Today in History: January 5, 1995: Connie Chung broadcasts Kathleen Gingrich's opinion of Hillary Clinton: bitch. Much celebration and excitement ensues.
Also on this day, in 1998, Sonny Bono smashed into a tree that leaped out in his path while skiing. Bye Bye Sonny.

Update on the sad sad story of Beki Stewart, the kid with the obscene Monsters Inc GameBoy game. Lord Mutter did additional investigation last evening and has advised me that in fact, Beki's dad gave her a bootleg/blackmarket/illegal copy of the game for Christmas.
So it wasn't Disney! It was the Evil Doers that Mark decided to do business with. Ha HA!

Dog Support
So this woman in Italy got divorced from her hubby, with him ending up paying her child support for their two children. Not satisfied with that, the wench went to court to obtain an order instructing him to pay support for their dog Pepi. Somehow the insane woman swayed the judge and now the ex gets to pay support for the food and vet bills that Pepi incurs to the tune of many hundred bucks per year. Ugh.

Speaking of Dogs...
Chiclet, a Brazilian pet care firm, has launched its latest product to rave reviews: chewing gum for dogs. I can't picture my beagle chewing gum, but hey. This gum is actually made of edible leather and looks like a bone. Chiclet says it serves to destress the dogs and clean their teeth.
Strange. Sounds like a regular old chew toy to me.

Have it Your Way...NOT
A 22 year old mystery man got ticked off at a Burger King in Sandy, PA. He went through the drive through and requested fries. Went told that they ran out, dude went ballistic, cursing out the staff and flipping the burger flippers the bird. Then he noticed that a couple of the employees had walked out to the parking lot to jot down his license plate number. So he floored it and nearly slammed one of them. Cops picked him up on Rt 255, but not after he fought with them and kicked out the back window of the police car.
The man WANTED his fries.

I Want A Ride and I Want It Now
James Brown (no, not THAT James Brown) was visiting New Orleans and really really really wanted to get to the bus station. So he picked up the phone and dialed 911. Cops raced out to the phone booth where the call originated and there they found James, threatening to kill someone if he didn't get a ride to the bus station. Cops tried to reason with the dude, but it was hopeless. So they plopped him in their car and took him for a ride: to the slammer.

A 67 year old man from the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv was knocked over by a car and taken to the hospital. At the hospital, doctors spoke to the still-conscious inidividual and determined that he was a touch intoxicated. Astronomically intoxicated. Buddy had a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.914 ~ almost double what is usually considered life-threatening! Docs ran the tests 5 times to be sure they were seeing straighter than their patient and yup, that's the BAC. Buddy was treated for minor head injuries and is in stable condition.
