Wednesday Hodgepodge

Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving there won't be a "Random Thoughts" post so I figured I would just have a few here:

- I don't know about you all but I really enjoy Thanksgiving. A break from work to not only give thanks but spend time with the Three 'F's" Family, Food, and Football. We are going to my parent's house and should have a great day. I'm deep frying our Turkey and that doesn't work well in the rain, so lets hope the showers stay away.

-There have been a bunch of odd news stories recently and I have been thinking about bringing back my "hitting the high notes" segment again. Mt. Cat sent me one recently. Check out this article about a transgendered woman posing as a doctor who was arrested for giving breast exams in a bar. I mean who lets anyone give them a breast exam in a bar anyway? Here is her (or his) mugshot.

-I'm not one who is much for shopping anyway but the idea of "Black Friday" shopping terrifies me. The idea of a whole bunch of ladies hungover on tryptophan stampeding to get $5 laptops could easily be a horror movie.

-The results from my Pro Football Pick Em league have been interesting... As of today there is literally a three way tie for the lead. Evil Twin's Wife, Jayman, and myself are tied for the lead with the exact same score. Pretty amazing.

-On a related note, I am thinking about doing a Pick Em game fro College bowl Pickem so let me know if you are interested.

-While I was thinking of what to include in today's blog post I asked for suggestions on Twitter and my friend Dysfunctional Supermom suggested that I blog about her. So here goes: If you aren't already reading the great blog by the uncontested Supermommy of Dysfunction then you should be. Why? Because reading about the life of a woman who keeps trying on husbands and juggling her "spawn" across the United States is not only funny, but also entertaining... and if you pay close attention you may learn a thing or two while laughing along with her. Give her blog a read and maybe you too can become a "pantyliner"

-OK with that being said I have run out of random things to ramble about. I do hope that you all have a great Thanksgiving and travel safe if you are doing so.

Stuff I have read in the news lately that I thought I would share:

-So you think you have a drinking problem? I know somebody who just might. Meet Laura Hall who at 20 has the distinction of being the first person ever banned from every bar and pub in all of England and Wales. Umm just my opinion but if your partying antics are so legendary that the police know about you and have to ban you from all bars in the whole country before you are even 21 you might need to seek some help.

-Everyone has heard of the Donner Party right? The folks who legend says resorted to cannibalism to stay alive during their move from Illinois to California during the harshest winter ever on record. Maybe that was just an Urban (or rural) legend all along says this article about research done at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C.

-Here is an article about a recipe book that has Penguin publishers in Australia very embarrassed after a missed typo suggesting that a pasta dish required "salt and freshly ground black people" instead of freshly ground pepper. Umm hire a better proofreader guys.


-By now I bet most of you have heard about the guy in England who got arrested for DUI driving a pink Barbie kids car.

-One more mugshot for you... This is Julie Root a candidate for mother of the year who was arrested for child neglect when her sons were found outside playing in the rain wearing only their diapers. Umm Julie I think you heart the hippy lettuce just a little bit too much. Put down the ganja and TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS DAMMITT!!!!

-Last but not least you have to check out this article in which an Iranian cleric spells out exactly why there seem to be so many earthquakes recently. Promiscuous women of course. It's all you ladies fault (hee hee bad pun intended) that the earth is angry. Quit being such hoochies. Actually I was wondering if this was the case that bimbos cause earthquakes then why hasn't Hollywood fallen into the ocean yet?

Until next time keep reading the news!

Before I go running off on vacation I figured I would leave you with some stuff I have read in the news lately:

-In the spirit of Good Friday here is a story about how paintings of the Last Supper are showing the food being served has been supersized over the past one thousand years. So let me guess next they are going to try and blame childhood obesity on Jesus. Yeesh.

-A kind of gross story here about a woman accused of assaulting a police deputy by squirting her breast milk in his face. Eww.

-A strange story here about an elderly couple in Brooklyn NY who claim that the police have raided their house over 50 times for no reason. Odd, apparently a bunch of criminals have given out their address.

-I love this article about a filmmaker in South Carolina who made a parody movie called "The Hills have Thighs" and sold it to Showtime then was surprised when instead of playing his film the network showed a porn movie by the same title. Duh your movie was called "The Hills Have Thighs" (oh BTW the way the guy's name is Bubba and he used to be a SC state lawmaker.) I swear I am not making it up.

