I'm not saying the doctor isn't guilty, just that I understand.
...cooking her his body.
Look, dude wants to go my miss and take on a traditional woman's name, fine, his call. The gender does not change even if he gets enough hormones that if he were a cow PETA would throw a fit, and he is advertising the wrong tackle.
Like the man said, sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.

I admit, I don't know what I was expecting. I thought this might be satire. This sounds like something out of the most grotesque of indie horror flicks.

"How rude!" roared the Russian, "I'm screwed!"
when he learned he'd been doing a dude.
"Now you've ruined the mood..."
moued the choosy old prude,
"but let's try this again when we're stewed!"
Note that they weren't named Tex and Bonnie Sue. A couple who enslaved a young woman for 16 years at their home in the US have been sentenced to seven years in jail. Seems like they should each have gotten at least sixteen years penal servitude.
Mohammed Touré and his wife Denise Cros-Touré, both 58, were found guilty in January of bringing the maiden of tender years from Guinea to Texas and forcing her to work for them without pay in early 2000. I'd call being forced to work without pay slavery.
The couple, both citizens of Guinea, may lose their US immigration status, the US Department of Justice said. Sounds like a good idea, which means they probably won't.
Mr Touré is the son of Guinea's first president, Ahmed Sékou Touré. Ahah. Laws don't normally apply to VIPs. Wonder what went wrong?
The pair were also ordered to pay $288,620.24 (£222,702) in compensation. That works out to $18,000 a year of slavery and about $38 change.
The girl, who has not been named, is thought to have been five years old when she arrived in the US. She was forced to clean, cook and take care of the couple's children for 16 years. They also confiscated her passport and denied her access to schooling.
Ahh, that's why they were finally scrutinized and not given the VIP treatment.
Southlake Teachers Union got involved.

Could we change the headline to "Foreign Couple Living in Texas..."? To even suggest they are "Texan" is ... unsavory.

According to Wikipedia, 86% of the population of Guinea is Muslim. Islam supports slavery. This is just their culture. We should not criticize or condemn it. /sarcasm

Okay, we now have a person who qualifies for reparations. This enslaved girl should be given everything the couple owns as well as as be a voting member of the parole board that oversees the couple.

Seeking Cure For Ignorance I grew up in South Alabama. We skied in the rivers but had to stop when the gators started coming back. Then we had to be very careful swimming in the ponds. Water moccasins and gators are just too much.

Poor Deacon Blues, cut you reminded me of this old joke:

One evening an old farmer went down to the pond...
Long
One evening an old Alabama farmer went to go down to the pond, as he hasn't been there in a while, he grabbed a five gallon bucket and some fruit. As he neared the pond, he heard some voices shouting and laughing. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted at him "we're not coming out until you leave!" The old man frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or get out of the pond naked". Holding the bucket up he said "I'm here to feed the alligator..."

[EDITION.CNN] The head of a shadowy North Korean dissident group wanted by US authorities for his connection to the raid on Pyongyang's embassy in Madrid in February is in hiding from North Korean hit squads, his attorney told CNN on Monday.
Andrew Hong, the leader of the group, Cheollima Civil Defense, was not in his apartment when US marshals arrived on Thursday and his lawyer, Lee Wolosky, said he does not know his client's current location.
Video of the encounter shared with CNN by a source close to Hong shows six uniformed officers entering the unit and shouting "police" before beginning a search.
US authorities' interest in Hong is not publicly known, but another Cheollima Civil Defense associate, Christopher Ahn, was enjugged Book 'im, Mahmoud! Thursday in Los Angeles on a provisional warrant from Madrid, law enforcement officials said.
"He certainly fears for his safety. We do have reason to believe that North Korean hit squads have been dispatched to target Mr. Hong and perhaps others, and he is taking necessary steps to evade those hit squads," Wolosky said.

