Oh hey, here’s the one of several videos of Wisconsin legislator Jeff Wood getting arrested for DUI. Look out for that first step Jeff, it’s a dooooooozzzzie!

From the Grand Forks Herald: “A Mound man charged with sex crimes for allegedly abusing a female relative has told police it was God’s will that he “marry” the girl when she was just 10 years old… [the man] believes the Bible justifies his actions.

The best part though is the closer: “…attorney, David Risk, says some of his client’s beliefs are outside the norm.”

Left: North Dakota Rep. David Weiler: “David Alan Weiler, 44, was charged Friday with Class A misdemeanor simple assault-domestic violence. He pleaded not guilty. The police report said Nicole Weiler reported David Weiler became angry and punched her in the face several times. The report did not say what began the alleged dispute… David Weiler pleaded guilty in April 2009 to Class B misdemeanor simple assault for assaulting his wife on March 27.”

Right: Wisconsin Rep. Jeff Wood: “State Rep. Jeff Wood fought to save his job Wednesday, expressing remorse for a past drunken driving offense but saying he would fight charges in two subsequent arrests. Wood, who said he had no memory of his most recent arrest in October 2009 for driving under the influence, conceded he’s struggled with alcoholism and admitted to driving drunk in December 2008. Wood also testified that the stress of his re-election bid in 2008 pushed him to drinking ‘pretty much daily.’ But he said he would contest charges related to his two arrests in September and October 2009, which he linked to prescription medications.”

Red Box movie rental stations are great. For $1 per day you get a recent release. Unlike Netflix, which appears to have so many users now that the “Long Wait” tag is basically the default setting for any newly released film anyone might even be remotely interested in seeing. Red Box though: It’s fast. Economical. Efficient. Easy. So I expect they will soon be somehow removed by the film industry.

One enjoyable detail of Red Box is the knock-off B films meant to capitalize on popular current releases. Right now there is a film floating around in there titled “Alice.” Alice is no total shitburger though. It stars Tim Curry and Kathy Bates as the Red Queen.  It appears to have been some kind of TV show that was shown on the SyFy (Sci-Fi) channel. So how does it stack up?

Something tells me this Beaver Dam, Wisc. bar isn’t a legal brand extension.

After the Tea Party wins control of the Senate on a platform of education reform, here is what will probably become a historically accurate image of George Washington fighting a tiger.

 Who needs concealed carry handguns when we have chairs? From the Grand Forks Herald: “Former officer opens fire in crowded bar”

“The gunman entered Jim’s Sports Club Bar and Grill through a back door Saturday night and started shooting at a table of patrons, which included his ex-wife… a bystander smashed a wooden chair over the gunman’s head, knocking him unconscious. “

Over at Say Anything Blog “North Dakota’s Most Popular Political Blog™” it appears they’re featuring content from past years. Like this 1991 debate about gays, AIDS and blood donation.

Oh wait, what’s that? This is a debate from two days ago? Oh my. Good to see rationality and factual information have finally started making it to North Dakota.

I have simply no idea why so much of the nation thinks about the wonderful Peace Garden State as an intellectual backwater full of hypocrisy about free living and individual rights.

Yes, the post office.. the employer of Mr. McFeely and my grandma (no joke).. is now an evil socialist entity that is to be here on out referred to in right-wing blog headlines as a “monopoly.” You know, like the socialist monopoly held by the police force.
