LOL. I’m still waiting for the paternity results, but yes, it appears that there’s a 99.99% chance of them being the same story.

GOP politician helps towns enact anti-illegal immigration ordinances, towns lose in court, have to pay hefty fines, and politician still gets paid. Real-life Music Man, or the monorail salesman on Simpsons. Whatever your generation prefers:

"The government also took everything he owned. Back in Lawrenceville, his neighbors watched as agents drove away in his brand new Honda S2000 sports car, and other vehicles including a luxury Acura, a minivan, and an ’86 Chevy El Camino."

Living large!

"Yeah man... El Camino"

Absolutely crazy story about stolen winning McDonald’s monopoly tickets. Long article, but worth it. This caught my interest from the beginning:

I have no memory of this; does anyone else? Like the article states, maybe it’s because the trial started on September 10, 2001.

Jacobson was the head of a sprawling network of mobsters, psychics, strip club owners, convicts, drug traffickers, and even a family of Mormons, who had falsely claimed more than $24 million in cash and prizes.

Good article on rapidly declining water in some Arizona wells. Basically, lack of adequate regulation has allowed the growing agriculture sector to deplete water, which has forced residents to abandon homes:

I just finished reading that. It seems that nobody wants to actually make some rules to keep from using up all of the water in Arizona. I guess it will eventually turn back into a desert there.

It makes me happy that I now live where it's still okay to waste water. (Just kidding, 30 years in California taught me to conserve.)
