1. WCAX - State Police say they picked up a Swanton woman for driving drunk twice in one night.  Police say earlier this week they stopped 26-year-old Raven Hoague, for operating erratically on Lake Street in St. Albans. She was arrested, cited into court and released to some friends. Police say Hoague then got into a fight with those friends and ran back to her vehicle and drove again. Troopers caught up to her on Fisher Pond Road, in St. Albans, and charged her with DUI again. Police say this time she also tested positive for using drugs.

Listen I don’t want to defend drinking and driving but this bitch got screwed.  I mean everybody knows you can’t be convicted of two DUI’s in one night.   At least not unless you’ve been given amble time to sober up and then get shitfaced again.  It’s like double jeopardy or some bull shit like that. 1 DUI per 1 drunk session.  .   That’s just the way it goes.    So yeah pin the first one on this bitch but the 2nd one is on the cops.   That’s what they get for letting her drunk ass friends bail her out.    Jack Diamond was probably giggling like a little school girl when he read this one.

2. ESPN - Philadelphia woman has accused Memphis Grizzlies guard Marko Jaricof sexual assault, multiple sources familiar with the investigation told SI.com. The incident allegedly occurred in February when the Grizzlies were in Philadelphia to play the 76ers. Jaric is a seven-year NBA veteran who is in his first season with the Grizzlies. Last month Jaric married longtime girlfriend and Brazilian supermodelAdriana Lima.

Now I know what everybody is going to say.   Wow Marko Jaric is an idiot.   How could he cheat on Adriana Lima blah, blah, blah.   Well not me.  Clearly Adriana Lima is a dead fish in the sack.  She thinks she can just throw her glove on the field and be a good fuck.  Well that’s not how it works.   Looks will only get you so far.   Bottom line is if you’re not into sucking dick or anal then your man is going to cheat on you.  So let this be a lesson to all chicks out there.  You want to keep your man from sexually assaulting chicks?    Be a freakshow in the sack.    Because if Adriana Lima can’t keep her man from cheating with looks alone then you have no fucking shot.   Here endth the lesson.

3. DADE CITY -- It all started about 7 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said, when a mother looked outside and saw her 19-year-old son masturbating in the back yard. The mother yelled. The son, Antwan L. Grandberry, 19, walked around to thefront of the house on 13th Street in Dade City and rang the doorbell, according to a Dade City Police report. The mother answered and began cursing and yelling at Grandberry, who then punched his mother in her face, the report said. Grandberry, who is listed as unemployed, was arrested on a domestic battery charge and is being held in the Land O'Lakes jail in lieu of $500 bail.

I don’t want to say this mother deserved to get punched in the face, but at the same time she totally did.   I mean everybody knows this is one those issues that you deal with in the clubhouse.  You don’t start screaming out the window or cursing him out in public.  It’s embarrassing.   You got to wait until he’s done and then you call him into your office and explain to him that beating off in the backyard is unacceptable.   That’s how you motivate a guy.   You don’t go running to the newspapers like this.   So I’d be pissed to if I was this kid.   This mother has a lot to learn about being a leader.

4. Cincinnati.com - John Spinnie may be an accused thief, but he was one who wanted to get to court. So badly that he stole a car, said Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor Betsy Sundermann this morning. Spinnie, 42, of Norwood, is accused of stealing a Chevrolet Uplander Tuesday in order to get to his 9 a.m. arraignment at the Hamilton County Justice Center. He was due there to face on a judge on a charge of receiving stolen property filed Monday in which he was accused of stealing $1,800 worth of jewelry. But Spinnie never made it to his hearing. A Cincinnati police officer spotted him driving the Uplander Tuesday morning outside the justice center and arrested him on a charge of receiving stolen property. Spinnie told the officer he paid an unknown man $10 to use the vehicle.

Wait a minute.  Did this guy steal the car or did he pay some unknown man 10 bucks to borrow it?  Big fucking difference right?   Either way I feel this guys pain.   I mean it’s the classic Catch 22 situation.  Do you steal/borrow a car so you can get to court or do you skip your court appearance because you can’t get there?  Tough one, but I think this guy made the right choice.     I mean what’s that old expression?   You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.    If this guy just skipped his court date he 100% would have been thrown in jail.  At least this way he gave himself a chance and that’s all you can really ask for in life. 

