Drunken Tales Of Idiocy, Part Two
Friday, June 26th, 2009Editor’s Note: Any similarities between the subject of this tale and Vincent Antonelli (above) are purely coincidental.
RICHFIELD, Wis., June 23 — Police in Wisconsin said they arrested a man who drunkenly tried to drive 40 miles home in a pilfered golf cart after being ditched by a group of “uncles.”

Michael Jackson, Dead At 50
Thursday, June 25th, 2009I am so trying not to snark about this.
It does appear that the old adage about celebrities dying in threes came true this week. First Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett, and now Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson, the show-stopping singer whose best-selling albums — including “Off the Wall,” “Thriller” and “Bad” — and electrifying [...]
Philadelphia Police Radio System Fails Again
Thursday, June 25th, 2009You know, it doesn’t take a detective to realize that the lifeline of the modern police officer is his or her radio.

FARGO, N.D. – Authorities said a Stark County sheriff’s deputy was arrested with his mother after the deputy vomited on people at a Kenny Chesney concert in Fargo and refused to leave.
Oh yeah, that’s gonna leave [...]
Pentagon Calls North Korean Threat “Silly”
Thursday, June 25th, 2009Really? Silly?? Is that how the Pentagon treats threats against our country now?
Maybe we should tell that to Hawaii on or about July 4th – the date when the North Koreans have threatened to launch a missile at the state? Hey, while we’re at it, maybe we can ask the murderous Iranians [...]

Jon And Kate Plus Hate
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009Normally, I would never post about these people, but this story finally gave me the brain aneurysm I so expected.
Let me be clear right from the start: I don’t watch the show with any regularity, but Mrs. Earp does – or did. What I know is from her word of mouth, news reports, and [...]
Humpday History Highlight
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009Instead of the usual clip from History.com, I decided to post another installment of “The Greatest Presidential Stories Never Told.” It is fast becoming one of my favorite books.

Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog!
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009Hey guys, what are you doing this July 4th? Well, if you are an Iranian diplomat, there is an open invitation to attend Independence Day festivities at American embassies.
You know, if you can stop killing your own citizens long enough to make the trip.
Or, if North Korea doesn’t launch a missile at Hawaii.
Iranians will [...]
