I thought only the BIG elections were full of strife and discord, until I started poking my nose into the "comp time" abomination over at the Angelina County Sheriff's office.
Here's one for the books that may need some gross analysis before rushing to judgement, so I'll fire off the story line and let you decide if the punishment fits the crime.
Fasten your seat belt, because we're going on high speed pursuit to disseminate a caper that took place in Hurst, Texas last November.
It turns out to make it onto a list of the dumbest criminals, you have to actually be pretty dumb. Granted, we can't all be masterminds, but it probably doesn't take much to know you shouldn't make a YouTube video boasting about the bank you just robbed. Or tweet about punching a guy in the face. Nor should you get into a fist fight over a piece of birthday cake.

It’s a story that has made national news. Earlier this week, accused serial killer Israel Keyes was found dead in his jail cell in Alaska after an apparent suicide.
He’s accused of abducting, assualting, killing, and dismembering the body of an 18-year old barista who was kidnapped from a coffee stand last February.
In March, Keyes was arrested at the parking lot of a Cotton Patch Cafe in Lufkin after trying to use Samantha Koenig’s stolen debit card.
Attention East Texas:
Be on the lookout for nearly $4,000 worth of taxidermied animals that were stolen from a Lufkin building under construction in the 1900 block of Denman Avenue.
When I was growing up, keeping it "in the family" meant having dinner together, going on outings together, going to sis's Girl Scout's ceremony, and her, to my opening day of Little League.
Obviously, 50 year old Ronald Catt, had a much different upbringing when it came to the theory of relativity. And no, I'm not talking about Einstein's mathematical equation regarding gravitational phenomena.
Like father, like...daughter! Doesn't it go, "like father, like son", and "like mother, like daughter"?
Well, something is definitely backwards in the Bon Jovi arena. About one hour ago, it was reported that daddy's little girl was arrested at Hamilton College in New York, for possession of a controlled substance, after police found heroin inside a school dorm.
Something to keep in mind as the holidays approach: People are selling things everywhere! They’re even trying to sell iPads at gas stations. But it doesn’t always turn out to be legit.
A Texas woman was scammed out of $200 after a man approached her at a gas station and asked if she wanted to buy “an iPad worth $800 for $200.” Apple hasn’t even shipped the highest-priced iPads yet, with retail price ranging from $629 to $829, but if you’re at a gas station pumping gas, you probably have other things on your mind besides retail releases and ship dates. Did the scammer get caught?
Anytime crime statistics are published, I'm always eager to see the ratio of solved crimes by category. For example, the number of Robbery cases solved in 2012 compared to the total number of Robberies committed.
Thar's a new show soon to be airing on CMT, and it won't feature any blood and gore, so horror aficionados can steer clear at this time. But, if you like police shows somewhere between "Adam-12" and "Car 54, Where Are You?", this comedy/drama may be your cup of tea.
It wasn’t long ago that actress Daryl Hannah was arrested during a pipeline protest in East Texas, and now Green Party Presidential Candidate, Dr. Jill Stein, has been arrested at a similar event.