5. Bostonherald.com - The ticketholders were told to report to the Museum of Science 2 hours before showtime where they had to surrender their cell phones and cameras and board buses for the theater. At 7:45 p.m. we spotted five charter buses leaving the museum - with a motorcycle cop escort. The final stop on U2’s “3 Nights Live” promo tour, the show featured a filmed 30-minute Q and A session and an absurdly awesome five-song set: “Get on Your Boots,” “Magnificent,” “Breathe” and “I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight,” all from new album “No Line on the Horizon,” and “Vertigo.”

Hey I heard this crazy rumor that U2 was in Davis Square last night playing the Somerville Theater.   Is that true? Did anybody else hear anything about that?    Seriously what the fuck?    Yeah I like U2, but give me a break.  I mean people are acting like this was the greatest day in the history of Boston or something.   Sorry if I’m not freaking out about some concert where they play five songs I’ve never heard of and you need to get bused in from the Museum of Science.  Sounds like a pain in the ass if you ask me.  Don’t get me wrong I like U2, but there are about 50 bands I’d rather see play before them and that’s when U2 is playing their good shit.  And before the “you got to see them live” crowd pipes up I did see them live at the Silverdome back in college and I was totally and completely unimpressed.   Again I like them.  I think they’re a great band but I just don’t get why this was front page news on every news outlet in the city.  Is it just because they’re Irish and this is Boston?   

6. PITTSFIELDA woman who allegedly intended to artificially inseminate her wife with her brother's semen has been charged with domestic assault and battery.  Jennifer A. Lighten, 33, told police that Stephanie Lighten, her wife, was "all liquored up" when she returned to their Lincoln Street apartment, where the defendant then allegedly tried to use a syringe to inseminate her, according to a police report.  Jennifer told investigating officers that Stephanie "has been talking about trying to impregnate (her) for some time," police said.  "Jennifer said that Stephanie had a 'turkey baster and her brother's semen in a sealed container.' Jennifer said she told Stephanie that she didn't want to get pregnant." That's allegedly when Stephanie threw Jennifer on the couch, grabbed at her clothes and threatened to impregnate her, police said. Jennifer broke free, ran into the  bathroom and locked the door. Stephanie "then broke the bathroom door down," police said, hurting her wrist in the process. When Stephanie went to retrieve an ice pack from the freezer, Jennifer bolted from the apartment and attempted to get away in the couple's sport utility vehicle, police said. As Jennifer pulled away from the scene, Stephanie "jumped on the side of their vehicle, swung the door open and made (Jennifer) stop," Steinman said. According to Officer John Bassi, a witness at the scene claimed Stephanie "was hanging on the SUV door handle, trying to get into the car." Amber Hunt told Bassi that Stephanie nearly caused an accident when the vehicle narrowly missed hitting a tree in the front yard of Hunt's Spring Street home. Detective Thomas H. Harrington said Jennifer Lighten declined "to go forward with charges of assault with intent to rape" because she did not believe "Stephanie was going to sexually assault her with the syringe."

Yawn.  Do me a favor and wake me up when we have an interesting story today.   Seriously how did this story even make the newspapers?   I mean if we made a big deal out of every time a lesbian tried to impregnate her wife with her brother’s semen using a turkey baster that’s all we’d ever hear about on the news.   I mean this shit happens every day.  Granted the part about Stephanie breaking down the bathroom door and then jumping on a moving car was a nice touch but still it’s just your run of the mill domestic dispute.     Happens all the time.   

PS – I know what people are thinking.  If Stephanie wants a kid so bad why doesn’t she just impregnate herself?   Well obviously she wants to keep her DNA in the family.  So she can’t use her brother’s semen on herself because then it would be incest and the kid would be all deformed like it was from West Virginia or something.    Either that or she’s just a pussy and doesn’t want to go through the pain of childbirth.  But I’m leaning towards the first hypotheses.

