NEWS FROM ALL OVER

Here in Tulsa, a man mugged three old ladies at knife point in one night.
.
After each mugging, he would remove a piece of his clothing to throw off identification.
.
By the time police caught him, he was down to his underwear.
.
***
.
The "Tulsa World" headline reads "Man Reportedly Attacks Roommate With Harmonica."
.
What is not clear from the headline is whether the attacker or the attackee had the harmonica.
.
I can understand attacking a man playing the harmonica if he's the bad kind of player who keeps playing the same two notes and won't stop.
.
But it turns out the attacker used a harmonica to to beat his roommate bloody. He is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. A dangerous harmonica. Police took the weapon as evidence.

.
A couple of middle-aged brothers in Delaware were arrested for running an identity fraud out of the mobile home where they lived with their mother.
.
The two stole 44 Social Security numbers, used them to get 100 credit cards, and used the cards to steal $500,000.
.
But you've got to ask: Why are two middle aged guys with a half million dollar paycheck living in a mobile home with their mother?
.

.
Remember that Kentucky pastor who invited his congregation to bring their guns to church? Well, he's quit his job at the New Bethel Church in Louisville. Ken Pagano says he was burned out on the ministry. Now he works at a shooting range.

Do what you love, and love what you do.

Perhaps the attacker WAS a two-note, no-stop harmonica player, and the victim had just given him some negative feedback on his playing.
