Homeowners Sue Couple Who Crashed Into House While Having Sex

Associated Press
LEWISTON -- A northern Idaho couple whose house was damaged by a vehicle has filed a lawsuit against a man and woman who the homeowners say had been drinking and were having sex when the man lost control of the 2003 Dodge pickup last month.
  Homeowners Teresa A. Roesner-Weatherby and William Weatherby filed the lawsuit in 2nd District Court against Jonathan J. Schlee and Courtney Zimmerman, the Lewiston Tribune reported Saturday.
  The homeowners are seeking a court order preventing Schlee and Zimmerman from being in a car at the same time. They are also seeking damages in excess of $10,000.
  Schlee pleaded not guilty to a charge of misdemeanor driving under the influence following the Feb. 28 crash.
  The lawsuit says the truck drove through the kitchen of the home and stopped in a nearby yard. Police estimate damage to the home at $50,000.
I sure hope it was worth it....

Axe-toting Man Shot, Killed by Police At California Market

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Police in southern California have fatally shot a man they say threatened an officer with an ax during a confrontation with police at a grocery store.
  Witnesses told police the man had been stabbing himself with a knife Saturday night at City Farm Market in Inglewood. A store employee says the man confronted him and told him he "killed people," then tried to stab the employee and walked away.
  Police followed a trail of blood inside the store to a walk-in refrigerator in the market's warehouse. Two officers shot the suspect multiple times and killed him after he allegedly came out of the refrigerator wielding an ax and lunged toward one of them.
  Police are withholding the suspect's identity pending notification of his family.
More crazies in the world. Wonder what was up with this loonie.

Model, Allegedly Drug Queen, On the Lam

by Karl Penhaul
Barranquilla, Colombia (CNN) -- She pouts her collagen-filled lips and totters on golden stilettos as she parades down the catwalk. Camera flashes pop in the shaky video recording of the photo shoot. Colombian model Angie Sanclemente is an object of desire.
  But that was 10 years ago. Now Sanclemente is one of South America's "most wanted." The fallen beauty is on the run; Interpol has issued an international arrest warrant for her.
  The woman whose ambition took her from poverty to a life of glamour is thought to be in Argentina. Authorities there suspect she may be the "queen pin" of an international operation that uses models as drug mules to move suitcases loaded with cocaine out of Buenos Aires airport.
  "I am convinced Sanclemente is heavily involved in drug trafficking but I still cannot determine exactly what role she plays," one Argentine source close to the investigation tells CNN.

Jamie Oliver Food Revolution Primiere

Jamie Oliver's much anticipated show, 'Food Revolution' premiered on Friday, where he attempts to transform the eating habits of the residents of Huntington, West Virginia, the most unhealthy city in America. In this clip, Jamie shows kids how chicken nuggets are actually made with the goal of turning them away from processed foods. Watch their shocking reaction.

I watched this show and was impressed by how much Jamie wanted to help these backward uneducated school lunch ladies. It makes me wonder why WHY the health of the children in this school are not the primary concern of the adult school administrators. Such a shame. From what I understand, the people in this town really need to do something different because they are in such bad health and very obese. I truly hope this helps.

Good...I recently had my PayPal account hacked into. I hope the government prosecutes these scumbags to the fullest.

Mad Dash As Truck Spills 100,000 Dollars Onto US Street

CHICAGO (AFP) – People fell onto a bag of cash like a pack of hungry piranhas after more than 100,000 dollars tumbled out the back of an armored truck onto an Ohio street, local media reported.
  The bag split open after it fell off the back of the vehicle Wednesday and the driver drove away without noticing.
  But a whole bunch of people spotted the cash blowing down the street in Whitehall, a Columbus suburb, and a mad dash for cash ensued.
  "People were jumping out of their vehicles," one witness told NBC4 news.
  "Like when you throw some fish in and you've got a school of piranhas and they haven't eaten for a long time. It was funny."
  Another witness described a surreal atmosphere with people laughing, smiling and taking as much as they could carry.
  Workers at a nearby flower shop helped police gather up the money in boxes. Several people ended up bringing some of the cash into the police station.
  But only about 10,500 dollars had been recovered by the end of the day, the Columbus Dispatch reported.
  "We're hoping that more people do the right thing," Whitehall Police Sergeant Randy Snider told the paper.
  Police are examining surveillance camera video and photographs from cell phone cameras to try to track down the people who grabbed the money.

Weird

“A naked man has become famous in China after he stopped traffic on a busy road, then tried to lift a taxi by himself while shouting ‘give me strength’. It all began when the nude man stopped the taxi by running out into the street in front of traffic. As the perplexed driver got out of the car to see what was going on, the naked man grabbed the vehicle’s bumper and tried – without much success – to lift it off the ground. As a crowd of puzzled onlookers gathered to watch the spectacle, the man continued in his efforts to lift the car. Eyewitnesses reported that he would sometimes shout ‘please give me strength!’ as he struggled with the taxi. The bizarre incident took place in Hefei, in Anhui province in eastern China.”

Robber Tries To Hold Up Closed Bank

A hapless bank robber fled empty handed when he turned up at the branch - on early closing day.
  Baffled staff - taking part in a training session - watched in amusement as he hammered on the door with his gun demanding to be let in, say police in Kirchheim, Austria.
  The would-be crook - who was caught on camera wearing his Barack Obama mask - eventually fled to his getaway car empty handed.
  "We thought it was part of the training, some sort of initiative test, or a joke. Laughing only seemed to make him more angry," said one worker.
  Although closed the staff were still in the bank as they were taking part in the after hours training session.
  Police said the Barack Obama raider was about 1.75 metres tall and dressed in a dark jacket with red stripes on its sleeves, dark jeans and dark gloves.
  A bank spokesman said: "He wasn't very smart - the bank was robbed both last December and in January this year and we now have really tight security."
Well...he really did his homework.  Just another example that STUPIDITY RULES.  I guess this time though, it was for the best that he WAS stupid.

Something to Ponder

There recently was an article in the St. Petersburg Fl. Times. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on: "How Would You Fix the Economy?"
I think this guy nailed it!

Dear Mr. President,
Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the "Patriotic Retirement Plan"
There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:
  1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings...Result:  Unemployment fixed.
  2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered...Result:  Auto Industry fixed.
  3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage...Result:  Housing Crisis fixed.
It can't get any easier than that!!
