Debra Oberlin, a former president of a defunct chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, was arrested recently by the Gainesville, Fla. police - for drunk driving, according to the Gainesville Sun.
She says she told her son to cooperate and tell the truth, but was horrified when they told her they were arresting him and then handcuffed him and hauled him away in a patrol car. His mother says she begged police to let her drive her son to the police department and to let her stay with him through the booking process but they refused.
They put him in a cell, took his mug shot and fingerprinted him. He says he thought he was going to jail and would never be able to go home again.
Tim is on probation and if he completes that successfully, the criminal charges will be dropped. But his parents say it has cost them thousands of dollars so far.Ummmm did Mamma and Daddy think that "Everything you say CAN and WILL be used AGAINST you" was just for laughs? Did they really think that rational, common sense would take hold , that the police would be reasonable, realize it was just a misunderstanding, and this would just blow over as it should have? Surely you jest?
And if they had known that their son’s cooperation would be used as evidence against him, they would have hired a lawyer at the beginning and exercised his right to remain silent.
My boss flies quite a bit and he has an amazing ability to remember faces. If he sees a TSA agent come in we turn our backs and completely ignore them, and tell them to leave.
Their kind aren’t welcomed in our establishment.
A large majority of our customers — over 90 percent — agree with our stance and stand by our decision.
We even have the police on our side and they have helped us escort TSA agents out of our cafe. Until TSA agents start treating us with the respect and dignity that we deserve, then things will change for them in the private sector.

How many assistants to the cooks do we have? How much must the head cook be making? Worried yet? Tired of it yet?

A Queens mom says Toys R Us store sold her a kid-friendly "Go, Diego, Go!" video that turned out to be an X-rated porno.Candice Connor is appealed after sitting down with her children to see a cartoon, and ended up getting a full hardcore pornography movie.Right.......
Instead of getting "Nickelodeon All-Star Sports Day" featuring Diego, she got a graphic video titled "Bubble Butt Bonanza No. 17."
It's not about the money."
Connor showed The News her receipt for the $12.99 DVD and the plastic wrapping it was sealed in when she bought it.
As of last night, she had not contacted the Toys "R" Us store, saying she was waiting to hire a lawyer, he said she called Nickelodeon, but got an unsatisfactory response.
A man with an IQ of 48 has been ordered to stop having sex by a High Court judge.So we have a guy who is well below average, who is happy living with someone else, who has a too too vigorous a sex drive and (apparently) loving it. But some bureaucratic busy body decided that this just wasn't right and decided all that gay sex has gotta be stopped because the man n question is not smart enough to know what he is doing...Not even smart enough to understand any instruction in sex education. I wonder who is going to explain his partner disappearing and the ban on having any relations in the future?
Known only as Alan, the 41-year-old was in a relationship with a man he lived with and said he wanted it to continue.
However, his local council said his 'vigorous sex drive' was inappropriate so started legal proceedings to restrict the relationship.
Despite his fears for interfering in a person's sex life, he agreed that he did not have the mental capacity to know about the health risks and should be banned from having sex.Despite the judge's worry about interfering in a basic right and body function he was persuaded that he should. Why? I see nothing in the article on how Alan was abused, how Alan was misused, on how Alan was taken advantage of by his partner. Nothing at all on how this sex drive has negatively impacted his life. But it must be stopped.
His council will now monitor him closely to make sure he doesn't breach the order.
Justice Mostyn said: 'Alan does not have the capacity to consent to and engage in sexual relations.
'In such circumstances it is agreed that the present regime for Alan's supervision and for the prevention of future sexual activity is in his best interests.
One of Gov. Rick Perry's designated "emergency" pieces of legislation cleared an early hurdle on Wednesday when the Senate State Affairs Committee voted in favor of a bill that would require a physician to perform a sonogram on a pregnant woman two hours before performing an abortion.
In its original form, doctors would be required to perform a sonogram, explain the procedure as it is performed and require a woman to see the image and hear the heartbeat of the fetus. That version contained language that allowed a woman to "avert her eyes" if she chose. A committee substitute introduced Wednesday would allow a woman to refuse to see the sonogram or hear the heartbeat.
The United Nations’ food agency issued an alert on Tuesday warning that a severe drought was threatening the wheat crop in China, the world’s largest wheat producer, and resulting in shortages of drinking water for people and livestock.
China has been essentially self-sufficient in grain for decades, for national security reasons. Any move by China to import large quantities of food in response to the drought could drive international prices even higher than the record levels recently reached.
“China’s grain situation is critical to the rest of the world — if they are forced to go out on the market to procure adequate supplies for their population, it could send huge shock waves through the world’s grain markets,” said Robert S. Zeigler, the director general of the International Rice Research Institute in Los Baños, Philippines.

After wrapping her arms around the retail giant Wal-Mart and trying to cajole foodmakers into producing nutrition labels that are easier to understand, Michelle Obama has her sights set on a new target: the nation's restaurants. A team of advisers to the First Lady has been holding private talks over the past year with the National Restaurant Association, a trade group, in a bid to get restaurants to adopt her goals of smaller portions and children's meals that include offerings healthier than French fries and soda, according to White House and industry officials.
Tsk Tsk that is very disappointing, nary a salad or low-fat entrée to be found on that menu is there? But not to worry my Queen de US of A, I am sure your consort will continue to make inroads with the economy to the point where only you and your fellow class crones will be able to afford to go out to any dinning establishment. See problem solved...Non? Bon Appetite.
For his Super Bowl party Sunday evening, Obama is offering Yuengling Lager and Light, brewed in Pennsylvania and Hinterland Pale Ale and Amber Ale, all the way from Wisconsin. Independents can pour down some White House Honey Ale if they like.
The rest of the menu for the 100 or so guests at the White House bash is tailgate-friendly even if served inside the Executive Mansion: bratwurst, kielbasa, cheeseburgers, deep-dish pizza and Buffalo wings with sides of German potato salad, twice-baked potatoes and assorted chips and dips.
Katie Couric was a little quick with her Twitter finger Saturday.
The CBS News anchor mistakenly informed her 140,000 followers that embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak had stepped down after 30 years.
Not true.
"As many of you have already heard Mubarak has resigned," Couric posted before backing off the report.
