Man Drives Home with Headless Friend
ATLANTA (Reuters) - A Georgia man who drove home with a friend's headless body after a truck accident then went to bed while the remains dangled out the window faces charges including vehicular homicide and drunk driving, police said on Monday.
John Hutcherson, covered in blood and visibly inebriated, was arrested in bed on Sunday morning after a local resident out on a stroll observed a headless, bloody body hanging out of the 21-year-old man's truck, Cobb County police said.
Hutcherson was due to make an initial court appearance on Monday.
Police said that Hutcherson and his friend, identified as Francis Brohm, 23, were returning from a bar outside Atlanta early Sunday morning when their black 1992 Chevrolet Z-71 pickup hit a curb near a telephone pole.
Brohm, partially outside the window at the time, was decapitated by a guide wire on the telephone pole, according to police, who recovered his head at the crash site. "Alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor," police said.

such a shame to lose a jurist with such passion for the law
Judge Accused of Masturbating Resigns
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (Reuters) - An Oklahoma judge facing removal over charges that he masturbated and used a device for enhancing erections under his robes during trials said on Wednesday he would retire from the bench.
Creek County District Judge Donald Thompson, 57, wrote to Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry resigning effective Sept. 1, a move that will allow him to retire with a full pension.
A former state representative and a judge for 22 years, Thompson was accused by state Attorney General Drew Edmondson of using a "penis pump" to enhance erections during trials and exposing himself to a court reporter several times while masturbating on the bench.
The state Court on the Judiciary was scheduled to hear a motion on Friday to suspend Thompson.
The judge has denied the charges and did not refer to them in his letter of resignation.
"I have greatly enjoyed my public service and offer my gratitude for the public trust reposed in me during the terms I served," he said.
"greatly enjoyed" probably wasn't the greatest word choice thompson could have made, eh?

Burglar with the Munchies
SEATTLE (Reuters) - A hungry burglar more interested in food than glittering jewelry broke into nearly a dozen Seattle homes in the last week to gobble down vast quantities of food before being arrested, police said on Wednesday.
In one instance the ravenous burglar consumed six shrimp kebabs, a dozen mini corndogs, half a large package of lunch meat, a box of Creamsicles, a dozen clumps of frozen cookie dough, several handfuls of M&Ms, two fruit drinks and a glass of milk, according to Julie Sanchez, one of the burglary victims interviewed on local television.
The man, in his late 20s, was not identified by the police since he has not yet been charged with a crime. He was arrested after being caught rifling through a purse at a church in the northern part of Seattle, and his descriptions and belongings matched evidence from the burglaries.
"It's unusual to the extent that food appeared to his main motive," said Seattle police spokeswoman Christina Bartlett.
In some cases, the burglar grabbed readily available cash from the homes he invaded, but usually left other items, such as Sanchez's three-diamond ring and earrings, untouched on the kitchen table.
In another break-in, the burglar thawed frozen steaks, fried them, and ate them while watching television until being found by the returning homeowners and chased away, according to police.

- ok, a few things:
- when the homeowners who caught this guy in post steak food coma, what did they use to chase him away. broom? rolling pin? rolled up newspaper? presumably, no matter their choice, they at least uttered an industry standard "shoo"
- are the victims where this guy was able to eat "six shrimp kebabs, a dozen mini corndogs, half a large package of lunch meat, a box of Creamsicles, a dozen clumps of frozen cookie dough, several handfuls of M&Ms, two fruit drinks and a glass of milk" under investigation for being total fucking stoners?
- are american idol runners up really paid poorly enough to force reuben to turn to this? it would seem so...

a question...
ridddle me this, law talking types...
if in fact nomar injured his ankle playing soccer (SOCCER, yet?!?!?) with his wifey as it is being suggested, and lied about the magic ground ball from the grassy knoll that did a 180 and came around and hit him in the back of the ankle during spring training BP, why isn't anyone looking to put his ass in the stir about it?
i presume that nomar is insured by the sox, and that the insurer had to pony up and pay something north of $4.5 million out for the 72+ games he missed this year.
aaron boone got squat (diddly) when he blew out his knee hoopin. nomar defrauds someone out of millions, and there is nothing?
you have to admit that the pettiest meanest smallest part of you would be elated if somehow the nomar ugliness culminated with him in jail. betecha he wouldn't have seen that coming, huh?
with the dollars involved (and the many lawyers walking the streets freely), i would think that someone would be pursuing this. seems like fraud to me... if not, why not?

Roger Clemens ejected from son's baseball championship game
CRAIG, Colo. (AP) -- Houston Astros pitcher Roger Clemens was asked to leave a youth baseball game over the weekend for arguing a close call that went against his son's team.
Clemens was at the game Saturday watching his son, Kacy, compete in a 10-and-under game organized by Triple Crown Sports when Clemens contested a call at second base that went against the Katy Cowboys.
He spit sunflower seeds at an umpire's leg and was asked to leave, said Jim Carpenter, a field supervisor with Triple Crown.
``I supported the umpire's decision and he (Clemens) respectfully left,'' Carpenter told the Craig Daily Press.
Katy lost the game to the Bakersfield Curve, 11-5.
Triple Crown Sports features a franchise system aimed at pitting top teams from across the country against each other.
Clemens' agent, Randall Hendricks, did not immediately return a call Monday. Clemens has racked up 322 wins and 4,240 strikeouts in his 21-year major league career.
it seems fortunate for all concerned that the rocket didn't bring the barrel of a mike piazza bat to the game as planned...
RETRACTED: (shamefacedly)
as it turns out, it seems that the rocket was in fact guilty of nothing more than being the mostestest famousest guy at the game that would seem likely to earn an ejection. although... Conspiracy theorists might run with the thought that clemens might have thrown his 48" butt's worth of future hall of fame 300+ win weight around to get KKKKKacy's league to spin this one for him.
however, ockham and his razor suggest a full apology is in order to roger. so provided.
it seems the allure of how good this would be if it were true got the better of editorial rigor in this case. we at blogMixy now have a little more empathy for FOXNEWS....
