’t be surprised if Gloria Allred finds the TV cameras to announce that Burger is only being charged because she’s a woman.
There are two valuable lessons to be learned from this story:
One – Don’t piss off any writers at the Huffington Post.
Two – When phillips head screwdrivers are outlawed, only outlaws will have phillips head screwdrivers.

As I was reading, I kept wondering what the point was in such a long, detailed, soppy, Tres Tragique piece. Then I got to the last few paragraphs:
"After the sad incident, some observers suggested that the story of Jess and Carol highlighted the need for across-the-board legal recognition of civil unions and same-sex marriages....This is one example of many of a couple that entered into a marriage and then couldn't get themselves out of it."
It's trying to work up pity for the poor oppressed homosexuals. It's implying that if homosexual marriage had been legal in Florida, none of this would have happened. Sheesh. Ohhhhhh, the tragedy! Those poor oppressed discriminated-against homosexuals!
Not one word about the sick violence of stabbing someone over 200 times over 20 minutes. Not one word about why they didn't go to Massachusetts and get a divorce there. Years ago, people used to go to Las Vegas for quickie divorces, so traveling to another state for a divorce is not unheard of.
The article is also misleading because it implies that they somehow couldn't divide up joint property because they couldn't get a Florida divorce. What BS. If one couldn't buy out the other, they sell it and divide up the cash. Business partners do it all the time. Since they weren't legally married in Florida, they only need to handle it with a couple lawyers and some paperwork, like any two partners in a jointly-owned situation. If there's a dispute, go to court.
This is nothing but homosexual activism, disguised as news.
She (burger) killed herself apparently. Huffpost has a "remembering" article already up. Say she may have committed suicide after hearing of her wifes death.
