Talk about "being in the moment"...
DELTONA -- A 27-year-old woman was charged with battery for biting her husband's penis, a Volusia County Sheriff's report shows. Woah, there, honey! No teeth, okay? After a night of drinking, Charris Bowers and her husband arrived at their Deltona home late Saturday and began having oral sex, the report says. Ah, Ye Olde Night of Drinking...
But moments later as Bowers and her spouse, Delou, engaged in the act, she began biting down hard enough that Delou Bowers asked her to stop, the report says. When she refused, Delou Bowers started punching Charris Bowers in the head and face until she finally let go, the report says. I usually like it when you get into it, honey, but...OUCH!
That wasn't enough, according to the report. Charris Bowers then attempted to punch her husband and he shoved her to the ground and left the room. Awwww, honey. Don't go away mad...
Charris Bowers told deputies that she bit her husband because she did not want to have sex. But after the deputy saw Delou Bowers' injuries, he concluded charges were warranted. Woah! Muldoon look at this!
Damn. That vacumn cleaner had teeth, sarge...
Charris Bowers was taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail Sunday morning and released a few hours later on her own recognizance after making her first appearance in court, jail officials said today. So, maam, got any place you can go?
I will have once this story gets out...

GolfBravo, I'm trying to decide if the damage to my marriage from having a pair of those hot dog cooking thingies would be offset sufficiently by their coolness factor.

Mugshot at the link. Judging by the looks, I'd assume Charris had "skills". At least I hope so, for Delou's sake....
'Santa' Gunman's Marriage Dissolved When Wife Discovered He Abandoned Brain-Damaged Son I'm reposting this, as it contains A LOT more detail about the attack. The Fox title does not do it justice
COVINA, California -- A man plotting revenge against his ex-wife dressed up like Santa, went to his former in-laws' Christmas Eve party, shot at partygoers and destroyed his former in-laws' house with a homemade device that sprayed flammable liquid, slaughtering at least nine people before killing himself hours later.

Total sociopath - can't understand anyone's feelings but his own. The idea that he was despicable because he abandoned his son...nope, his wife was the evil one for leaving him, and to his mind, his rampage was entirely justified.
A 15-year-old Bronx girl has been charged with two homicides including the death of a man whose dismembered body was found in a plastic bag. Sharell Butler was arraigned late Saturday and charged as an adult with murder in the deaths of 24-year-old Christopher Umpierre on Dec. 19 and 22-year-old John Hopkins-Drago on Dec. 21.
2 in 3 days. She was on a roll.
A Bronx building superintendent found Hopkins-Drago's body stuffed in a garbage bag. The medical examiner's office said the cause of death was stab wounds to his head, torso and extremities.
Prosecutors said Umpierre was shot in the chest during a home invasion robbery involving Butler and others.
Prosecutors do not believe that Butler was the shooter, but no one else had been charged in Umpierre's death as of Sunday, said Steven Reed, a spokesman for the district attorney's office.
Butler, whose street name is "Lady Red," was arraigned in Bronx criminal court and was being held without bail, Reed said. A lawyer for the teen, Xavier Donaldson, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

In 1958 as a bitter Bobby Layne who had been traded by Detroit to Pittsburg said that the Lions would not win another championship for 50 years. The Layne Curse ended this season. Think they'll do better in the future? Me neither.
The team made a habit of losing. The Buccaneers lost at least ten games in 17 of their first 21 seasons, including 12 straight from 1983 to 1994. After a particularly dismal effort in the late 1970's, longtime Buc's coach John McKay gave perhaps the quintessential comment on the organization's plight: A reporter asked McKay about his team's execution during the game. McKay responded "I'm in favour of it".

Things are always blackest just before the coach and worthless player firing.

Gotta hit bottom before you can move back up. If they go 1-15 next year, it'll be progress.
Just be glad Millen's not around to blow that No. 1 draft pick.

I went home for X-mas w/the fam (west side of Detroit), after a game of drop-in hockey some old auto worker tried to tell me that William Ford really did want to win, he just didn't know how...the guy has had the team 50 yrs. They need to sell the lions to someone who cares more about winning then coaches and gm's kissing their ass.

Hey BH6, at least ole Bill had enuff brains to get Mullally for FMC, which he also was running to ground. So, maybe there's a glimmer out there for the Lions. Look at it this way, at least it's a record. And will probably remain in the books for a while. It's like 16-0, only backward.

should use that first pick on a WR. That'll work

Tebow won't come out. That leaves Bradford or McCoy. I think the Lions will go with McCoy since he is more mobile. Then they really need to do some serious FA deals and trades to boost the offensive line and bring in a good to semi-great all purpose back. If the Dolphins can do it - then so can Detroit (once they find a way to kidnap Parcells or clone him).

Detroit's problems start in the front office, and are just reflected on the field.
no amount of FA or drafting can make up for the lack of football sense in the front office. the city of Detroit aught to sue Bill Ford.. either turn over the franchise to a competent, or stop using the name Detroit... or move to another market so Detroit can rebuild their image.
on the upside, the lions are so bad, that it does give the city schools and PD a way to look good by comparison.
the lions are an embarassment to football

The Lions have been in a depression for some time now (last playoff appearance 1999). There's nowhere to go but UP !! At least the Detroit fans still have the RedWings, Pistons, and Tigers. Those three franchises sports 8 championships since 1984.

Well, the Broncos found ways to lose their last three games and skip the playoffs. If they'd won any one of them, they'd have been in the running for a wild-card berth, at least. Maybe they're trying to give Detroit some competition.