-Last one... This one was sent to me by the Mt. Cat who lives near this freak. According to this news article the reign of terror caused by the serial urinator is over. Yes this nasty dude Nitinkuma Patel apparently has a fetish for walking up to random women and peeing on them. Yuck! Well he has been arrested and it's almost fitting that the officer that caught him is named Mike Meyers because "The Serial Urinator" sounds like a criminal straight out of an Austin Powers movie. Officer Meyers' quote, " Patel was caught wearing "gray sweatpants with 'a large wet spot around his crotch area." Enjoy trying that in jail there buddy.

Until next time keep reading the news!

Stuff I have read in the news recently:

-My favorite is this little news item about the Anheuser-Busch company suing small company called Baby Beer Bottles for making exactly that. Beer bottles for babies. While I find this humorous I guess the Anheuser-Busch folks didn't like them selling a bottle called "Bunwiper" HA!

-Did you hear about this? One of Michael Jackson's nephews apparently bought a taser online and was chasing Blanket around with it. I can't make this stuff up you guys!

-By now I am sure you heard about one of the worst ideas for take your children to work day. Yep the Air traffic control tower at JFK airport is not the best place for kids. If you haven't heard about it give the article a read. An air traffic controller at JFK had his son on the headset giving clearance to taxi and takeoff to planes.

-Here is an article I found oddly creepy. It's about a convicted serial killer who actually was the winner on the 70's game show The Dating Game. Ummm bachelor # 1 do you like rape and murder?

-I know what Snooki has been doing in her spare time. Knitting!

-Be careful if you tell someone in a movie theater to stop talking on their cell phone. You might get stabbed in the neck with a meat thermometer. I still can't figure out why someone would have a meat thermometer in a movie theater unless it was to check exactly how freaking cold they had the AC turned down there. I have heard someone say "That theater felt like a meat locker" before.

Until next time Keep reading the news!

Here's the roundup of odd news stories I have seen recently:

-Here is quite a bizarre story that the Mt. Cat sent me about a woman who has been convicted in a stalking case. Who was she stalking? Herself.

-Why on earth does Susan Smith think she deserves a new trial? Go to hell Susan.

-Here's one where two Canadian teachers thought for some reason it was a good idea to perform a lap dance complete with grinding and simulated oral sex in front of a group of 13 year old students. Whats worse than that? There's video. Yep it's up on youtube.

-Some idiot legislators in Utah are actually thinking about having a state holiday for John Moses Browning (the inventor of the machine gun) on the same day already celebrated as Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Are you kidding me? Instead of being passively bigoted why not just go all out and also make it KFC and watermelon day as well? Geeze.

-There is going to be a mural of Michael Jackson done in New York City. Where will it be? In the Brooklyn subway station where the video "Bad" was filmed by Martin Scorsese of course. Little known fact about this video (and tidbit of useless knowledge that I posses) is that Prince was actually approached about playing the Wesley Snipes part in this video.

-And finally my favorite. There is a group of students at the University of Mississippi who are leading a movement to replace the old Colonel Reb mascot that is being fazed out with Admiral Akbar from Star Wars. Hilarious! "It's a TRAP!"

Until next time keep reading the news....

Good Morning and Happy Friday everyone. Time again for the round up of odd news stories and various other things that I have read recently. The past two Friday's we have had guest posts so it's been a little while. I have also decide to participate in Happy Hour Friday over on RxBambi's blog. Please stop by and pay her a visit for a drink:


OK so here we go:

-First off you really have to check out this video of a British female bobsledder who has a sort of unfortunate wardrobe malfunction. Well I guess depending on your point of view... LOL.

-Tell me if this is a good idea or not? Holiday Inn has decided to start adding a real touch of personal service in it's London hotels. Human Bed warmers. Yes you read that correct. If you don't like climbing into a cold bed then holiday inn will send one of it's staffers to your room dressed head to toe in fleece to lay in your bed to warm it up for you. Yep not making it up. Would you really want someone coming in and warming your bed for you?


-Here is some good news... Burger King is getting ready to start serving beer at some of it's restaurants. I guess they know their target demographics.

-This article will infuriate you. It's about an elementary school teacher arrested for creating a "Fight Club" at his school and encouraging kids as young as 9 to beat each other up. Can you say lawsuit?

-Here is a news story that I just find funny. Wisconsin man arrested for "Rocking out" to John Denver.

