News That is ….Different !
Nairobi: A Kenyan woman,angered because of a persistent local famine,placed a “powerful tribal curse on God” before going to bed.
Something may have gone awry: she died in her sleep.
Leavenworth,Kansas : Police were intrigued to learn a man suspected of drug dealing was handing out business cards; and made it their business to obtain one.
The card bore an image of a boxing glove striking a clock, with the legend: “For a quick hit on time, call The Boss !”
A handy telephone number was furnished : something the police made good use of.
Apparently the old slogan :” Advertising doesn’t Cost – It Pays !” isn’t always true.
Springfield, Ore: An armed robber held up a diner on a Monday,but was unhappy with the amount of money his deeds had netted-so he decided to return on Wednesday , for “seconds”.
After robbing the diner a second time, he fled across the parking lot: firing his pistol repeatedly to discourage pursuit …but managed, somehow ,to shoot himself in the foot.
Richmond, Va : A State Legislator, who decided to unload his pistol while sitting in his State House office , got an instant lesson in safe gun-handling practices , when the pistol fired.
Fortunately – for all concerned – a local Sheriff had given the lawmaker a bulletproof vest as a “gag gift” ; and the vest, hanging on the solon’s door, stopped the .380 slug.
The only damage was to the Legislator’s pride: He has felt compelled to issue numerous public apologies , and will probably be long remembered as someone who shot off his gun instead of his mouth.
Fortunately, most embarrassing mistakes are covered up. They happen quite often in business.
ROFL - now seriously, how can we get the Dems to conduct a tribal curse on their party....hmmmm
Like the statue of Dagon, the Philistine Fish-God, fallen twice down before the Ark of The Covenant.
Criminals: Careless with guns.
State legislators: Even more careless with guns!
you mean they didn't? Then what was all that hubaloo concerning Kerry and Little John as Presidential running mates?

They're working on it right now.
It's called a filibuster. If they do it ...
Death arrives when that becomes a topic in
the State of the Union address.
I think that was a tribal curse from Mozamique on Mama T Hinds.
NATCH!
"Death arrives when that becomes a topic in
the State of the Union address."
Ah, the veritable blow-dart of democracy!
If Kennedy and Kerry aren't tribal curses I don't know what would qualify.
I read in an earlier thread that the gun in question was a Keltec .380. I'd bet what happened was that he ejected the magazine and aimed at the vest and pulled the trigger forgetting about the 'one in the pipe'. What a twit.
You say this like there's a difference between criminals and legislators....
