A Jefferson County Jail inmate has quite a tale to tell about how he got there. The nude man claimed to be Jesus Christ and George Bush when sheriff's deputies shot him with a stun gun after he ignored their commands.
A motorist spotted the 30-year-old standing nude in the middle of Alabama [highway] 79 early Friday morning and called police. The man struggled with police and was shot with a Taser four times before they subdued him and put him in handcuffs and leg irons.
He told the deputies he was Jesus Christ and George Bush "When he said that, he told him we'd sic Nancy Pelosi on him if he didn't come along quietly."
and could break the handcuffs. Police say he appeared to be intoxicated. No! yer kidding.
The man was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Resisting arrest, ya say? That explains why he needed four tasers. Too many ohms.

Jesus Christ, George Bush and the Holy Ghost of Vince Lombardi.

Christ or Bush? Doesnt matter - the Libs want to crucify either of them if they come around again.
(not saying Bush is Christ-like, just that the libs these days are more concerned about punishing those they hate than actually promoting liberty or helping people in any genuine fashion)
Everyone's talking about Ashley Dupre's tattoo that reads, in faux Latin: "tutela valui." Dupre was Eliot Spitzer's favorite prostitute, so people want to understand the words. But like those ridiculous Chinese characters fools have permanently inked on their carcasses, Dupre's tattoo botches the language. The Daily News delves into scholarly interpretation of the whore's bikini line:
Tutela, which is related to tutor, has to do with a protector or guardian. Valui appears to be a past form of the word strong.
"So I guess you would say it means, 'I have a strong patron' or 'I have a strong keeper,'" said Doug Machle, assistant to the chairman in the classics department at the University of Washington.
"Or, actually, it's more like, 'My guardian was strong.'"...
Mark Buchan, a classics professor at Columbia, took a different tack, musing that it could mean "safe haven."
The Columbia professor gives Ashley credit even as she tattoos herself with bad Latin for seeing herself (or her body part) as the strong one and having a sense of humor about sex.
Prof. Althouse's commenters propose some alternate interpretations:
'My guardian was strong.'"... OR
My pimp is tough.
"Medical professors disagreed with their colleagues in the classics department, explaining the it wasn't faux Latin, but faux Roman numerals. "It's an ICD-9 code" said one professor. He declined to specify which one, but stated, "Basically, it's an STD warning label".
My Latin is fuzzy so I had to venture a guess. "Tutela" perhaps derived from tukus or dupa referring to her ass aka moneymaker. And "Valui" refering to money or value. So "Tutela Valui" could mean "Ass For Sale".
It's the Latin phrase for laser surgery at mid-life.

They are?
Sorry. Must've missed the nationwide alert.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a former Democratic presidential contender, said Monday he wants the House to consider a resolution to impeach President Bush.
Kucinich, D-Ohio, read his proposed impeachment language in a floor speech. He contended Bush deceived the nation and violated his oath of office in leading the country into the Iraq war.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi consistently has said impeachment was "off the table."

Meet Obama's vice presidential candidate. A surefire insurance policy for Obama for anything which may befall him.
A city Health Department study finds that more than a fourth of adult New Yorkers are infected with the virus that causes genital herpes.
I haven't spent all that much time in Noo Yawk, and when I have, I've kept my pants on. I'm kinda glad I did.
The study, released Monday, says about 26 percent of New York City adults have genital herpes, compared to about 19 percent nationwide.
I didn't realize it was that high. Monogamy does have its benefits...
The department says genital herpes can double a person's risk for contracting HIV. Herpes can cause painful sores, but most people have no recognizable symptoms. The health department urges consistent use of condoms, and says its STD clinics offer free, confidential herpes testing.

A lot of older human behaviors often manifested as 'tradition' or 'taboos' were founded upon the ancients figuring out that there was some negative consequences to certain acts. The ancients didn't understand the underlying causal factor but they did comprehend cause>effect. So they implemented rituals and prohibitions, a bit religious, a bit ceremonial. Today we're so modern that we're above all that superstition and we reap what we sow.

I thought the rate was higher, 1 in 4 adults. So looking it up at emedicine.com:
#The prevalence of HSV-2 infections has dramatically increased in recent years. The third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994) found that 22% of the general US population older than 12 years had antibodies to HSV-2. In another survey of patients in a suburban primary care office, 25.5% of patients were seropositive for HSV-2. Approximately 500,000 primary infections occur each year.
Factors that increase the frequency of HSV-2 infection in older adolescents and adults include sex (more women than men), race (more African Americans than whites), marital status (more divorced individuals than single or married individuals), and place of residence (more city residents than suburban residents).
# The prevalence of HSV-2 antibodies among African Americans is 3-4 times higher than that among whites. Seroprevalence among women of childbearing age in the late 1970s was estimated to be 50% for African Americans and 20% for whites. By the late 1980s, rates of infection had increased to approximately 60% for African Americans and 35% for whites. As shown in 2 nationwide surveys of HSV-2 seroprevalence in the last 2 decades, the cumulative lifetime incidence of HSV-2 reaches 25% in white women, 20% in white men, 80% in African American women, and 60% in African American men.
# Studies have indicated that the seroprevalence of HSV-2 antibodies among Hispanics ranges from 17-22.3%.
And P2K in #3 has it exactly right. Tiny differences in survival rates over hundreds of years have massive effects.

Al Franken won a resounding endorsement for the U.S. Senate on Saturday from Minnesota Democrats, quickly dispatching with concerns about jokes that offended some and promising a tough challenge to Republican Sen. Norm Coleman. "To the people of Minnesota, let me say this: I'm not a perfect person," said Franken, a former "Saturday Night Live" writer and performer. "I'm not going to pretend to have all the answers. But I'll tell the truth, I will keep my spine, and I will work for you."
Franken's only competitor, college professor and peace activist Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer, withdrew after Franken passed the necessary 60 percent threshold on the first ballot. Nelson-Pallmeyer proposed that delegates unanimously back Franken, putting him over the top.
Franken's show of strength came as something of a surprise after a rocky few weeks in which some Democrats, led by U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum, criticized a racy column he wrote for Playboy magazine in 2000 and, earlier this week, joking comments he was reported to have made about rape that were included in a 1995 New York magazine article about "Saturday Night Live."

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
