Judging by the quality of the text, I would say this is a hoax.

But if it is real, this one is worth laughing about, because it doesn't involve his tax dollars:

I have noticed lately that so many people have become callous to these horrid things happening in society today. It's almost as if it's accepted as the "norm". Making jokes about this is absolutely apalling.

That's one way of looking at it. Another way is that if you were to spend your empathy on all the awful things that happened, you'd be depressed as hell. A sense of humor has helped people in tough places, whether it's Fox Creek or a foxhole.

Why all of a sudden the open mind of having two ways to look at this issue? Most issues with you are "my opinion is the only opinion."

Hey, a shout out. For record, I've been out of town for a week and a half and don't return until late next week.

Has anybody heard from Django or Gannon and their respective "women" lately?

Cross post to bad jokes...
A man is walking down a beach, and spots a girl, no arms, no legs, just a torso, and she's crying.He goes up to her, and asks why she's crying.
She says she's 21 years old, and never been kissed.He bends down, and gives her a gentle kiss, and she says thank you and he says you're welcome.
He starts to walk away, and she starts to cry.He asks her what is wrong, and she says I'm 21 years old, I have no arms or legs, and I've never been fucked.
He picks her up and throws her into the ocean and says you're fucked now.

I've been waiting for Gannon, with his finger on the pulse of my neighborhood, to pipe up about this the way he blathers on about the Bashara case. In case he's reading, nobody in my neighborhood of GPPark gave a shit once they realized it wasn't a group of marauding black people from Detroit that killed Jane. There's maybe 3 "Justice for Jane" signs I've seen on the north side of Jefferson. He's full of crap by suggesting that there was angst everywhere while Bob walked free.

A 36th District Court judge cleared out her packed courtroom Thursday after bailiffs spotted what appeared to be bedbugs crawling on a man who was accompanying a witness to a hearing.

The incident is the latest problem involving the pests in Detroit, which was named among the most bedbug-infested cities in America two years ago by a pest control company.

After evacuating her courtroom, Judge Cylenthia LaToye Miller tried to move her docket to another room. When none were available, she sent her staff home for the day.

"I evacuated the courtroom today due to a man with live bedbugs for everybody's well-being," the judge said. She told her staff they were being sent home on "administrative leave," because, she told them, "It's not our fault."

When a bailiff saw bedbugs crawling on the man, he was removed from the courtroom. Court officials then cleared out the front row in which he had been sitting, before the judge asked everyone to leave the room.

The man's daughter, who did not give her name, said she knew there was a bedbug problem at her father's house.

With 7,000 people entering the 36th District courthouse each day, pests are a concern, court officials said. A Detroit pest-control firm is contracted to spray the building each quarter, and has a dog specifically trained to sniff out bedbugs, court officials said.

The pest-control company will be brought in to spray Miller's courtroom, she said.

The most common pests in the courthouse are roaches and fleas, officials said.

In June, the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 26, which represents Detroit Department of Transportation bus drivers, asked the City Council to pressure the transit agency to halt the spread of bedbugs on coaches. About 50 DDOT drivers reported seeing the bugs on buses, and some had been bitten, union officials said.

Terminix, a Memphis, Tenn.-based pest control company, in 2010 released a list of the 15 most bedbug-infested cities, based on an analysis of call volume to 350 service centers the firm has throughout the country. Detroit, New York and Philadelphia were named as having the worst bedbug problems.

Bedbugs feed on blood of people or animals, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They are flat, about a quarter-inch long and spread by latching onto clothing or luggage.

I've got to think employees at the courthouse would cite the patrons as bigger pests.

I've got to think employees at the courthouse would cite the patrons as bigger pests.

The old man finished his career in an office inside the 36th district court building. If I recall correctly he followed the same self-imposed policy that defined his career: bring nothing home. Which is to say don't change at work and leave clothes hanging all day in a locker. Don't leave a coat on a hook. Don't bring home an empty lunch box.

He told a story about standing in formation for roll call and watching a cockroach run up and down the back of the guy ahead of him. "He had a tough time because he had eight (ten?) kids and was married to a (uncommon ethnicity, evidently not distinguished for house-keeping skills). I didn't want to embarrass him so I didn't say anything."

Thousands of dead nutria pile up on Mississippi beaches after Isaac

"As they're picking them up, they're busting open," Hancock County Supervisor David Yarborough told the Biloxi-Gulfport Sun Herald.

MIAMI (AP) — The winner of a roach-eating contest in South Florida died shortly after downing dozens of the live bugs as well as worms, authorities said Monday.

About 30 contestants ate the insects during Friday night's contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles north of Miami. The grand prize was a python.

Edward Archbold, 32, of West Palm Beach became ill shortly after the contest ended and collapsed in front of the store, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office statement released Monday. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities were waiting for results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death.

"Unless the roaches were contaminated with some bacteria or other pathogens, I don't think that cockroaches would be unsafe to eat," said Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of California at Riverside, who added that he has never heard of someone dying after consuming roaches. "Some people do have allergies to roaches," he said, "but there are no toxins in roaches or related insects."

None of the other contestants became ill, the sheriff's office said.

There was no updated phone number listed for Archbold in West Palm Beach.

"We feel terribly awful," said store owner Ben Siegel, who added that Archbold did not appear to be sick before the contest. "He looked like he just wanted to show off and was very nice," Siegel said, adding that Archbold was "the life of the party."

Siegel said Archbold was selling the exotic prize to a friend who took him to the contest.

A statement from Siegel's attorney said all the participants signed waivers "accepting responsibility for their participation in this unique and unorthodox contest."

The bugs consumed were from an inventory of insects "that are safely and domestically raised in a controlled environment as food for reptiles."

Dang cockroaches.

We had a little incident here at the shop inspired by roaches (cross to Four-legged Friends and Three Minutes I'll Never Get Back...). Last week I went to the back of our warehouse for the first-aid kit and found a little cockroach hiding behind the wall-mounted box. The warehouse guys tried to take him down with brake cleaner spray, but it didn't even phase him. So it took some fisticuffs but in the end the roach died.

Cut to a long shot and the warehouse guys and me are standing forlorn & horrified in semi-circle around this dead bug. Almost like that early scene out of The Thing when after the monster came out of a dog and was killed and the guys were like WTF. WTF indeed. This is a roach (albeit a small one) on the floor of our home away from home. The guys were getting panicky so I scooped the body into an envelope and assured all that I'll take it from here: going to use all of my pull to get management to go all Zyclon B on the perimeter of the building.


Act II
A few days later and one of the warehouse guys ventures into my world and asks to see me in the back: another incident. No bug, ha ha, but they'd found and captured a tiny snake no bigger than a pencil. Baby snake was placed in an empty box so that I could present it to the boss as evidence.

So the little snake slithers around, there's laughter and bon homme all around, and then suddenly the little snake gets himself completely stuck in the exposed sticky side of the packing tape visible through the split in the bottom of the box. Dude is stuck. Paralyzed. Not moving, except to open his upper jaw because the lower jaw is also stuck to the tape.

I was pretty sure that the snake was a goner, but fate was kind and we were able to peel him free without leaving behind any scales.

How in the hell did he get her knocked up for those twins? Turkey baster and a 10 foot pole?
