Prepare to have your heart warmed

Phillip Craig Garrido, the convicted rapist who is charged with kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard, keeping her locked up for eighteen years in a backyard camp, and fathering her two children, wants you to know that he did a "disgusting thing", but it's alright now, in fact it's better than all right, it's damn near miraculous, and "you are going to be completely impressed'' when you finally get the details from Jaycee Lee. "It's a disgusting thing that took place with me at the beginning,'' Garrido told KCRA TV. "But I turned my life completely around and to be able to understand that, you have to start there. And you're going to find the most powerful story coming from the witness, the victim - you wait. If you take this a step at a time, you're going to fall over backwards and in the end, you're going to find the most powerful heart-warming story." If the Feds will let him have a laptop, maybe he'll give details of this heartwarming story on his blog, Voices Revealed, where he posts under the name TheManWhoSpokeWithHisMind. "The Creator has given me the ability to speak in the tongue of angels in order to provide a wake-up call that will in time include the salvation of the entire world," Garrido writes in the final entry, just two weeks ago. It's fascinating stuff if you're at all interested in mental illness. Same goes for the comment thread, many of which were still being deleted (by the author? really?) as late as yesterday.