7. Rivals.com - This was a "teaching" moment that comes up for high school coaches from time to time. You know, one of those, "We just got a bad break, and that's life, we have to deal with it."  On March 5 in Cut Bank, Mont., Isaiah Martin, a 5-foot-11 senior guard for Harlem's boys basketball team, dunked during warmups for a high school tournament game with Shelby. There was a shower of glass as the backboard shattered. Harlem had to forfeit the game. According to the Montana High School Association, dunking is not allowed in pregame warmups in tournament play. If a backboard is damaged by a pregame dunk, the offending school must forfeit. The rule was put in 10 years ago.   "I was stunned," Coach Mount said. "At first, the tournament official came to our locker room and said it would probably be a technical for breaking the backboard. Then he came back and asked me to step outside with him. It was in the rule book, in black and white.  If a backboard is broken with a dunk in a game, Mount said there is a technical called, but it is not a forfeit. He wonders why there is a difference. Mount said he told his team no dunking in pregame warmups, but when he got to the tournament there were other teams dunking in pregame. He told his kids it was OK.

As crazy as it sounds I’m kind of torn on this one.   Yeah this obviously sucks and at first blush it seems ridiculous that a team would have to forfeit a game for breaking a backboard in warm-ups.  But a rule is a rule.  I mean giving a team a technical isn’t going to stop it so if you really want to prevent dunking in warm ups you got to go with something crazy like this.  And it sounds like the coach knew his team wasn’t supposed to be jamming, but he let it slide.   Bottom line is that nobody will ever fuck this up again in Montana and that’s kind of the point.  Sure it sucks for Harlem, but what are you going to do?   You can’t just make an exception or act like the rule doesn’t exist because it won’t stop it from happening.   Now if you want to debate whether kids should be allowed to dunk in warm-ups that’s a totally different discussion, but I’m working on the premise they have reasons for this rule existing like they can't afford to fix shit like this and it wasn’t a secret.   So yeah it sucks but so does life.

8. The Herald - L.A. street artist Shepard Fairey is getting more attention - though not the kind he usually seeks - from Boston cops who are slapping more paper on the notorious graffiti artist. The BPD has charged Fairey with vandalizing 29 Hub properties, including parking meters and buildings, with stickers and posters of his world-famous, iconic Obama “Hope” image and his “Obey” tag. He plastered the Hub with his graffiti art to beef up his image in the street art subculture and promote a local art exhibit “at the expense of public and private property owners,” Detective William Kelley wrote in a police report that lists all 29 locations, mostly in the Back Bay. Fairey... sneered at the new charges, suggesting they are a badge of honor. “I can only assume that the gratuitous piling on of felony charges by the Boston Police is related to my long-standing advocacy as an ARTIST for the idea that public visual space should be filled with more than just commercial advertising,” he said in an e-mail.

Let me start by throwing out the disclaimer that I know there are much bigger problems in the world than spray paint on brick walls. We've got economic collapse and people stealing hundreds of millions from charities and terrorists and war and the demise of "Heroes." I get that. Now that we've acknowledged that, are there enough bad things the Boston PD can do to this self-righteous little jagoff? Not just because he's nothing but a common vandal, a worthless defacer of other people's property, Ernest T. Bass armed with stensils and spray paint instead of bricks who wrecks the quality of life for others. But maybe even more than that, they should lock him up and swallow the key just for that email. Just for calling himself an "ARTIST" (capitals his). What I don't know about art could fill a library, but I know this isn't it.

When I was going to Weymouth South High, we made a lifestyle out of scribbling dicks on each other's books. Left your book unguarded in study hall and you came back to find hastily drawn dicks all over it. Brought up your tray in the cafeteria and there were hundreds of pen-scratched dicks on your notebook. Passed your homework forward and the guys in front of you would cover it with dicks before it ended up in the teachers hand. All this time I thought we were just being obnoxious high school kids. But I declare retroactively I was being an ARTIST for the idea that school books should be filled with just more than trigonometry and Western Civ. Friggin' wanker. Go back to LA and wreck your own house, Fairey.

