A guy I went to high school with was hospitalized with liver damage for about a week after combining Tylenol and alcohol. (I don't know the exact amount. He had a party while his parents were away from home that got busted by the police. He took some Tylenol and went to bed, then woke up a few times, still having a headache, and took some more Tylenol. He said he didn't know exactly how much he took.)

The Korean pitcher would do this sorta' sideways throw... what's up with that?

Bret Saberhagen style?

Over 360 animals have been rescued from a hoarder in the town where my dad grew up. I'm betting my dad went to school with this woman.

I tend to skip those stories, as hearing about bad things happening to pets upsets me.

Mayor Orders Dogs Released Into Forest

You've heard it before.....Arkansas animal shelters struggling to take care of unwanted dogs and cats. One mayor has decided the best way to fix the problem in his town is to set the animals free. KARK visited the Helena-West Helena animal shelter back in January. Conditions were dirty and animals were in poor health. Thursday, KARK learned the town's mayor James Valley has taken the unconventional approach of releasing the animals into the wild. In a press release, the mayor says "we fed and watered them and took them to the St. Francis National Forest."

We're told about ten dogs, including several pit bulls were set free and that some of the dogs were sick.

WTF?

That's the same place that this story comes from.

ACLU cries foul as city nets arrests with 24-hour curfew

Sad place.

Article on the women's gymnastics last night: [link]

The American girls came out onto the floor in shiny red leotards that made them look like Las Vegas showgirls. On average 30 pounds heavier and 3.5 inches taller than the doll-sized Chinese gymnasts, they had the sheen of aging starlets, imbuing the scene with a peculiar Sunset Boulevard feel.

The hell?

Heh.

The Chair of the Arkansas Democratic Party was shot at the Headquarters.

ACLU cries foul as city nets arrests with 24-hour curfew

Yeah. He's allowed by law to declare curfew for 48 hours. So he's just doing it over and over and over....

"Now if somebody wants to sue us, they have an option to sue, but I'm fairly certain that a judge will see it the way the way the citizens see it here," Mayor James Valley said. "The citizens deserve peace, that some infringement on constitutional rights is OK and we have not violated anything as far as the Constitution."

...

Valley's curfew will remain in place for all minors, but adults will be allowed out if they can answer questions about their need to be outside their homes.

"The Peace of the Gun."

Was Zell Miller involved in any way?

A 24 hour curfew?? Yeah, I'd say that's pretty fucking RIDICULOUS. (Also, at what point is that NOT martial law, really?)
