I didn't have enough time to blog yesterday, but I did save the news I was going to write about. So to quote Nacho Libre, today's blog will be "especially delicious".
Also, as I have noticed that either my readership has grown (unlikely) or the same people are constantly checking the blog for news. I am getting about 20 hits a day now. With this in mind, please send me comments either about the articles or with new ideas for the blog. I am trying to fiddle around with the formatting, but i'm only so technically gifted. Post ideas, comments, whatever.
First things first, I wanted to update you on the Wal-Mart story from last week. Wal-Mart announced yesterday that they reversed their decision to take back the money the disabled woman's family received in their settlement.
If you don't know to what I am referring to, check out my post from 3/26 in the archives.
I think it is very nice that Wal-Mart changed its mind, but I don't feel the need to applaud them for anything. I highly doubt this would have come about without external pressure from the media running the story.
A New Zealand constable, who apparently sleeps in the nude, awoke to find his car being stolen. Without giving a second thought to clothes or shoes, the man grabbed a flashlight and ran after the thieves. He gave chase to his stolen car in the nude until police aprehended the suspects when they fled the vehicle. Apparently the naked man chasing them all over town freaked them out.
Two cops in Lake Charles, LA got an easy drug bust yeterday. They pulled over a vehicle whose driver did not have a liscense or registration. They assumed the car was stolen and called the owner to verify if it was missing. No one answered, so the officer left a voice message. In the meantime, they determined that the car was not stolen, and that the man was a friend of the owner.
The owner of the car, mistakenly thought the voice mail left by the cops was from a drug dealer, (which is odd, since you would think they would have said something along the line of "its the police calling") and called the cop back. When he answere the caller stated they wanted to buy some crack. The office set up a meet and arrested the owner and her husband.
Dumbass.
The marriage age has been reset in Alaska. Law makers recently corrected a mistake in their wording that for the past year has technically allowed anyone "under 18 who is NOT pregnant to marry with parental permission" this included toddlers of course.
Alaskan toddlers are planning a demonstration at the liberal giving and taking away of their rights.
Finally a 76-year old Serbian farmer, who was recently divroced by his wife, has been court ordered to giver her half of everything. The man offered to share with her everything he had earned in their 45 years of marriage, but was furious at being asked to give away half his farming equipment. So this pimp of a man said "fine" I'll give you half (I'm paraphrasing). The man bought a metal grinder and cut all of his farming tools in half, includin machinery such as his cattle scales and a sowing machine.
I applaud this man for just saying "fuck it" and not letting his ex or the courts get the best of him. He is by the the hero of today.
Side note: Who gets divorced at 76?
The Orioles won their first game of the season. GO O'S!
That's all for today. Leave a post if you dare.
Keepin it real from the loop.
