LEHIGHTON, Pa. (AP) – A northeastern Pennsylvania woman is behind bars after police said she beat her child with a baseball bat because of a clogged toilet.

Police say Christine Mertz from Mahoning Township hit the 15-year-old child twice on the right side with a baseball bat and had also twice bitten and punched the juvenile.

The child’s age and gender have not been released. Police said the child’s sibling witnessed the April 27 assault and said it was because of a backed-up toilet.

There is no picture of the woman in the story, so it is simply impossible to have any idea what she looks like, yet I get an image of that woman from Tom and Jerry that always beat Tom with a broom or rolling pin.

Let me guess, she’s a white middle aged Amish woman right?

How many more people have been victimized by Al Gore’s policies?

Did Al invent the 1.6 GPF toilet too?

[Jeff Chandler]

I hate clogged toilets.

I think I’ve found a new method of execution that Oklahoma can use.

And, they can start with this mother.

He was instrumental in advocating and passing the Energy Policy Act of 1992, which mandated those toilets.

That Act passed the Senate in July 1992, just weeks after Gore published his bestseller Earth in the Balance.

He promoted the Act in appearances, interviews, etc.

The Toto 1.6 gpf toilet works great. No credit to Algore.

... hit the 15-year-old child twice... The child’s age and gender have not been released.

Oops, it looks like the child's age was released after all.

[heartwood]

Even Toto’s 1.28 gpf works well.

Wow! Global Warming DOES extend farther than previously thought.
