Thursday, July 24. 2008"Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii" and other lame names of kids outlawed
"A Boy Named Sue" pales in comparison with the names some parents in New Zealand have selected
for reasons best unknown. Concerned judge Roy Muffit has stepped in to stop the madness, though
Talula had to wear hers for nine years.
Nine- year- old Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii - my but it rolls off of the tongue, has asked people to call her "K" most of her life. Muffit has ruled to change her name. Unfortunately the court cannot rule to spay or neuter the parents who show such poor judgment, and one cannot help but wonder what prompted some of these doozies. Not content to memorialize the flaky thoughts which obviously inspired some names elsewhere, they hang them on their babies. New Zealand law does not allow names that would "cause offense to a reasonable person" according to the registrar, some of the other names blocked are : Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, he said. Talula must have slipped by them. Others were inexplicably allowed, including Number 16 Bus Shelter "and tragically, Violence," he said. Go figure eh?

Thursday, July 24. 2008Peeing on Obama Bumper Sticker (photo) gets Texas Woman Arrested
Sugarland is a white collar white community a bit Southwest of Houston. It is most famous as where Tom DeLay lived before he got run out of town. Not for being the craziest Right-wing lunatic in America, but for being a nastyass crooked prick.
One thing we do have to credit the McKains for is that this woman, which I assume is black, did come on their property, and they did not shoot her in the back with double ought buck from 10 feet away as Pasadena Joe Horn did, unamred black men in the back, 10 feet away, and got away with it. In fact as we speak there is talk of having a parade for Joe Horn the hero of Pasadena, Texas.

Thursday, July 24. 2008Wiccan ceremony goes wrong, woman stabs self with sword
Wiccan Katherine Gunther of Lebanon, Indiana (not pictured here) was injured while performing a ritual at Oak Hill Cemetery. Despite the setting , Wicca is a nature-based religion based on respect for the earth, nature and the cycle of the seasons.
The ceremony involved candles, incense, and the driving of a sword into the ground during the full moon. When Gunther was performing the highpoint of the ritual, she raised the sword then plunged it into her foot - truly a dramatic touch. The irony? The ceremony is performed to give thanks for a run of good luck, something which seems fleeting at best. Wiccan ceremony goes wrong, woman stabs self with sword
Thursday, July 24. 2008New minimum wage - Worst states nobody moves toGeorgia, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland (business friendly areas) are going to make their states even more desirable by holding the line at the $234 weekly paycheck level. Indiana and Kentucky (kissing cousins) will both be blaming the July inflation reports on today's statewide Minimum Wage increases that push wage earner incomes into the $13,000 per year range. Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas (oil and gas-rich states) will grudgingly go along and match the federal wages laws of $6.55 per hour going into effect this week. Montana, Utah and Idaho (keep going West young man) are the bosses' dream states with the bare minimal $28 a week raise as of July 24th -- like all the rest, according to the Labor Law Center. North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming (nice places to visit, but you know the rest) merely match the latest Federal hourly rate increases - thus staying one day ahead of Washington's wage laws. By enacting meaningless hourly pay legislation, all 15 of these not-so-desirable states ought to get a new State Motto: "Staying one step ahead of the law"
Wednesday, July 23. 2008Conservative mouthpiece Bob Novak hits pedestrian and speeds away
Robert Novak, syndicated columnist known for being the first to publicly reveal Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA operative, former Crossfire host, "compassionate conservative", and all-around sleaze ball, did his part to ease traffic congestion this morning by hitting a pedestrian and roaring away from the scene of the crime in his black Corvette.
He might have made a clean getaway were it not for bicycle commuter and attorney David Bono. Bono said a "black Corvette convertible with top closed plowed into the guy. The guy is sort of splayed onto the windshield.” Bono had also observed that the pedestrian had been within the crosswalk, and crossing on the "walk" signal before he became airborne. Bono chased Speedy Bob a half block, preventing an escape by placing his bike in front of the car, and called 911 Bono said that Novak kept trying to get away. Bono told him that you can't hit a pedestrian and just drive away. Novak is quoted as saying "I didn't see him there." Maybe he looked like an enormous bird on the windshield? Incredibly Novak was only charged with failing to yield the right of way, nothing about hitting a pedestrian or leaving the scene of a crime. Where I live it is felony hit and run, perhaps the laws are different in the nation's capitol? Fun facts. Novak is known around D.C. as an "aggressive" driver, easily spotted in his sports cars. In 2001, he cursed a pedestrian for allegedly jaywalking. "Learn to read the signs, (bodily orifice)" the righteous one barked before tearing off as reported by the Washington Post. Novak explained to the paper: "He was crossing on the red light. I really hate jaywalkers. I despise them. Since I don't run the country, all I can do is yell at 'em. The other option is to run 'em over, but as a compassionate conservative, I would never do that." (not where there are witnesses, as it turns out) Two years later, the same column reported that Novak had gone to a racing school in Florida. "I've wanted to be a race car driver all my life, and anyone who has watched me drive can tell you that,” Novak proudly stated. Indeed, race car driver, and privileged homicidal maniac with a proven record of no morals,scruples, or consequences.I too, wish you had chosen race car driving rather than Washington D.C. Bob.