-With all the Super Bowl news this week I ran across a little nugget. According to this article we now know who all the strippers at Rick's Cabaret are pulling for in the Super Bowl. Jeremy Shockey and the Saints. I guess Peyton Manning doesn't spend his nights tucking $20s into g-strings.


-One last one here. This one is for the Mt. Cat. It seems as though according to this article that haggis is going to try and make a comeback here in the US where it is banned. I can't think of anything much more gross than sheep's innards stuffed inside it's stomach and served to eat. Mt. Cat on the other hand apparently enjoys this and has eaten it at the restaurant in the article... I say keep the ban.

Until next time keep reading and enjoying the news. Enjoy Happy Hour Friday everyone.

Stuff I have read about recently:

-Back in 1920 who would have ever thought that someday Canada would have to change the name of it's national pastime's magazine called "The Beaver" about the fir trade because Internet filters think it's about porn? Did they even have porn back in 1920? Anyway if you are a subscriber to "The Beaver" look for future publications to be called "Canada's History."


-The new list of words that should be banned from the English language is out from Lake Superior State University. Included are tweeting, teachable moment, toxic assets, shovel-ready, unfriended, any new czar, sexting, and anything that starts with Obama- such as Obamacare and Obamanomics. Now I have heard of most of these but not sure about sexting. If any woman knows what this is and wants to teach me about it I will be glad to give you my cell #. LOL!

-Did you all hear about this drunk driver in South Dakota with a blood-alcohol level of 0.708 percent ? Isn't that legally dead? Her mugshot is here to the right... YIKES she even looks like she should be dead.

-If you are thinking about pulling a practical joke let me just tell you this. It is a really bad idea in these days of Nancy Grace and Amber alerts to pull a prank by driving your 12 year old daughter down the road in your truck bound and gagged with duct tape. Idiot.

-One last one. This is a great story about the wife of one of Britain's parliamentary representatives from Northern Ireland whose wife Iris who is 60 just got caught having an affair with a 19 year old friend of the family. Talk about a Cougar! What's the ironic part of this story? Their last name is Robinson. Iris truly is Mrs. Robinson!

-Oh yes and I stole the Idea for Megan Fox Naked from my buddies Matt-Man and Jayman. Let the Hits roll in!

Later!

Hitting the high Notes - 12/31/09

OK let's close out the year with one final look at some odd news stories I have found in the past few weeks:

-Just had to share this one: Here is a quote from a Charlotte Observer online article about Tara Reid's Playboy Cover. "Um, Tara? We're very sorry about your botched plastic surgery, but we're not sure the way to show the world that you're okay is to be on the cover of Playboy sporting clown boobs and raccoon eyes and looking like you have to pee." HA! Sounds exactly like I wrote it but I didn't. Credit goes to someone named Andrea Reiher.

-You may want to think twice before sending your kid to this daycare. The owners were busted for selling moonshine right out of the area where the kids were kept. They confiscated 86 gallons of the hooch. Oh and by the way the owners say they were set up. Sure you were... You just keep on believing that!

-Nothing terribly exciting in this story about a couple of snatch and grab burglars at our local Tiffany store other than the name of one of the robbers. His name Dean Patrick Griswold. It seems that around Christmastime there is always something going on with the Griswolds. I think when you are blessed (or cursed) with the name Griswold you certainly have something to live up to in life. It seems Dean Patrick certainly is doing his part.

- What should we do to save the environment? Use "green" vibrators of course! The article details how the sex toy industry uses tons of batteries that make toxic waste and so an Irish company tho has created green vibrators. "You just flip out the handle, grab a hold of it there, and you just wind it," said Janice O'Connor, the co-founder with her husband Chris, of Caden Enterprises which makes the gadget.
"So for four minutes of doing that, you should generate enough power to give you 30 minutes of full-on, right-to-the top vibrations," she told AFP.
She added: "I've only used it a couple of times, and it's fantastic. It's very intense, and sometimes, at the top level, depending on the person that's using it, it can actually be too intense sometimes. So ladies, are you ready to switch for 2010?

-Finally another Charlotte story about our local politician idiot Bill James. This guy is famous here locally for his intolerance of others and he may have gone over the top this time. During a County commission meeting where same sex partner benefits were being debated another commissioner whose son had died of AIDS was speaking. After she was finished this guy Bill James had the nerve to ask. "Your son was a homo, really?" At first he tried to deny it but it was caught on tape. I mean for real, no matter what your stance on the matter is that is just plain classless.

