Only in America

  Let us get away from all of the political crap that is going on, for just a bit. Here are a few not quite news-worthy articles for a change of pace.

The Meadowbrook Middle School student urinated in a lunch box while hiding behind a classroom bookcase, Orange County school officials said Tuesday.
According to statements by other students in the class, school officials think that when the boy asked to go the restroom on Thursday, teacher Jameeka Chambers told him to hold it or use her lunch box.    Newsday

  This could be my kind of church

Thats weird

A church leader in Florida has urged parishioners to have sex every day for a month to help cut America's high divorce rates.
Pastor Paul Wirth, who is taking up the sex marathon challenge with his wife Susie, said that couples right across the nation were struggling in their relationships.
For married people he said it seemed like "the sex is great up front but then for some reason life happens."
But for singles "it's like you're always thinking about it and you're like, man I'd like to have it as much as possible."
Sometimes that prevented single people from having a great and healthy relationship later on when they got married.
But Mr Wirth's challenge for his single parishioners is a little different than that for married couples. He wants them to abstain from sex for 30 days     

  Have a good day everyone! Try not to let Bush upset you today.

Georgia State Rep. Ron Sailor Jr Pleads Guilty To Money Laundering

Newsday

ATLANTA - A Georgia lawmaker pleaded guilty Tuesday to money laundering charges stemming from an undercover sting, and federal officials said the case had opened up a broader public corruption investigation in the state.
As part of a plea deal, state Rep. Ron Sailor Jr., a church pastor, also agreed to resign within 24 hours from the Georgia Legislature.
Sentencing was scheduled for May 22. The 33-year-old Democrat from Decatur could face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

  Another one bites the dust!  forget about the fine and just give him the 20 years. Gives him plenty of time to think about his stupidity.