"Members of the dissident group escaped from the compound in embassy vehicles with two thumb drives, two computers and two hard drives, the court documents say."
[DAWN] Nine-month-old infant Nashwa, who was left paralysed earlier this month after she was allegedly injected with the wrong dosage of a solution at the Darul Sehat Hospital in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , passed away on Monday.
The infant's father, Qaiser Ali, spoke briefly to news hounds after his daughter passed away this morning. "My daughter fought very hard but she lost," he said, overcome with emotion.
"Please do something so that another person's daughter is not lost," he pleaded. "Otherwise news reports like this will keep running, and officials will keep paying visits, but nothing will change."
A first information report registered by Ali on April 15 stated that on April 6, he had taken his twins to the hospital for treatment of diarrhoea.
On April 7, one of the two children, identified as Nashwa, was allegedly administered an overdose of potassium chloride (KCL) intravenously rather than via drip, the FIR said. Minutes later, her lips turned blue and she began having trouble breathing.
She was shifted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for 45 minutes, after which her breathing function was restored, and then placed on a ventilator.
On April 12, when Nashwa was taken off the ventilator, doctors informed the father that she "may have suffered a brain injury" due to lack of oxygen supply to the brain that might have been a result of CPR performed on her for 45 minutes.

[DAWN] Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Monday took notice of the alleged rape and murder of a female patient at a hospital in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , and demanded a detailed report of the incident, his spokesperson said.
Last week, the Awami Colony police had incarcerated You have the right to remain silent... a paramedical staff member of a hospital over allegations of causing the unintentional death of a 24-year-old woman by administering the "wrong solution" to her.
According to the victim's family, she was taken to a renowned hospital in Karachi's Korangi area for treatment of a gum infection but she ended up losing her life at the facility.

Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Monday took notice
[The Atlantic] Gérard Araud, the charmingly blunt French ambassador to the United States, is famous for two things: the lavish parties he hosts at his Kalorama mansion, and his willingness to say (and tweet) things that other ambassadors might not even think, much less state in public.
Araud ends his nearly five-year tenure in Washington today, and when I spoke with him last week, he was, even by his usual standards, direct to the point of discomfort. He told me his view of the U.S. (“The role of the United States as a policeman of the world, it’s over”) and Donald Trump (“brutal, a bit primitive, but in a sense he’s right” on free trade), and he shared his opinions of John Bolton (he’s a “real professional,” even though “he hates international organizations”) and Jared Kushner (“extremely smart, but he has no guts”).
He also had a warning to anyone who assumes it will be “business as usual” once America’s Trump fever breaks. The idea that the Trump presidency is some sort of accident, he says, is a fantasy.

Bayoumy: What’s the biggest misconception Americans have about the French, and vice versa?
Araud: There is a misconception about Trump which is American and French: saying Trump is an accident, and when Trump leaves power, everything will go back to business as usual. That’s the dream of Washington, D.C.
Diyala (IraqiNews.com) ‐ Iraqi Minister of Education and Scientific Research Qusay al-Suhail has ordered a probe into chants shouted by some university students in Diyala province in commemoration of former president Saddam Hussein and his Baath Party.
A number of students chanted pro-Baath slogans during a ceremony marking their graduation from the University of Diyala’s Faculty of Law.
"The repeated incidents of glorifying the tyrant (Saddam Hussein) and his Baath party during ceremonies held at universities are very dangerous," Alghad Press news website quoted Suhail as saying in a blurb on Monday.
"We do not rule out that some external and internal powers drive the youths to do such acts in violation of the law and the Constitution," the minister added.
Suhail further called on the security staff to "keep a watchful eye on the celebrations" held at the universities so as not to be exploited by the parties hostile to Iraq and its people.
After its interference in Iraq against Saddam Hussein in 2003, the U.S. issued a list of 55 wanted figures from Saddam’s government. Five of those, including Saddam, were executed, six were killed, eight died in jail and 16 were released before U.S. troops pull out in 2011.
Five Saddam aides are still on the lam, including his deputy, Ezzat al-Douro, who was declared dead several times but appeared recently in a video commemorating the establishment of Saddam’s now-defunct Baath Party.