Wednesday, July 23. 2008Packing heat at the Boise, Idaho Zoo
It goes without saying that a family openly strapping guns to their belts (along with a couple extra clips of ammo) and going to the Boise Zoo keeps lions, tigers and bears (oh no) from eating people. On the day in question no animals had eaten any humans. It is also a deterrent for all would be animal thieves and stroller hijackers. Again not one rattlesnake or elephant was stolen from the zoo on this day, and no strollers were stolen or children kidnapped. So the dozen or so gun packers did their job well as there were also no terrorist attacks or Mexicans taking jobs away from any white people. Of course as you can see from the video below the local Boise TV station could only claim that openly carrying weapons at the zoo is "unusual" rather than the more appropriate description that it is "f**king nuts". I must also add that it would seem to the casual reader that Idaho is a right-wing noodle state but in its defense please keep in mind that one of Idaho's United States Senators is open and tolerant of soliciting gay sex in public rest rooms. So at least give the people of Idaho that. After all, no place is all bad. Well... There is Pasadena, Texas.

Wednesday, July 23. 2008Texas grand jury indicts 5 FLDS men for sexual assault
It has also been recently reported that the FLDS wives and mothers conspired to help leader Warren Jeffs marry off at least one 11 year old and himself marry a 15 year old. None of the FLDS members seem to have owned or carry guns, or like the idealized Branch Davidian Texas heroes, members of the NRA. This may bode poorly for subsequent Texas Christian prosecutors, judges and juries to be tried fairly. Here in Texas a Christian without a gun is like a New Yorker without an attitude.

Wednesday, July 23. 2008Blazing crotch ends party for one man, earns jail for two pranksters
When Elliot Tuleja passed out while drinking with two "buddies", the other two thought it would be amusing to play a joke on him. Their judgement, however poor in the best of times, "may" have been pegged on faulty or jack ass. The duo liberally doused his crotch area with cologne. Considering
the aroma of some colognes, It would likely be considered assault at that point, but the boys had one more trick up their sleeves, and ignited the pungent rocket fuel. Tuleja suffered second degree burns of his testicles. There is no word as to how well he is recovering from the incident which took place in
January.
The aforementioned "pals", 22-year old Craig Pillers, a parolee, and 19-year old Jack Brent Nicholas Keiffer were just sentenced to 2 years in prison and 45 days in county jail respectively after pleading guilty to a felony great bodily injury charge in San Luis Obispo. Add this to the list of things "They" say to do, or not to do, such as : "Never wear white after Labor Day." May I suggest - " Never be the first to pass out."
