I bought new this time, but I could swear my Kia came from these people.

I don't usually post things like this, but this case has been really bothering me. What it comes down to is life or death for Troy Davis.

Davis is on death row in Georgia. He was convicted of killing a police officer. He was scheduled to die, but the Supreme Court issued a stay so that they could decide whether or not to grant him an appeal.

Now the Supreme Court has decided to deny the appeal, clearing the way for Davis to be executed. He will be put to death on Monday, October 27, 2008 unless there is some intervention between now and then.

Here's some of the reasons intervention in this case is necessary and the RIGHT thing to do:

Seven of the nine key witnesses against Davis have recanted their testimony. No murder weapon or physical evidence implicating Davis was found. The case against Davis was made on the testimony of these nine witnesses. One of the witnesses still standing behind the story that Davis is guilty is thought to be the person actually responsible for the murder... so he's got a lot to lose if he changes his story, huh?

So, on the faulty and coerced testimony of these witnesses, this man was sentenced to die. And now the state of Georgia says that it's time.

Please take a moment to send an e-mail to the Georgia Board of Pardons and the governor of Georgia, asking them to halt the execution of this man whose guilt is highly questionable. It's very easy to do and just takes a minute - Click here to help

So what did you have for lunch? Bet it wasn't all that interesting.. not as interesting as say.. a small aircraft would have been.. or a set of false teeth that belong to someone else.

Yep, human beings have swallowed these things. And thanks to X-Ray Technician Schools you can read all about these and other batshit crazy things people have eaten.

The last thing I want to do is make fun of someone with a disability. However, Tourettes Guy brings it on himself. He also drinks a lot of beer, which doesn't help his condition.

Update: After I posted this, I found out that Danny, aka Tourettes Guy, passed away last year after a car accident. RIP Danny! BALLLLLLLLLLLS!

According to news reports, Chrystopher-Lee Schaeffer, 21, and a 16-year-old friend were found asleep under a dog blanket on the roof of a news agency in Ipswitch, Massachusetts.

Police were called to the news agency when the owners reported a possible break-in at approximately 2 a.m. When the cops got there, they found the guys asleep and surrounded by various magazines, drinks, food and dog snacks. They had apparently not broken into the news agency, but had taken the items from a storage shed loaded with store supplies.

The 16-year-old was sentenced to community service. Schaeffer pleaded guilty to one count of entering the premises with the intent of committing an offense and one count of illegally being on or the a premises. Schaeffer's lawyer said he was a good kid and he had no idea why they thought it was a good idea to take the dog food.

Schaeffer was sentenced to perform 50 hours of community service.

So 13 years to the day after he was acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, the jury in the robbery/kidnapping case deliberated for 13 hours and came back with a guilty verdict for OJ. Now OJ might spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Do I think he should spend the rest of his life in prison? Of course. However, if it is the current 12 crimes that he was convicted of that we're talking about...I have to reluctantly say no.

I don't know if OJ is incredibly stupid or just obnoxiously arrogant. Maybe it's both. He got away with a double murder, so why wouldn't he think that it would be fine to gather up his thugs and go manhandle these sports junk dealers? He didn't bank on them reporting it to the police I guess.

The thing is, I guess I just don't think what he did this time is bad enough to warrant a life sentence. It wasn't nice and it certainly was criminal, but if the judge (who btw seems to hate OJ) is fair about it, I really don't think that he's going to get life or anything like it.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. I'm glad he didn't get off scott free this time, but if the punishment fits these particular crimes, I think it's just wishful thinking that he'll be a very old man and still be in jail.

A 10-year-old boy in Utah was injured and had to be flown to the hospital after an accident. The accident happened while his mom was driving her vehicle and he was standing outside on the running board and holding onto the side-view mirror.

The mom told police that she lets her kids do this often and never thought that an accident like this would happen. She has an 8-year-old daughter that was also allowed to car surf on the outside of the vehicle.

DUH.

Here's the kicker.. she says that she was going under the speed limit when it happened. Oh, I guess that makes it okay then. She was doing laps around the trailer park at (she says) approximately 5 miles per hour with the kids hanging onto the outside of the car.

Nice mom.

When the kid fell off the car, this mother of the year didn't even notice. She said she didn't know it happened until she got out of the car and found him laying face down on the pavement.

Oh those wacky Canadians

In Edmonton a bus driver was attacked by a would-be passenger who had missed the bus.

The attacker apparently arrived at the bus stop a moment or so too late and decided to chase the bus down while banging on its windows. The driver stopped and let the man on, but told him that it was unsafe to chase a bus like that and that it might have just been better to wait for the next one.

Well, the guy apparently took offense at the driver's comment and kicked him in the groin. Somehow the driver was able to get him off the bus after being kicked and closed the bus doors.

After kicking the bus door the attacker got away without being apprehended and police are still looking for him.

So you see, with the elements of Canadian people and a groin kick in this story, I just found it irresistible.

Especially before watching porn at school. ESPECIALLY if you are the teacher.

A high school photography teacher in Phoenix, Arizona has been put on administrative leave while a criminal investigation into an extremely embarrassing incident is conducted.

Here's what went down:

The teacher assigned half the class to grab their cameras and go take some pictures, while approximately 13 of the teens remained in the classroom to work on a project.

While the kids were occupied, the teacher kicked back to watch some bondage porn videos. One major problem with this, other than the obvious, was that he had forgotten that he had plugged his laptop in to the overhead projector earlier.

So the students viewed six bondage sex videos while the teacher sat, totally engrossed with his laptop. Some of the students said they tried to signal the teacher and even made comments like "Wow.. what is that?" but he was too into the porn to realize what was happening.

Arcadia High School is now reportedly looking for a qualified photography teacher.

In Arizona, Bella the cat recently took a trip. Bella stowed away in a spare tire under her owner's vehicle and went on a 75 mile ride.

When the guy stopped his truck, he heard a cat crying and realized that it was Bella. When she came out from under the truck she was hysterical, dehydrated and shaky but has since recovered nicely.

The man had to cancel his meetings for the day to take her home, and now checks under his truck before going anywhere.
