“Bernie was doing research for a book he was doing on hypocrisy in America,” Doron Weinberg, who appeared in federal court today as Ward's lawyer,
said.
.
Research? That’s the oldest excuse in the book. And the dumbest. And the least likely to be true.
.
Here’s what pedophiles mean when they say they were doing “research:”
.
“I was researching how many 10MB images of raped children would fit on a 160GB hard drive.”
.
“I was researching just how hard seeing a child raped gets me.”
.
“I was researching how to rape a child.”
.
“I was researching the Justice Department’s reaction times.”
.
“I was researching what level of Hell pedophiles go to when they die.”
.
“I was doing preliminary research for my ultimate research goal: what happens to pedophiles in prison when their cellmate, Big Jimbo, finds out they like to rape children.”
.
It’s never, ever research. If someone has child pornography on their computer, they’re a pedophile.

“[RABID] is a novel quite unlike most standard commercial fare, a genre-bending story--part thriller, part literary slapdown with dialogue as the weapon of choice (think Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf)-- that makes us laugh, wince, and reflect all at the same time. Kenyon is definitely a keeper.” –Booklist Starred Review