9. Noiseaddicts- Music and sound can have a powerful effect on the mind. A slow, light song can relax you, a happy, upbeat song can give you energy, and a good driving song can make your journey seem half as long. A song from a tape that you completely wore out in high school can bring you back instantly. A researcher in Tokyo, Japan who studies the mind and artificial intelligence has taken this one step further. He is trying to show not only that music and sound can affect your mind, but that it can also make physical changes to your body. The experiment goes like this: In Japanese cities, people use cell phones. A LOT. It’s not uncommon for people in Tokyo to hear their cell phone ring 20-40 times per day. Hideto Tomabechi, one of the guys who helped deprogram members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult in Japan, has embedded a sound in a ringtone that fools your mind into interpreting it as a crying baby.  The hypothesis is that if women’s minds and bodies respond to the ringtone in the same way that they are known to respond to a real crying baby, then they will experience the same physiological effects as if they heard the real thing .  If it’s heard often enough, over time their breasts will grow.

A cell phone that makes chicks boobs grow?   Are you shitting me?   This is fucking brilliant! I swear to god the fact that we beat Japan in WWII has to be the greatest upset in the history of the world.   I mean how did we invent the Atom Bomb before they did?   Seriously it makes Tyson/Douglas and the Miracle on Ice look like child’s play.   I just hope they never decide to attack us again because it would be over before it even started.  You can’t compete against a country that has figured out how to make chicks boobs grow naturally.  No way, no how.

10. COTUIT - On a recent Sunday morning, 30-year-old Nicole Lamarche, a former Miss California, stood before a crowd in a simple clapboard church next to a local watering hole. She wore high-heeled boots, her thin figure draped in a black robe. "I feel so lucky to be your pastor," she proclaimed.Lamarche became minister of Cotuit Federated Church two years ago, shaking up its stodgy routine and causing quite a stir in this quiet Cape Cod village of about 2,600 year-round residents. She says four parishioners defected early on, after people Googled her name and discovered her beauty pageant past, but these days residents credit Lamarche with injecting new dynamism into the town and the church. Lamarche says she understands that for some the "pastor in a swimsuit thing" is hard to swallow, but she simply needed the money. Loyal members of her congregation accept her explanation, buoying her spirits. Plus, says Lamarche, "If you can walk on a stage in your swimsuit, you can do anything."... "Just listen to it," said Pam Bode, a member of the church since 1985. "This is a church that has come alive." "She's good for God," agreed Norman Knight, a 79-year-old retired welder, one of about a hundred regular members of the church who now attend weekly.

For openers, the good Rev. Lamarche can knock it off with this "I needed the money" business. Her winning the Miss California contest wasn't a mistake; it was God's will. The Good Lord only makes so many Miss California-caliber beauties, and by winning the pageant Nicole was an instrument of His divine plan. And now she's serving the Lord further by being the hot minister who puts asses in the seats every Sunday. My in-laws live in Cotuit so I know of what I speak when I say that churches on the Cape are run like businesses. Or like the Mob. You want to stay in racket, you've got be an earner. They're all about bringining in the big money rich Cape donors. They're as much about profits as they are about prophets. We got married at Christ the King in Mashpee... Vatican West... and believe me the priest who ran the place didn't get there by how well he did the benediction. He's got the big parish because he's not shy about grabbing you by the ankles and shaking the loose change out of your pockets. It's an arms race among the Cape churches and Rev. Nicole Lamarche is a nuke. She's got 79 year old welders showing up every week just to put money in her collection plate and tell her dirty stories in the confessional. It's an ingenious hiring job by the Federated Church when you think about it because first she creates the sin... causing you lusting after her and coveting her goods and so on... then she can absolve you of it. You create the market, then you fill the demand. It's the perfect business model. Then there's the hope that maybe, just maybe, she'll give a homily in the swimsuit. Because covering up those abs is the real sin.

