This Could Be Part of What's Wrong with America Part II

Part I

It's time for round two of stupidity that's made the news, and my sarcasm to make it that much more enlightening! America, time to buy some chlorine for the gene pool!

"WILMINGTON, Del. — Police in Delaware say a man broke into a house, got drunk and couldn't make his way back outside _ so he called 911 for help.

New Castle County police say 44-year-old John Finch was trapped in the home in part because he'd broken into it before, back in April. That led the homeowner to change the locks so that a key was required _ even inside.

Police say no one was home when Finch broke in again, through a rear window. He stayed for a few days, drinking three bottles of gin and two bottles of whiskey. When he tried to leave, he was too drunk to climb back out of the window and called 911. He was arrested Wednesday afternoon.

Finch now faces charges in both break-ins. Police say he was admitted to a hospital and has yet to make a court appearance. There's no indication Finch has retained an attorney."


I hope he didn't quit his day job, because apparently burglary just isn't high up on his skill set.

"FAIRFIELD, Conn. — The older man cruising along Interstate 95 in Connecticut could have been just another traveler _ except that he was in an electric wheelchair, in the breakdown lane, while cars and trucks barreled along a few yards away.

The mystery of the unidentified man in the cozy blue coat and sunglasses is leaving some chuckling, including witnesses who videotaped his unorthodox trip Thursday along the breakdown lane and off an exit in Fairfield.

Connecticut State Police say their troopers didn't encounter the intrepid traveler, but surely would have warned him about what vehicles are _ and aren't _ allowed on the highway."


Well, I guess he just couldn't afford the price of gas anymore. And at the rate gas is rising, this could be a trend! At least the people who sell winter weather stuff will make a fortune.

"LOS ANGELES — The Ohio homeless man whose smooth broadcaster voice made him an Internet sensation was questioned by police after he and his daughter got into a heated argument at a hotel during a trip to Hollywood to appear on "Dr. Phil" and "Entertainment Tonight."

"I don't know how loud they were," Officer Catherine Massey said, but the argument around 9 p.m. Monday at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel & Spa led to a disturbance report.

"It was minor. Both parties were angry but there were no signs of visible abuse," Massey said Tuesday. She said Ted Williams and his daughter "were brought in, calmed down, talked to and released" and she did not know the nature of the argument."


Man, if this is cause to be taken in by the police, my family should have been arrested long ago. Last time I checked, heated arguments were pretty normal. And furthermore, who cares about his personal life that much? Really now? I'm not impressed.


Yeah... welcome to America.