OK that's hitting the high notes for now... We will be back in 2010 with plenty of other odd news and morons doing stupid stuff. Enjoy!

Things I have read in the news recently that I thought might interest you:

-How would you like being adopted and later finding out that your father is Charles Manson? As someone who was adopted I figure that my reaction would be just about as strong as poor Matthew Roberts did. Yikes!

-You say that you don't know who Sarah Henderson is? Well I didn't either until I read this article. It seems that Sarah's daddy Fritz is newly resigned (or fired) CEO of General Motors and she is really not happy about it. And I mean really. What was her response? She took to facebook and posted a profanity laced tirade that would make Richard Pryor proud on GM's own fan page! Give it a read it's hilarious and sounds just like a spoiled teenage girl ranting. I think she is even trying to be funny by using the word 'shift' in an interesting way. Either that or she was drunk and can't type. Which is possible too.

-Apparently raging bulls injured people on the set of Tom Cruise's new movie being filmed in Spain. The Spanish government has shut down filming citing safety concerns. My question is this. Since when is Spain concerned about safety when bulls are running loose and have they ever thought about shutting down Pamplona?

-Here is a local story from Charlotte, NC about a new high school they will be building. What is so odd about this you ask? Well there is a huge controversy because of who they want to name the school after. No they aren't trying to name it after Jesse Helms, this school is meant to honor a principal named W.A. Hough Jr. who was instrumental in the integration of the schools. The controversy come in with parents who are worried that that their children will be made fun of because their kids may be going to "Ho High." Even though this Principal's name is pronounced "Huff." Seriously people get a life.

-Wanna see Paula Deen get hit in the head with a ham?

-OK wrapping things up with a story of small town corruption. Nothing newsworthy here you say? I say dig a little deeper. Remember back to 1994 when Susan Smith claimed that a black man kidnapped her two children when in fact she had drowned them in a lake? The case was national news and one of the main figures was Sheriff Howard Wells who basically broke the case and got Susan to confess. He was hailed as a hero at the time. Oh how times have changed. It seems that the good sheriff is in trouble with the feds for among other things tax evasion. And I always thought he was a good guy.

Until next time... keep reading the news!

OK, so here are a few odd things I read the news recently:

-First, just saw this article today about those Somali Pirates again. It seems that these idiots still haven't found Captain Jack Sparrow with their compass that points to nowhere because the big dummies tried to hijack the Maersk Alabama again. Don't they remember the last time they hijacked this ship? These guys are dumber than Captain Hook.

-If you are going to accused of a crime I guess now there is a new way to prove your innocence. Facebook! Check out this article about a guy arrested on robbery charges was set free due to his facebook status. And you thought Facebook only got you in trouble... Of course if Facebook becomes an acceptable method of giving an alibi then the hope is still alive that someday in court an attorney may channel Johnnie Cochran and cry, "If it was on Facebook, then he's off the hook!"

-Here is a run of the mill story about University of Tennessee football players getting arrested for armed robbery. Nothing odd about that you say? It's pretty run of the mill for those thugs right? I thought the same thing until I read deeper into the article.

According to the police report, the
victims of the robbery were in their car outside a Pilot convenience store,
parked next to a Toyota Prius, when a black male approached
wearing a hooded sweatshirt, brandishing what appeared to be a handgun, opened
the driver's side door and said "Give me everything you have." A second black
male also wearing a hooded sweatshirt then came around to the passenger side of
the victims' car, opened it and said, "Give us everything you've got."
But
when the victims opened their wallets and showed they had no money, a third
black male approached the other two and said "we've got to go," and all three
got into the Prius and drove away, according to the police
report.
Police said when they pulled over the Prius, they
found a black air-powered pellet gun and a pair of hooded sweatshirts.

This made me laugh out loud. These are new age gangsters. They have gone green! Now how many hardened criminals do you know who try and pull off armed robberies with a Prius? This is hilarious to me. Hey if you are gonna commit crimes at least take care of the environment why don't you? I guess the thought is if they get into a car chase they can outrun the copy on gas mileage. Is it just a coincidence that this crime happened to be in Al Gore's home state of Tennessee?

-Kind of a scary article here about some Russian cannibals who cooked and ate a guy they killed and then SOLD parts of the dead body to a kiosk that makes kabobs... YIKES and you thought the food court at your local mall was a health hazard!