11. TULSA, OK -- After winning $2,000 at Tulsa’s Creek Nation Casino, one gambler’s luck turned when his money allegedly was taken by two women he took to his home. Eamon Henson invited the two women to gamble and then to go his home, in the 3700 block of South Knoxville Avenue, for drinks early Monday, Tulsapolice reported.  The women told Henson, 39, that they were massage therapists, but after removing the man’s pants, the women left with his cash and other items about 4:15 a.m. Monday, police said.  A police officer arrested two women fitting their descriptions at a nearby convenience store about4:45 a.m.  Lashell Amber Averill (left) and Lashyla Harmony Alvarez (right), both 21, had a large amount of cash with them, police said. Marijuana, scales and several plastic bags were found in their vehicle, police said.   Averill was arrested on larceny and drug complaints, with bail set at $10,000. Alvarez also faces a larceny complaint and is being held in lieu of $2,500 bail, jail records indicate.

Well this is what we in the degenerate community refer to as a good old fashioned “win/lose”.  Win at the blackjack table/poker table/nickel slots, etc. Lose it all on "massage therapists". Unfortunately, tiz' the life of a degenerate. One second you're up 2 grand awaiting the handjob of a lifetime, the next second you're lying in bed flat-broke, piss drunk with your pants down in Oklahoma. Hey, it's happened to the best of us. As my dad once told me, "Just try not to let it happen more than once."

12. NY Post - Love is in the air between the Yankees and Red Sox. Maybe "love" is a little strong, but Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis don't mind saying they have formed a bond with Derek Jeter as members of Team USA for the World Baseball Classic... Pedroia recently set the tone when he posted a deodorant ad in his locker. In the ad, Jeter is standing outside Fenway Park, and the message says, "Every day is a walk in the park. Even this park." Jeter couldn't help but laugh at Pedroia's posting. "You get to know guys playing against them, as players," Jeter said. "But one of the good things about something like this is you get an opportunity to put personalities with the players."

So this is how far Derek Jeter has sunk after eight years of futility. The one-time "Most Respected Player in the Game" has been so humbled and so cowed by the relentless ass kickings he's taken at the hands of his superiors that he's now reduced to feeble attempts to ingratiate himself to them. Even when the reigning MVP dumps on him in front of all his WBC teammates with a humiliating poster of him, Jeter chuckles along like he's in on the joke and their laughing with him, not at him. It's no different than if Pedroia walked into the lockerroom, said "Hello, McFly!!!" and started giving him noogies and Jeter just said "Ha ha, Biff. Real funny..." and just got busy on Pedroia's term paper. It's a sad day, I'll tell you that. Where's the Jeter I used to know? Where's the guts?

13. Boston.com - Eddie Doyle has signed thousands of autographs, posed for just as many pictures, and has raised more than $1 million for Boston charities. Although he never held public office, pitched at Fenway, or performed on local TV, Doyle is famous. He's also among the newly unemployed. For nearly 35 years, or almost half of his life, Doyle has been the smiling face behind the bar at Cheers - the Beacon Hill pub that inspired the TV show with the same name in the early 1980s. As one of Boston's last fabled bartenders, he served drinks and advice for five decades. During that time, his charitable deeds became the stuff of legend. Along the way he got to know thousands, introduced dozens of singles who would eventually marry, and held numerous fund-raisers that attracted everybody from the glitterati to the near-homeless. But a few weeks ago he was told by Tom Kershaw, owner of the Cheers bar, that the recession had hit his industry and he was being laid off. Doyle, who is in his late 60s, said he's surprisedbut not bitter. "I'm a casualty of the economic situation that we're in," said Doyle, who spent part of this week cleaning out his office. Kershaw acknowledged that it was a difficult decision. "Business is way off," he said, adding that he would continue to send Doyle a weekly paycheck until the end of the year.” As word spread of his layoff, many people, such as former Boston mayor Raymond Flynn, said that the city has lost an institution."He's as important as George Washington to this city; he's that well known," said Flynn.

Ok maybe I’m an idiot, but I wouldn’t know Eddie Doyle if he slapped me across the face.  Don’t get me wrong he sounds like a good dude, but who fucking goes to Cheers besides tourists?  I’ve literally never stepped foot inside that place in my life and I don’t know anybody who has.   Maybe it was popular like 30 year ago or something, but Ray Flynn can cut the shit with this whole Eddie Doyle is as important to this city as George Washington routine.   Although on second thought I didn’t know George Washington was important to Boston either so I guess it kind of makes sense.   Either way I’m curious how many Stoolies actually know who this guy is or have actually ever gone to Cheers?   Or is this just another Red Sox Nation type of thing where the only people who care about this bullshit are the people who don’t actually live here?

