The Colorado cop whacked out on sodium pentothal
Colorado State Univ. police chief Dexter Yarbrough finally got suspended last month after a bunch of run-ins, and now audio tapes of one of his classroom lectures have been released, demonstrating Dexter as a yeah-tell-it-brutha kinda guy. Oh, yeah, cops are forced to set bad guys up with drug buys, he told the students in the sociology class he also taught. And if they get caught doing that, Oh, yeah, they have to lie about it. Sure, you have to pop the bad guys once in a while in custody, but the way out of that is to tell the media, Oh, that's terrible, we'll have to investigate that. And rape accusations? "[W]omen want the dick, even when they say 'no,' they want the dick." Rocky Mountain Collegian

For those seeking an explanation of the Florida mind
Charles Griffin, 42, Middleburg, Fla., who calls himself a genius, who "thinks outside the box," has put his brainpower up for sale on eBay (starting: $1.00). Put the F State mind to work for you! Admittedly, "genius" makes him way-atypical of the state, but on the other hand, possessing an inflated opinion of one's self is absolutely representative. WJXT-TV (Jacksonville) via MSNBC
