But Seriously, Ståy Calm
Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood should probably take a PR class, or maybe just not talk so much.
“This killer is one of us,” Chitwood said. “He is our next-door neighbor. He is somebody we go to church with. It is somebody who is a respectable, decent human being on the outside. But on the inside, they are out there preying on women. He is dehumanizing women.
Umm, Senator Spector?
Wasn’t this the problem in the first place?
“There’s been a lot of favorable talk about Larry in the cloak room,” Specter told CNN.
How I Broke into My Own Apartment
It’s Sunday. The Buffalo Bills are playing at 1:00, and I can watch it on TV in DC for the first time since 2003. So of course, I need to get some Canadian beer.
I took Dirt McGirt to the corner store to buy a 6-pack of Molson with some chips & salsa. I have a ripe avocado in my kitchen, and I want to make some guacamole.
The trip to the store is routine, and I come back to my apartment at exactly 1:00. One problem, though: I have every key but the one to open the front door, which, I remembered, fell off earlier in the day. At the time I thought to myself, “I should really reattach that key before I go out again.” I never did, and now I was locked out of my own building.
Michael Vick is a sick bastard, but he’s getting needlessly crucified. In a useless hypothetical, would Brett Favre face 18-36 months in prison for the same or a similar crime? No. The owner of the Falcons said he was “not really surprised” Vick plead guilty, and there is rampant speculation about the remainder of Vick’s time in the NFL (likely none).
I (clearly) love animals, but especially dogs. I am disgusted that Vick would fight and kill these animals. But I think he should be given a shot to play in the NFL. Vick is likely never to do this shit again, but we’re still going to lock him up. No. Michael Vick should be allowed to apologize, pay a fine and do his probation, and he should still have a shot to keep his job.
Unfortunately, he’s got one arm nailed on his cross. The other should soon follow.
Detectives in the District of Columbia use a database of nicknames and aliases to track down criminals known by the street names to witnesses and members of the community. The repository includes names like “Fat Boy, Boo Boo, Meatball, Money Cash, Big Stupid, Butter, P-Funk, Dirt and Ed Lover.”