14. ESPN - A Facebook post criticizing his employer, the Philadelphia Eagles, cost a stadium operations worker his job, according to a story in Monday's Philadelphia Inquirer. Dan Leone, who the Inquirer said worked as a west gate chief, was unhappy the team let Brian Dawkins sign with the Denver Broncos in free agency. According to the newspaper, Leone posted the following on his Facebook page: "Dan is [expletive] devastated about Dawkins signing with Denver ... Dam Eagles R Retarted!!" Despite deleting the comment, Leone told the Inquirer the Eagles fired him by phone days later. "I shouldn't have put it up there," Leone said, according to the Inquirer. "I was ticked off, and I let my emotions go, but I didn't offend any one person or target a specific individual. I was just upset that we lost such a great guy. Dawkins was one of my favorite players. I made a mistake."I apologized for it," Leone said, according to the paper. "I apologized 20 million times. I never bad-mouthed the organization before. I made one mistake and they terminate me? And they couldn't even bring me into the office to talk to me? They had to do it over the phone? At least look me in the eye. To get done dirty like this, I can't believe it. I'm devastated."

God damn, Dan Leone got done did dirty!  I mean what’s the big deal here?The guy works security right?  Who fucking cares if he bad mouths the team on facebook?      It’s not like he’s an assistant coach or anything.  The guy is just a fan who happens to work for the Eagles.   What’s next?  You gonna fire the guy who works in the pro shop or the hot dog guy because he questions the play calling?   Seriously the Eagles can calm the fuck down.   How about you win a superbowl before you start acting like your shit don’t stink?   The only team in this league right now who can’t be criticized is the Pats.  Yeah that’s right I’m talking to you Pittsburgh.  Do me favor and can call me when you win 3 superbowls this decade.   Until then shut up.

15. SANFORD, Fla. -- Police busted a "Girls Gone Wild" party at a Sanford bar on Friday.  It happened at The Barn, and some patrons said the party got out of control. "All night long, the bouncer and the bar said, 'Show your boobs. Free T-shirts for the boobs,'" Christopher Cummings said.  Partygoers said the bar and a "Girls Gone Wild" crew told women to bare their chests and rear ends inside a VIP room.  With cameras rolling, women got a free shirt if they complied, but four women who allegedly exposed themselves also got a trip to the Seminole County Jail.  "I got a T-shirt, and I went downstairs to do a dance, and I got pulled off the dance floor by police and brought outside," Katherine Ginnoble said.  Police said that when Ginnoble and three other women exposed themselves, they violated an adult-entertainment ordinance in the city.  "You can't have any nudity in the city, and these women exposed themselves," Sanford Police Department Sgt. David Morganstern said.  But Ginnoble contended it was all a trap.  "I was just having a good time. I didn't think I was going to get in trouble for it," Ginnoble said.

I’m not even exaggerating when I say this is the grossest miscarriage of justice in the history of modern civilization.   Listen if the cops wanted to arrest somebody they should have arrested the owners of the bar or the crew of Girls Gone Wild.   Or how about shutting down the VIP room instead of sitting there like snakes in the grass waiting for chicks to start acting like sluts.   I mean how were these girls supposed to know this was against the law?   It’s like walking into a massage parlor and seeing a happy ending on the menu.   You just got to assume the place has a permit for hand jobs.   It’s not the customer’s responsibility to be Johnny Law School.   And more importantly is this really the message that we really want to send to our nation’s youth?  That you need to check your rulebook before showing your tits or sucking cock for a free t-shirt?    All the police did was weaken a country today. 

