Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03) 

Uniontown, PENNSYLVANIA - A woman is behind bars after police allege she was stopping motorists in Uniontown and offering to strip for money.
Jackie L. Hatter, 35, was charged before Magisterial District Judge Randy S. Abraham with possession of marijuana and disorderly conduct following the incident at 8:40 a.m. Sunday.
Hatter was flagging down motorists in Uniontown, stopping drivers and offering to take off her clothing for cash.
When police arrived near the location, Hatter jumped in front of the patrol car and began screaming and swearing incoherently. She refused to calm down and was taken into custody, he said.
Once inside a holding cell at the police station, Hatter was uncooperative with police, screaming and swearing for more than an hour. Numerous times during the incident Hatter asked officers to shoot her and also began hitting the walls inside the cell, causing officers concern for her safety.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- Police in Miami Beach said a homeless man broke into a car, stole a credit card and then tried to use it to buy a beer -- from the bartender the card belonged to.
The case was cracked when 53-year-old David Weber handed the card to the bartender who took his order Monday night. The Miami Herald reported the bartender noticed he had just been handed his own credit card. The bartender called Miami Beach police. Weber was charged with credit card fraud and theft.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Talk about the old ball and chain.
A judge sentenced an Oklahoma man to four years in federal prison on a firearm charge — then minutes later performed a marriage ceremony to wed the new inmate and his longtime girlfriend.
Thursday was a busy day for Larry Austin and Dustie Trojack. First they obtained their marriage license, then Austin pleaded guilty to the firearm charge and was sentenced by Oklahoma County Judge Jerry Bass. Shortly afterward, Bass married the happy couple who kissed before federal authorities whisked Austin away.

Shenango Township, PENNSYLVANIA - After assaulting a Pennsylvania teenager Monday morning, a man paused to mock the victim by “Tebowing,” according to cops.

Police report that a 17-year-old boy was on a riding lawn mower cutting grass outside his home when he “turned around on the road, apparently into the path of an oncoming vehicle.”

The car’s driver--who investigators describe as “a taller male, bald, wearing glasses”--exited his vehicle and approached the boy. The suspect then “knocked the juvenile off the lawn mower and assaulted him in the front yard of the residence,” according to police.

As the suspect walked back to his car, and just before getting into his vehicle, he stopped to Tebow. He then got into his 1980’s Maroon Chrysler New Yorker and fled the crime scene.

Dameshek – Labor Day is the worst holiday – NO WAY! – No gift giving required, it means the start of NFL football is less than a week away, guaranteed 3 day weekend every time, the delicious irony of celebrating work by not working. Also, CLEARLY the worst holiday is Valentine’s Day. It’s not even close.


How 9-11 Changed the world in weird ways:

-Dropped the suicide rate in England by 40% for a month
-Caused a permanent drop in Ecstacy use in America
-Caused thousands of more people to die in car accidents (Estimated the automotive deaths increased by nearly 1600 people in 2001 due to 9-11)
-A huge increase in insects and fungal infections in crops in America
-Made whales happier (for 2 days)




NFL Topics from Week 1:
Brandon Weeden vs. the flag
Falcons – on the rise?
What the Jets?
Moment of Silence for Art Modell – NFL deemed not necessary in Cleveland.
Manning is a stud out of the gate.
Roethlisberger the jellyfish
Packers?
Colts are dreadful
RGIII looks glorious
Saints – perhaps coaching does matter
Worst NFL team? Dolphins, Browns, Cardinals


Something to Think About:
1. The exact moment you become a grown up is when you no longer are actively in danger of falling into hot lava.
2. I am physically incapable of walking past 25 cent boxes of crayons without buying one.
3. “Bruce” considered a fruity name even though it is the name of both The Hulk AND Batman. (Clip 30)
4. My greatest fear: Someone getting famous who has my exact name.
5. Chopsticks suck
6. Best idea for a new blog: Tattoops – Bad Tattoo blog. --Chad Johnson got his wife’s face tattooed on his leg. They were married a month before it all fell apart.
7. True or False – Canada is creating a glow in the dark quarter with a picture of a dinosaur on it? True!
