The other day when I was posting different versions of Jolene, someone tweeted to tell me that paula Cole had also done one, a fact of which I had been unaware. I’m not sure if that’s the version she was thinking of, but it was the first one I found so we’ll go with it. …

He Can Use His Year In The Holder To Read Up On Who Eric Holder Is
The life of an identity thief seems so complicated. All the detail mining and document falsification and track covering and making sure one of your victims isn’t United States Attorney General Eric Holder and…Ahhh crap! According to the Justice Department, Tadesse and another co-defendant swiped names and Social Security numbers from websites and used them …

Pantsuit
So often I read these stories and think to myself goddamn, how do you even get this drunk? This is one of those times. Bryan Hill, 24, was behind the wheel of a 2013 Honda yesterday when police found the vehicle blocking traffic, according to an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report. As detailed by a …

Michelle passed this along with the subject line “best name for a flasher ever.” If it’s not the best, it’s certainly waaaaaaaaaaay up there.

The Freedom I Find In A Guide Dog
I’m going to try and get into 2 carnivals in a row. Holy crap! So, the topic of this carnival is freedom. Funnily enough, for me, I had a bit of a harder time coming up with something. I blame being busy and tired. But after thinking for a while, I think I settled on …
Tansy’s Life Lesson
The other day, I was thinking about how Trixie modeled never giving up. I wondered what lesson Tansy could teach me, besides give everything you do everything you’ve got until you have nothing left, at which point, you just recharge and do it again. I don’t know if I could do that over and over …
I’m Going To Hit Some Bicycles, I’m Going To Kill A Tike. And When I Hit Those Bicycles, I’m Going To Sue Them If I’d Like
For some reason I’m really crappy at remembering to give shoutouts to people who send me things. So before I forget, thanks again, Michelle! I don’t think this one quite hits the state of emergency dickitry levels of police officer sues family of man he killed, but you certainly do have to be somewhere in …
The Other Awesome Version Of Jolene
The slowed down Jolene from earlier today has me thinking about the other amazing alternate version of the song, one that I haven’t heard in a while. I first heard it near the beginning of my radio days back in 2002. I don’t remember who I was talking to since I was still getting to …
Open Wide And Say Cheese!
Today in seldom used tags what need updating, we turn our attention to doctors. Specifically, 68-year-old gynecologist Dr. Paul Becton, Jr., who finds himself in 5 felonies worth of trouble for taking pictures of parts of several women that you would expect an OB/GYN to be interested in. Trouble is, you don’t expect your OB/GYN …
