Wha...Wha...What??!!!

• I will never be confused with a Bible scholar or an authority on the urinary customs of the Teutonics, but is this really what's wrong with the world today? You can't piss while standing in Germany and they talk about vertical urination too much in the Bible? Really?
• Forget about the world. Is this a sign of what's wrong in America? Interesting comments. Some are half-informed but all are interesting nonetheless.
• Or perhaps this little news nugget from Arkansas, via thesmokinggun.com:

An Arkansas cop tasered an unruly 10-year-old girl after her mother called police to report that the child was crying, screaming, and refusing to go to bed.... and...."Her mother told me to tase her if I needed to." After Kiara continued to refuse her mother's instructions, the cop concluded that "there was not going to be a peaceful resolution of the issue." Bradshaw warned the girl that she was "going to jail," and, of course... the child continued kicking and crying and resisted his attempt to handcuff her. During the tussle, Kiara "struck me with her legs and feet in the groin, reported Bradshaw, who countered with a brief "stun to her back" with his Taser. The child, not surprisingly, "immediately stopped resisting and was placed into handcuffs.
10-year-old won't go to bed and the first thing you do is call the cops.
Young 'un rearin'- Razorback style, y'all!!!

UPDATE:  Ark. cop suspended after using Taser on girl, 10.
God, I wish I could make this up....

A police officer who used a stun gun on an unruly 10-year-old girl after he said her mother gave him permission has been suspended — not for using the Taser but for not having a video camera attached when he used it.

Mayor Vernon McDaniel said officer Dustin Bradshaw was suspended Wednesday for seven days with pay. McDaniel said the suspension is for not following department procedures because he didn't have the camera on.

McDaniel wants Arkansas State Police or the FBI to look into whether the use of the Taser was proper. The girl, who hasn't been identified, wasn't injured and is now at the Western Arkansas Youth Shelter in Cecil.

              DIDN'T HAVE THE EFFIN' CAMERA ATTACHED????

             REEEEEAAAAALLLLLY???

• And from Iowa...Mail carrier found drunk inside Marion home

Police arrested a mail carrier after she was found drunk inside a residence while on the job in Marion earlier this month, authorities said Tuesday.

Kristine A. Pflughaupt, 46, of Marion, was charged with public intoxication Nov. 3 after she was found sitting on the kitchen floor of a house at 260 Sixth Avenue, eating leftover noodles from Marie O’Kelly’s refrigerator.

O’Kelly, 95, said she was watching TV in another room when she heard a noise. She thought her daughter had arrived, but became suspicious when no one came to greet her.

When she went to check, O’Kelly said she found Pflughaupt sitting on her kitchen floor. She was using her hands to eat leftover noodles, and they were running down Pflughaupt’s shirt. O’Kelly didn’t recognize her as the mail carrier.

Preliminary breath tests showed her blood alcohol content to be .281, police said.
