-Not his lucky day-
Alberto Ortega of Cape Coral, FL is in jail facing a possible thirty years after home invaders attacked him with a sword -- no shit. The robbers showed up at his door and demanded money and, when he said he was broke, they forced their way inside. At some point, all involved wound up in the street, with Ortega being chased down and stabbed him in the ass. Neighbors saw the crime and called the cops. This is when things got worse.
During the course of the investigation, police found that Ortega had 75 marijuana plants growing in the house. Turns out, he's not a good guy. "According to the Florida Department of Corrections, Ortega has already served seven years in prison for two prior drug convictions in Miami," the report reads. "In 1993, he was convicted of trafficking cocaine and in 1999, he was convicted of trafficking cocaine and conspiracy to trafficking drugs. He was released from prison in 2005."
"This case is kind of an odd one," DEA agent Leonard Richardson said. "Not so much because he got caught with a grow house, but because he got robbed, stabbed in the rear with a sword and then caught." (The News-Press)
-Sooner or later, something will go right-
I mean, come on, it's just the law of averages. But, for now, everything that can go wrong with the Creation Museum in KY has gone wrong.
The latest problem is a lawsuit filed by an australian group alleging that founding nutjob, Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis, stole subscribers to it's magazine. "The court papers allege Ham used a database containing the names and addresses of 39-thousand subscribers to the two Australian-produced magazines - 'Creation Magazine' and 'The Journal of Creation' - to distribute his own magazine, 'Answers,' in December 2005," the report reads.
In a statement on the suit, AiG pretty much argued that good christians don't sue the pants off each other. "Their decision to litigate this dispute ... is at best troubling, and is contrary to the biblical standard for Christians in handling disputes with other Christians," it reads. Bullshit to english translation; "We don't have a defense and we really like our pants..." Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of lunatics. (AP)
