[News] Things to Worry About Today

Religious cult member Ria Ramkissoon had been refusing to testify against Queen Antoinette for her ritual that ultimately killed Ria's son, in that she thought maybe the Queen could resurrect him, but now Ria's driven a hard bargain with Baltimore prosecutors: She'll testify, but they have to agree in writing to drop all charges when her son comes back to life. (Yeah, we can do that, they said.) Washington Post

Is Marc Beaumont, Esq., such a cad that he'd charge his client for the time they spent in bed, or is she (also a lawyer) just nuts (and by the way, how did she ever get any clients at all when her actual name is Anal Sheikh)? Daily Telegraph

An arbitrator chastises an employer for "willfully" and over a long period of time violating the venerable Fair Labor Standards Act (the "employer" in this case being, um, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). Washington Post

Anal Sheikh Finally! A name befitting the job.

S&M;Study higher stress and testosterone Even the girls?

Fair Labor Standards The findings must be in error, they're the government!

Khol's Sorry girls, but I've seen what shops at Khol's and I REALLY don't think I want to think about what he was seeing.

Jury Duty Come on! This has got to be an early April 1 joke.

Jury Duty
A little make up and this guy would pass for Bozo.

Guilty...for not having a comb, trimmers or a mirror.

I had the same thought, Maxx ~ an extremely creepy Bozo the clown. He probably scares himself if he looks in a mirror!

Aw come on Expat, I love Kohls!

Jury Duty - BEST EVER!!! I'm confused, the headline says "3 Family Members Charged" but they only mention 2...

shoemakers son and father were also charged, which makes that 3 generations of shoemakers arrested at once.

A dog napping! Bozo got busted in a complication for a freaking dog napping. I tried to be good and not look at the crime u when I saw the picture I had to know. My expectations were the usual: pedophile, serial killer, junk bond salesman. But threatening arson because of some weird dog napping case. Classic!

A dog napping! The next Andy Warhol movie.

Anal Sheikh - What an awesome name for a foreign, gay wrestler.
"Here he comes now, the Rectal Rajah, the Posterior Potentate, the Gluteal Gerent-- it's ANAL SHEIKH!"
