Independent Missionary succumbs to auto asphyxiation by goat sects

Local pastor killed by goat

this story is just loaded with comedic gold.

The wife of a prominent Montgomery County pastor told deputies that her husband was apparently killed by a goat he was trying to return to a fenced-in area near their state Highway 13 home, according to Montgomery County Sheriff's Office spokesman Chaplain Ted Denny.

The Rev. Liston Richardson, 76, pastor of Sunnyview Independent Missionary Baptist Church, was found dead by his wife, Lucille, after he didn’t return for some time, according to an incident report.

Mrs. Richardson told Deputy David Johnson she found her husband laying on the ground — the rope used to tie the goat wrapped around Mr. Richardson's neck and feet. She said she noticed he wasn't breathing, but when she tried to get near her husband, the goat tried to attack her.

"It was a tragic accident," said Denny, who knew Mr. Richardson. "He was a wonderful man of God."

The goat was later shot, Denny said.

"Jessie Vigil's vehicle is seen at his home in Las Vegas, N.M. in March 2007. Vigil's black-and-white car sports a red-and-blue emergency bar across the top and the word 'police' painted on the doors. Law enforcement agencies say what he's done with his car isn't illegal as long as he doesn't act like a police officer." story here

I would argue that a lack of common sense is indeed acting like a police officer, or at least certain law enforcement officials.

America's Pastime

It's baseball season!

Because nothing spells unbearable condemnation like a UN resolution.

"The leniency shown to celebrity drug-users in Britain came under severe criticism from the United Nations yesterday.

The UN's drug control agency said the easy ride given to stars by police, prosecutors and the courts sent out the wrong message to young people and generated cynicism over drug laws."

I'm pretty sure I speak for most everybody in saying ... "duh".
oh wait, sorry, that was the court-generated cynicism speaking. So what is the "wrong" message that is being sent? Newsflash: Celebrities get special treatment!
No doubt this 'severe criticism' handed down by the UN is going to whip Britain's legal system into shape and in so doing wipe out celebrity drug abuse.
...and then the UN can get back to straightening out that little misunderstanding in Darfur.

Apparently Mr. Heffner is getting bored/senile and is now entertaining thoughts of 12yo boys. The twins apparently aren't falling for it however, and are holding out for something more "classy". I've got news for them.
