MONTESANO, Wash. – A jury has acquitted a Washington man accused of breaking into a home and throwing a dead mink at another man during a confrontation that made weasel headlines across the country. 33-year-old Jobie Watkins of Hoquiam was found not guilty of burglary.

 Police said Watkins was carrying the dead animal when he went to the other man's apartment looking for his ex-girlfriend on June 6. The other man involved in the altercation confronted Watkins and asked him why he had a dead weasel. Watkins reportedly insisted that it was a marten leading to a fight which occurred after Watkins threw the dead mink at the other man.

The jury in the trial claimed that the witnesses provided inconsistent accounts and the "prosecution failed to prove a link to the mink."

Newspaper “The Daily World of Aberdeen” reports that Watkins never explained why he had the carcass.

ROCHESTER, N.H. – A New Hampshire woman who brought her mother's ashes to bingo games for good luck is hoping for their return after the urn containing them was stolen.

Police say the urn was stolen from Diane Bozzi's van Tuesday morning in Rochester by someone targeting unlocked cars.

Diane Bozzi says the urn was in a bag that she was planning to take to her bingo game later in the day.

She and her mother loved playing bingo together. Before her mother died in 2002, Bozzi promised her she would take some of her ashes with her to play. Her mother agreed, saying she would bring Bozzi luck.




BROOKVILLE, Pa. – Authorities in northwestern Pennsylvania say a man published an obituary for his living mother in a ploy to get paid bereavement time off from work.

Relatives called The Jeffersonian Democrat newspaper in Brookville after the obit appeared to report the woman was actually alive and well. The woman herself then visited the paper.

Brookville police charged 45-year-old Scott Bennett on Tuesday with disorderly conduct.

Democrat editor Randy Bartley says he accepted the obituary in good faith after being unable to confirm the funeral arrangements at press time. He told The Derrick newspaper on Friday that the woman was very understanding.

Police Chief Ken Dworek says Bennett wrote up the memorial notice because he didn't want to get fired for taking time off.

VSR is moving! The Fake Radio Network will be joining forces with the LCS Hockey Show, The Ed Show and The Super Great Internet Show. Personally, I think we should call the new network The Sporting Chicken Radio Network, but perhaps that will just be my pet name for it. LCS originally stood for La Coq Sportiff, a.k.a. The Sporting Chicken.



Something to Think About!

1. The President needs a cool uniform. The suit and tie isn’t cutting it, basically, the President of the United States dresses exactly the same as a television evangelist. We need something with perhaps a beret or a sash, or something fancy looking that is unique and immediately screams “President”. (Something he’d look good eating a turkey leg in.)
2. Nothing in the history of the world has ever been improved by putting the word “Vegan” in front of it. Conversely, nothing in the history of the world has ever been made worse by bacon.
3. What did Dinosaur taste like?
4. I saw a Hawaii license plate today, and it tripped me out.
5. It is impossible for a tiger to lose its stripes. If you shave it down, it has the stripes on its skin.
6. Calling your dog a son of a bitch is not really an insult, meanwhile…calling your son that is just a bad idea all around.
7. I don’t understand what Mom jeans are. 


Checking in with Flula – Clip 39 – Flula – Balls to the wall


Sports topics:

-Albert Pujols – Signs 10 year, 254 million dollar contract. (A player so big even I know who he is.)
-David Stern voids Chris Paul trade to the Lakers
Dan Gilbert Letter: (In comic sans font)

Commissioner,
It would be a travesty to allow the Lakers to acquire Chris Paul in the apparent trade being discussed.

This trade should go to a vote of the 29 owners of the Hornets.

Over the next three seasons this deal would save the Lakers approximately $20 million in salaries and approximately $21 million in luxury taxes. That $21 million goes to non-taxpaying teams and to fund revenue sharing.

I cannot remember ever seeing a trade where a team got by far the best player in the trade and saved over $40 million in the process. And it doesn't appear that they would give up any draft picks, which might allow to later make a trade for Dwight Howard. (They would also get a large trade exception that would help them improve their team and/or eventually trade for Howard.) When the Lakers got Pau Gasol (at the time considered an extremely lopsided trade) they took on tens of millions in additional salary and luxury tax and they gave up a number of prospects (one in Marc Gasol who may become a max-salary player).

I just don't see how we can allow this trade to happen.
I know the vast majority of owners feel the same way that I do.

When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise...
Dan G.
