It's the beady little eyes that make them so dangerous
Man tries to steal ferret by stuffing it down his pants. The best part is, that's not the crazy part. The crazy part is this:
A 17-year-old witness confronted Bolton in the parking lot and was bitten by the animal after the man allegedly shoved it in the teen's face.Sounds like a clear case of why we need ferret control, if you ask me.
That confrontation makes the ferret a "special weapon" under Florida law. So Bolton also faces battery charges for dangerously wielding the animal.

Hiding the suck...
The Washington Redskins will play their first six games against winless teams, an NFL first.
Should they beat the Chiefs this Sunday (coin flip), they'll have only won three of those games.

Justice, Russian Style
Regarding the lawsuit in a Russian court accusing a newspaper of defaming Stalin, good news came when the court ruled in favor of the newspaper.
The opinion, noted as a rare example of legal brevity, read: "Dude. He's friggin' Stalin."

It wasn't like they mocked his mustache
Stalin's grandson sues Russian newspaper for libel, claiming the paper "called into question the Soviet dictator's honor and dignity." Rumors that the paper also called into question David Letterman's fidelity were unsubstantiated as of press time.
Which sort of begs the question - how do you libel Stalin? What do you accuse him of doing - feeding Ukranians? Reveling in the give and take of a healthy democratic debate?
Hey, let's get a fresh perspective on this - the perspective of a 10 month old child. Xander, what you think about questioning Stalin's honor and dignity?
"Are you nuts?"
From the mouths of babes...

Song of the day
So that's why my balls always go in the rough...
Woman arrested after police claim her Craiglist ad for "golf lessons" was actually prostitution.
Police reportedly became suspicious when they learned it actually cost more to play the back nine than the front nine.

You're not St. Peter? Never mind then.
Guy thinks he's dying. Guy does not want to face his maker without having unburdened his soul, so he confesses to a murder he's been suspected of.
Guy takes turn for the better, and facing judgment of a more earthly nature...you know what...never mind about the whole murder thing.
The whole unburdened soul thing? We'll get to that later.
Much, much later, ideally.

Every single play: Run to the right
Rush Limbaugh is trying to buy the St. Louis Rams.
If this goes through, it would certainly make Keith Olbermann's segments on Sunday Night Football more entertaining.

Quote of the day
Found this blog by former pro wrestler Dutch Mantell. If you aren't a wrestling fan, you haven't heard of him. If you are, you still may not have heard of him, or just barely heard of him. He was one of those guys whose prime pre-dates Hulkamania, a solid if unspectacular wrestler who moved from territory to territory, working for different promoters until they ran out of things for him to do, then moving on to the next place.
Anyways, the first couple posts make it look like Dutch's life might make interesting reading, from the road stories in the old days to his stints backstage at the WWE and TNA. In any event - this quote from his first post is your quote of the day:

I've wrestled animals such as bears on chains and off chains. I remember after wrestling the bear, PETA wrote a letter to the promoter saying the animal had been abused. There was nothing in the letter about me, just the bear. Bastards.I assume PETA's problem was that the bear was asked to do the job.
Reminder - do your civic duty
A judge who found himself short of jurors for a murder trial sent deputies to a nearby post office to round up people to sit for jury selection.
Customers trying to mail letters or get stamps found themselves drafted into potential jury service. The trial could last two to three weeks.
The defendant is Christopher McCurdy. He is charged with the murder of 60 year old Lonnie Ritter.
Stamps can be purchased online, if you want to spare yourself a trip to the post office.
