Taco Bell to Gays: "Release the Hounds!"
-So, where's the bad cop?-
Village of Kewaskum, WI Police Chief Richard Knoebel wrote himself a ticket for failing to stop for a schoolbus with flashing lights. "When we get someone for not stopping for a flashing school bus we give them a citation. So I shouldn't be any different so I did," the Chief said. His honesty cost him four points and 235 bucks.

-"We reserve the right to refuse service to (and assault) anyone"-
Hobart, IL resident Charles E. Dayton will probably get his crappy fake mexican food somewhere else from now on. He'd first experienced fast food discrimination in Dec. 2005, when a Taco Bell employee told him, "I hope you get AIDS and die," then offered to fight him. "Then Sept. 22 [2007], when Dayton ordered dinner at the drive-through [at the same Taco Bell], he noticed employee Barnes pointing in his direction. While his window was down, Dayton claims another employee, Joseph Shinkle, punched him in the face and called him a slur." A spokesman for Taco Bell declined comment. Shinkle remains at large.

-Oh, here's the bad cop-
"Williamson County [Tennessee] Sheriff Ricky Headley and a Crieve Hall pharmacy owner were arrested Wednesday on prescription drug fraud charges. Headley was taken into custody by Metro police officers and agents of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation after he came to Brooks Pharmacy on Trousdale Drive in Nashville to pick up a bottle of pills." Headley routinely bragged that drug arrests had gone up 150% since he'd been elected in 2002. (Tennessean.com)
-So does every democrat alive-
"A spokesman for an Arkansas pro-family group is hoping for a presidential showdown in the general election between former Arkansas First Lady Hillary Clinton and former Governor Mike Huckabee, now that both have entered the ’08 race for the White House." 40% of dems would vote for Hillary, 1% of republicans would go for Huckabee.
That's what I like about the biblebangers -- they're so grounded in reality... (Journal Chretien)
