Recruiters lie

by

After shooting video undercover in 10 Army recruiting offices in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, ABC News released in November an episode of recruiters telling a prospect that no one is going to Iraq anymore. “No, we’re bringing people back,” he said, and his partner followed with, “We’re not at war. War ended a long time ago.”

In a separate on-camera interview, Col. Robert Manning, who is in charge of Army recruiting in the Northeast, generously told ABC News that he disagreed with the recruiters. “We are a nation and Army at war still.”

Sometimes it pays to be a drug addict

by

In November, Britain’s Home Office announced that it agreed to a settlement to a lawsuit that had been created by 197 Heroin-addicted prisoners that it was “assault” and violation of European Convention on Human Rights for them to have been denied drugs almost immediately after they were arrested. The government has agreed to pay each of the prisoners the equivalent of about $7000.

The red bra

by

A likely story? Two men in a Dodge Neon were seriously injured in a rollover accident on Interstate 75 near Toledo, Ohio, in October after a red bra flew from the radio antenna of another car, startling the Neon driver and causing him to swerve and lose control.

The Ohio Highway Patrol later learned that the owner of the bra had hung it from the aerial after she realized that it had broken because her dog had chewed on it earlier that day. Why on earth would she string a broken bra from her cars antenna? Didn’t it break inside the house?

A prosecutor said a misdemeanor littering charge would be filed against the woman, but was exploring whether there had been out-the-window socializing between the cars’ occupants before the rollover.






Thief wants reference from former employer

by

Karen madden, 38, who confessed to stealing $550,000 worth of jewelry and handbags from the residence of her former boss, who is the chancellor of the state’s college system, is going to trial in Harrisburg, Pa.

Oddly enough, she seems to think that she’s still worthy of asking for a work reference “Just for the work part?” from the Chancellor who is testifying at a hearing this coming July on the charges. She asked him when she’d recently called him to apologize. Now that girl has balls, doesn’t she?