As a Bronco fan, I am glad they lost and got their butt kicked so thoroughly. We couldn't have stopped Indy as we are and we get a better draft pick. Plus, the defensive coach needs fired and the offensive play calling was horrible all year.
Broncos need a major re-tooling and the only way to get it is the complete ass-stomping they so richly deserved.
Although, it would be nice to see the Chargers go all the way. But their coach seems to choke in the playoffs for some reason every year.
It was not a poacher's gun that killed a leopard in the Lakhimpur forest in Uttar Pradesh. The full-grown cat was mauled to death by a tigress during a fight.
"The incident took place on Saturday night when the tigress was playing with its cubs near Matera village in Lakhimpur and the leopard came there, sparking a fight between them," District Forest Officer RK Singh said. The fight between the two continued for hours in which the leopard was killed, he said. Senior officers of the Forest Department have reached the spot.
Meanwhile, in yet another rhino poaching in Assam, a full-grown female one-horned herbivore, of highly endangered species, was killed near Kaziranga National Park while its horn was taken away. Forest officials said the female rhino which had strayed out of the park along with two males last week, was shot dead by poachers at Kameri Chapori under Numaligarh forest beat office on the outskirts of the Park three days back. The decomposed carcass of the animal was dug out on Sunday by the police after the villagers informed them of foul smell.

How the heck did a leopard survive for more than two minutes against a much larger opponent?
About 300 illegal migrants are feared to have drowned in the Bay of Bengal off the coast of India's Andaman and Nicobar islands. The migrants went missing after they jumped from a drifting boat and tried to swim ashore. More than 100 people have been rescued so far. A survivor told police that more than 400 people had been on the boat, trying to reach Malaysia. The migrants are thought to be from Bangladesh and Burma.
"One body has been recovered so far and search operations are still going on in nearby islands for survivors," Ranjith Narayan, Director General of Police in the Andaman and Nicobar islands, told the BBC. Indian coast guard officials said a group of 88 people were rescued from a small boat near Little Andaman island, about 90 km from south of the capital Port Blair. Another 11 men were found on nearby Sandy Point island. A survivor told officials that the boat had little food or water and only a plastic sheet for sail.
Preliminary investigations suggested the men had left for Malaysia in six motorised boats about 45 days ago. At some point in the journey, they changed vessels. One survivor, identified as Mohammad Ismail Arafat, said he and others had paid a Bangladeshi agent for promised jobs. "We were left to the mercy of God... after drifting for 10-15 days, when finally we saw a lighthouse, many jumped into the water," a statement by the Indian coast guard quoted him as saying.
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands lie about 1,200km (750 miles) east of the Indian mainland.

DHAKA - Bangladeshis poured out in large numbers early on Monday to vote in a landmark parliamentary election to take their country back to democracy, after two years of emergency rule by an army-backed interim government.
Voting started at 8 a.m. (0200 GMT) in more than 35,000 polling centres across the South Asian nation and will close at 4 p.m. (1000 GMT). Security forces and election monitors were present in strength in an effort to assure the election went peacefully and the results were credible.
Credible? Hah ...

ROME - More than 500 illegal immigrants arrived on Italian shores Sunday as opposition lawmakers attacked Silvio Berlusconi's right-wing coalition government for failing to tackle the problem. Some 253 illegally entered the country on Sunday morning by arriving on the southern island of Lampedusa, with a further 300 arrving on the neighbouring island of Linosa later in the day.
"The government's strategy on illegal immigration has been a miserable failure," said Marco Minniti, a senior figure inside the Democratic Party. "This year, we have already seen more than double the amount of (illegal immigrants) compared to last year," he added.
Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini called on Libya Saturday to do more to stem the flow of illegal immigrants from its shores. He explained that an agreement between Italy and Libya to cooperate further on tackling illegal immigration could not yet be put into action as it had not yet been ratified by the Italian parliament.
But Ivano Strizzolo, a Democratic Party deputy, said the deal, struck in August, had proved "totally ineffective".
Even politicians belonging to Berlusconi's ruling coalition criticised the increasing numbers of illegal immigrants. "The arrival of these poor people in Lampedusa has been orchestrated by one person... Colonel Kadhafi, former financier of international terrorism," said Mario Borghezio, a European deputy with the populist Northern League.
Immigrant arrivals by sea to Italy have greatly increased this year, surpassing 24,000 from January to mid-September, compared to a little more than 14,000 over the same period in 2007, according to Italy's interior ministry.

Truthiness gets an airing thanks to the original O
From TFA:
A heartwarming Holocaust memoir that is to become a big-budget film has been exposed as a hoax by a Jewish survivor in Britain only weeks before it was due to be published.
Herman Rosenblat's Angel at the Fence: The True Story of a Love that Survived, tells how he met his future wife as a girl when she threw apples to him over the barbed wire fence of the concentration camp where he was held.
Oprah Winfrey, who twice invited Mr Rosenblat on to her talk show, hailed the book as the single greatest love story ... we've ever told on air. The still-unpublished memoir became the basis for a children's book and $25 million (£17 million) feature film, The Flower of the Fence, which is due to start shooting in March.

Oprah seems to get suckered on these to-good-to-be-true heartwarming stories on a fairly regular basis. Seems like it would pay her to check these stories out throughly before embarrassing herself again.

O has a problem in separating a 'good story' from facts or dealing with verifying claims of facts. It's the unfortunate half of elevating 'feelings' over the brains you were given. We saw the same problem manifested last month.

I read about this yesterday and there is an opinion of some survivors that this is mostly true. Mr. Rosenblat stated that he related the events as he remembered them from the perspective of a child. He claims this is not a hoax but his best remembrance of the events as they happened.

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