-Don't know if you heard about this or not but it finally happened. A contestant has died on one of those crazy reality shows called Wipe Out. This show is fashioned after Japanese game shows that have very elaborate physical challenges involving knocking the participants off obstacles into water and mud and look very dangerous.

-Finally here is a story I find a tad bit humorous. The FBI is now looking for a serial bank robber who they have dubbed the "Geezer Bandit." He has apparently knocked over five banks in the San Diego California area. Hey Congress, If you don't fix social security this is what the elderly are going to have to resort to! What a classic name. The Geezer Bandit!

Until Next time.. enjoy what you read in the news!

First of all a big thank you to all our Veterans on Veterans Day. The service you have given can never be fully re payed

Now on with my take on the news:

-So you want to send your kid to Duke University for the quality education huh? How would you feel about your daughter participating in a University funded study on the effects of sex toy parties on students attitudes about sex? As if college students weren't already in enough of a sexually charged atmosphere as it is lets introduce them to sex toy parties! Does anyone else think this might be a bad idea?

-On Sunday a deer got into the lions den at the Washington National Zoo in front of visitors including children and they got a lesson in what the wild is really all about. The deer did put up a good fight for survival and to be fair the lions did not actually eat it.

-It seems like the folks at Kraft foods don't like getting no for an answer. The US Food maker of such treats as Oreos and Miller Beer is making a hostile takeover bid for British candy maker Cadbury. Apparently somebody at Kraft reaaaaaly likes those nasty Creme Eggs.

-Speaking of Candy. Connecticut is experiencing a serious crime wave recently. Instead of robbing banks or liquor stores apparently the serious hard core gangstas in that area are into stealing chewing gum at an alarming pace. Rumor is that the Double mint twins are scared to visit Connecticut for fear of being kidnapped.

-Here is a quote from disgraced former beauty pageant and same sex marriage opponent Carrie Prejean taken from the Today Show :
“There is an extreme double standard that conservative women are under attack for whatever it is,” Prejean told Vieira. “If Sean Hannity went out there and said some of the things that Keith Olbermann has said about me, if he says anything about [Sonia] Sotomayor, Michelle Obama, he would be off the air. Why is there this double standard?" - Ummm Carrie ya know the difference is that Justice Sotomayor is well a like you know Supreme court Justice and Michelle Obama well like umm she is the like First Lady of the US and junk and you well you are a sanctimonious hypocritical former Miss California who thinks that anyone who disagrees with your prehistoric views on gay marriage is out to get you. Trust me if Sotomayor or Obama had made a sex tape they would be much bigger news than you.

-Amazing story here about a teenager who got stuck on an ice floe with three polar bears. He was trapped there for over a day on the freezing ice with them after his snowmobile broke down.... Good thing he had a gun.

-I read today where we had some hikers get arrested for espionage in Iran. The question I had was when did hikers all of a sudden become international spies? Because didn't we just have to send Slick Willy over to North Korea to free a couple of hikers a couple of months ago who got arrested for the same thing? Hiking has gotten kind of a bad rap recently hasn't it? Didn't SC Governor Mark Sanford try to say that he was hiking when he was really really South of the border? Hiking seem to pretty dangerous stuff these days. I guess if you plan to go hiking you better take several kinds of protection with you.

Until Next time...

Here is this weeks smorgasbord of odd stuff:

-A million nerds are in mourning after the death this week of Gary Gygax, who co-created the fantasy game Dungeons & Dragons and is widely seen as the father of the role-playing games. How much you wanna bet they make some kind of a creepy shrine or dungeon dedicated to him in his home town of Milwaukee?

-If you have ever worried that you are a bad parent, or thought that you had the worst parents in the world fear not! All you need to do is meet "The Worst Mommy in the World" from Orlando Florida. This disgrace to humanity decided because her 2 year old daughter was throwing a temper tantrum that she would punish her by spraying her with a high-pressure water hose at an Orlando car wash....Yeah you read that right, one of those car wash hoses. Thank goodness the security cameras caught her so there is proof... The video showed the child trying to hide her face while the woman pinned her to a wall and sprayed her at close range. The Sheriff's Office Child Abuse detectives are still investigating the criminal portion of this case. I say let me do the investigation on this one this woman doesn't deserve to be a parent.

-From the "Uh No thank You" department: The Seattle Biomedical Research Institute will pay volunteers as much as $4,000 to be bitten by mosquitoes infected with malaria. Ummmm I prefer my tropical diseases to stay where they are, in the tropics so I think I will have to pass.

