Congresswoman pops a cop

I wonder if she’ll scream racism?

According to sources on Capitol Hill, U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) punched a Capitol police officer on Wednesday afternoon after he mistakenly pursued her for failing to pass through a metal detector.

Update: Yes, she does:

The statement’s writer says that she has been harassed by white police officers she says do not recognize her due to her recently changed hairstyle.

“Do I have to contact the police every time I change my hairstyle? How do we account for the fact that when I wore my braids every day for 11 years, I still faced this problem, primarily from certain white police officers,” the statement says.

How do we account for the fact that you punched a uniformed peace officer? Oh wait, he’s white, it’s all good.

How do you say moron in Australian?

Point one, if you are drunk don’t ask the police for directions.

Point two, if you can’t see the world’s biggest rock 100 yards away then please don’t reproduce.

I am surprised he could even figure out how to work the car window.

CANBERRA (Reuters) – A drunk driver just 100 yards from Australia’s iconic giant monolith once known as Ayers Rock stopped police to ask the way to the 1,100-foot-high rock.

In more dominatrix news…

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – A South African dominatrix has given up her battle to live in a vicarage, telling the church’s congregation they can “shove” the disputed residence, a local newspaper reported Wednesday.

The Pretoria News said Marianne Ellis had been renting the manse, or vicarage, at the Doornkloof Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk near Pretoria for some time when church elders discovered her sideline as a local dominatrix and asked her to move.

Ellis and her husband at first sought to fight the church in court, but Tuesday decided to back down, the newspaper said.

“It is a long story, but basically I am tired of fighting, really tired. They can take their manse back, in fact they can shove it,” she told the newspaper.

Ellis, who said she was promised a long lease and option to buy the vicarage, had earlier showed reporters her “torture chamber” at the house but said she never had sex with her clients and was not running a brothel.

Following the dispute with the church, Ellis told the Pretoria News she was temporarily calling a halt to her career.

“But I will crack the whip again after we have moved. Then I will be back with a vengeance,” the newspaper quoted her as saying.

Moe, Larry and Curly finally curbed

THE HAGUE (AFP) – Police in The Hague caught three drunk drivers all behind the wheel of the same car within hours of each other, police said in a statement.

The series started when a 40-year-old man was stopped in a routine traffic control Wednesday morning. He failed a breathalyser test and while police fined him, one of his passengers got behind the wheel and drove off.

The second driver was also stopped by police and failed the breathalyser test. He was given a fine and released.

Just two hours later police saw the same vehicle going past, this time with a third driver. After traffic officers stopped the car the third driver tried to get away on foot but was caught.

He, too, failed the breathalyser test. Because this third man’s drivers license had already been taken from him for earlier infractions, the car was finally seized, putting an end to the series of drunk drivers.