16. Boston.com - Banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, vanilla sprinkle cake, and apple pie will be hawked on the State House steps this afternoon to raise money for a needy cause. The MBTA. Transit advocates are holding a bake sale for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.  Organizers acknowledge that bake sale is a gimmick to highlight the MBTA's $8 billion in debt and interest payments. Technically, organizers admit, they cannot sell things to raise money for the agency. They will, however, accept donations and hand out baked goods."The T has a ridiculous deficit that they are trying to manage," said Lee Matsueda, president of the T Riders Union, which is campaigning against service cuts or fare hikes. "We want to bring attention to that deficit and show that public transit riders are doing their part."Transportation Secretary James A. Aloisi Jr. is expected to stop by the bake sale, which is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m., rain or snow.

Fuck me.  Why didn’t I think of this first!    A bake sale is just what the Stool needs!   Because while the MBTA has somehow managed to accumulate an 8 billion dollar debt through some of the worst mismanagement of money in the history of civilization, I’ve managed to piss all my money away gambling.   It’s kind of the same thing when you think about it.    And what better way to ask the public to bail your ass out then holding a bake sale?    It’s fucking brilliant.   I can dress up all my barstool girls in slutty little outfits and you get a kiss with a cookie.  It worked in the Revenge of the Nerds so I’m sure it would work for me.  I just hope the everybody isn’t all bakesaled out by the time I get this organized.  

17. NORTH BERWICK, MaineThe supervisor of the town's transfer station has been ordered to undergo sensitivity training after he made comments of a sexual nature to a female co-worker regarding her and her daughter, according to an internal investigation by Town Manager Dwayne Morin. Morin found the comments made by the supervisor, Richard Anderson of Sanford, to employee Joey Allen were "absolutely unacceptable," but said they were made with "benign intentions."  Allen cited a July 16, 2008 incident, when her college-age daughter visited her at work. "As I was hugging her I noticed Richard Anderson leering up and down her body in a disgusting, perverted manner," Allen, 46, said. "After she left, (Anderson) came to me and said in a low tone so no one else could hear, I'd like to do the mother AND the daughter." She also cited a November 2008 incident, when she and other transfer station employees were planning a holiday party. Anderson said he would not attend because if he got drunk, he would "be all over" her.Allen made another complaint that Anderson made her feel "dirty" by raising concerns about how she hugged some residents who came into the transfer station. Morin found Anderson's concerns were "justified." "As your supervisor, it is Mr. Anderson's responsibility to insist that you stop engaging in such behavior," Morin wrote. Allen told Foster's Anderson acted jealous whenever she hugged a resident. She said she didn't think hugging people is an inappropriate gesture.

God damn feminists.  They wouldn’t know a “benign” sexual harassment comment if it slapped them across the face.   Seriously it’s a sad day in Maine when you can’t even tell a girl that you want to “do her and her daughter” without it becoming a federal investigation.   I mean did this chick really think she could just run around the town dump hugging the shit out of people and her boss wouldn’t hit on her?   Give me a break.  Everybody knows the rules of being a chick in the workforce are hard and fast.   If you don’t want to guys to make a pass at you then you need to make yourself look ugly or just don’t talk to people ever.  If you break either one of these two golden rules then expect to get harassed.     I thought everybody knew that.   I mean I knew it.  The Maine Town Manger knew it.   So I don’t know why this chick didn’t.

18. LEHIGH ACRES, Fla.– Authorities said a man intentionally ran over another man who was trying to save a parking spot at a gas station on Monday. The Lee County Sheriff's Office reported that the victim was standing in a spot to reserve it for his wife at the Murphy USA gas station.  The man saving the spot told deputies that he held up his hands when another man pulled up to the line, but the man drove forward and hit him in the knees.  When the victim yelled at the man to stop, authorities said the suspect pulled forward and hit the man again, causing bruising and swelling. Other witnesses backed up the victim's story.  The suspect was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery.

Listen everybody knows if you’re going to save a parking space for somebody you don’t stand in the space and start directing traffic. You do that and I'll guarantee you get mowed down like a Chinese protester. The correct way to save a space is to sit in a lawn chair and listen to Sinatra on the radio.  No lawn chair. No Sinatra. No space. That's just how it works. Anything less and you might as well have a bullseye on your chest.