-Whoever came up with this list of the worst nude scenes in cinematic history obviously never saw the movie "Borat". I dare anyone to disagree with me.

-This dude is braver than me: The divorce of Anton Popazov and his wife, Nataliya, is about to go through, but the couple are still contractually committed to the Moscow State Circus, where their act includes Nataliya's shooting an apple off of Anton's head with a crossbow. The Times of London asked Anton during a show in Sheffield, England, in February whether he was afraid. "I still trust her because Nataliya is very professional," he said. "(T)he show must go on." [The Times (London), 2-12-08]

From time to time I come across stuff that I want to blog about but have no real place to put it... they aren't random thoughts and usually aren't big enough for a single blog post so I save them up and post sort of a smorgasbord of interesting stuff and I call it "hitting the high notes"... Here goes:

-Maxim Magazine is pretty embarrassed after admitting that they gave the Black Crowes a lukewarm review on their new album - Without even listening to the whole thing... Uhh Maxim I know your goal in life is to be Playboy lite but come on at least have some shred of legitimacy.

-Boy George denies imprisoning Norwegian man at his London home - I am sorry but I just find that headline funny as heck.

-Students at Chapel Hill high School were recently busted in a HUGE cheating scandal. Now I know you say this kind of thing happens all the time but the ironic thing is that this particular high school is supposed to be the toughest most academically prestigious high school in the entire state of North Carolina. They are a public high school who thinks of themselves as a private school. If you get a chance read the article these kids were apparently passing a master key to the school around for years and getting tests ahead of time. It's a big mess and couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of stuck up elitists.

-Did you guys know that the states of Georgia and Tennessee are apparently about to go to war with one another? Apparently somebody in the 1800s messed up and part of Tennessee is actually Georgia's and they want to annex a good portion of the Tennessee river... It may turn into a mini civil war... what do you think about that MickyT ??

-You have got to be kidding me. It's a doggone chartbuster -- a song audible only to dogs has topped New Zealand record charts, and is looking to go global. A Very Silent Night, recorded at a frequency only dogs can hear, was so popular among owners it hit number one at Christmas I don't make these things up folks I just report them. And please don't tell me that you would actually pay money to download this song that only your dog can hear... Yeesh

-I hate to say I told you so but... remember that guy who got mauled at the San Fran zoo by the tiger. I blogged about it here. Well sure enough I was right and the "victim" was drinking an taunted the tiger... Once again I say this is just nothing more than Darwin's natural selection at it's finest.

-And finally there was an incident in Arlington Oregon recently where the Mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist was forced from office because there was a racy picture of her posing in bra an panties on a firetruck. Where was this picture found? You guessed it On her Myspace page. Now granted I guess the residents of Arlington Oregon (all 500 of them) have the right to recall their Mayor for whatever reason they want to but I will show the picture here so you can decide for yourself how "racy" it is. But the moral of this story is this... ADULTS SHOULDN'T USE MYSPACE - NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OUT OF IT. The only exception is if you are just checking up on your kids...because not much good can come from them using it either. Here is the picture:

Weekly Odd News Roundup 1/18

Hitting the high notes:
-First some sad news, The founder of the company that brought us the hula-hoop and the Frisbee passed away this week.
-According to this article you now know who to blame if you get Syphilis. Blame Christopher Columbus, it's all his fault. But you better not try and tell that to Tony Soprano's gang, they don't like ole Chris' reputation tarnished.
-NORRISTOWN, Pa. - A man who mailed a bloody cow's head to his wife's lover has been sentenced to probation and community service. Jason Michael Fife "understands that in a civilized society a person cannot send a severed cow's head to anybody," said his defense lawyer, Henry Hilles. "My client did step over the line here, but one can certainly understand his frustration, given that the victim was carrying on an affair with my client's wife," Hilles said.Well that pretty much sums it up. I feel safer don't you? YIKES !!
-This story will scare the hell out of you. A construction worker claimed that when he went to a hospital after being hit on the forehead by a falling wooden beam, emergency room staffers forcibly gave him a rectal examination. And this was NY Presbyterian hospital. It appears that this guy REALLY didn't want the exam and ended up assaulting the doctor. It's going to court as a lawsuit. How would you like to be on that jury? If there is something worse than a "forced rectal examination" I certainly can't think of what it is.
