In other news on The Smoking Gun, this sidesplitting little tidbit (I'm sorry, the very first sentence and the very last sentence, both made me laugh OUT LOUD):
JANUARY 19-Sydney Simpson, the 19-year-old daughter of O.J. Simpson, the acquitted murderer, was arrested Saturday following a tangle with Florida cops. According to the below Miami Police Department report, officers responded to Ransom Everglades School after getting a call about a fight occurring after a varsity basketball game. Simpson, who was at the game watching her alma mater Gulliver Prep, allegedly yelled and cursed at cops, who asked her three times to calm down. When she refused, Simpson was arrested for disorderly conduct. When she slapped at an officer's hand, Simpson, a Boston University freshman, earned herself a resisting arrest charge, which carries a maximum jail term of one year (the discon count could cost her up to 60 days in the can). Things could have been worse, though, since two teenage girls told cops that Simpson struck them in the face during the post-game scrum. However, both girls declined to press battery charges. (docs. attached).
Do you think, perhaps, those girls think pressing charges just *might* be more trouble than it's worth? Haha.
On another note, TSG publishes not the complaints that people made to the FCC regarding the Nicolette Sheraton towel-drop, but the complaints that people made about the people who made complaints! What could be better? This one had me rolling. Obviously, dude can't spell so good, but he's got heart, and he makes a damn good point!
But I couldn't publish this entry without mentioning the sheriff who has a thing for pink.
JANUARY 14--The Arizona sheriff who makes inmates wear pink boxer shorts and sleep on pink bed sheets has introduced a new item in his girlish inventory: fluorescent pink handcuffs. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's deputies will place the new pink cuffs on inmates during transport. The controversial Arpaio--who never misses a chance to degrade prisoners--claims that he actually ordered 1000 sets of the pink restraints as part of an inventory control plan.
Now that's a torture tactic I can support. Not that there's anything wrong with pink. I looove pink.

I went to hundreds of them in high school and other than sneaking in bottles of Mad Dog we were "cool"..
HAHAHA..I laughed at that little remark about the girls not pressing charges against Simpson..man if she had a pair of gloves that had fallen out of her purse I would have been getting my ass out of Dodge!

"Ah! PINK!

I have been watching the Seinfeld DVD set and it is most interesting how horribly all of the cast is dressed, especially Jerry who seems to prefer pink shirts.
I love that show.
Posted by: geeekgirl at January 25, 2005 11:39 AMI like pink because it helps me in my quest to appear more innocent. I have to compensate for having trouble written on my forehead. Maybe that's what the Sheriff is trying to do. He just wants the prisoners to have better self esteem. Maybe Jerry Seinfeld feels like less of a jerk when he wears pink.
I have a shrine to the color pink.
