Christine Goodenow and associates

A woman bought a winning lottery ticket worth $1 million with a stolen credit card and could wind up with nothing if convicted, police said. Christina Goodenow, 38, of White City in southern Oregon faced numerous theft-related charges, forgery and possession of methamphetamine, said authorities, who searched her home Thursday. The card belonged to a deceased relative, they said. Well,… (more…)

Charlie Daniels

As mentioned in the previous post, tonight’s entertainment was Charlie Daniels.  Now, this is not as off the beaten track as you would think.  Well, maybe it was.  You see, I had a mission for this show.  I was to locate a fiddle, take it to Charlie, have him sign it, and in a couple of weeks, auction it off… (more…)

Wanna see something REALLY scary?

The apparent suicide of a woman found hanging from a tree went unreported for hours because passers-by thought the body was a Halloween decoration, authorities said. The 42-year-old woman used rope to hang herself across the street from some homes on a moderately busy road late Tuesday or early Wednesday, state police said. The body, suspended about 15 feet above… (more…)

Def Leppard Live!

Went to see Def Leppard last night.  Excellent show.  They did their staples to perfection.  That part was OK.  However, they tossed in David Essex’s "Rock On", and absolutely gave it a whole new sound.  If this song is not on one of their new albums, IT NEEDS TO BE!  I enjoyed their performance of that song probably more than… (more…)

Sheryl Swoopes on people being confused

Houston Comets forward Sheryl Swoopes is opening up about being a lesbian, telling a magazine that she’s "tired of having to hide my feelings about the person I care about." That part’s not that big a deal, but then she adds, "Do I think I was born this way? No," Swoopes said. "And that’s probably confusing to some, because I… (more…)

Gary J. Moody, peeper

This goes beyond idiot of the day: A Maine man arrested after he was found peering at a teenage girl at a rest-stop outhouse pleaded no contest to criminal trespass, and a judge urged him to seek help for whatever drove him to climb into the waste-filled toilet. Gary J. Moody was given a 30-day sentence that will be suspended… (more…)

Fair Price for a Lap dance?

By ELISABETH EAVES Paris “It’S happened again. Another innocent man who just wanted a few lap dances claims to have been victimized by an exclusive New York strip club, Scores. This time it’s an executive from Missouri named Robert McCormick, who, treating himself and friends, ran up a $241,000 bill at Scores on his corporate American Express card two years… (more…)

Our Two Hands

Why women have two hands: Why men have two hands:

$10,726.26

Eugene Volokh whines: Paul Caron reports that The Volokh Conspiracy is worth $1.3 million (OK, probably not enough to justify a corporate jet, even if it was a sensible estimate). Then, to make himself feel better, points us amateurs to do the same thing: My blog is worth $10,726.26.How much is your blog worth? Feel better Eugene? ( I don’t… (more…)

Ashlee Simpson vs Stevie Wonder?

Ashlee Simpson, the terminally untalented and annoying sister of pop star Jessica Simpson, has the No. 1 album this week with the aptly titled, "I Am Me." Simpson, famous for lip-synching on "Saturday Night Live," is outselling multiple Grammy-winner and legend Stevie Wonder two-to-one, despite positive reviews for his new album, "A Time To Love". Roger Friedman of Fox is… (more…)
