Palm Springs, CA -- CSI’s Gary Dourdan, 41, found by police sleeping in his car at 5:30 am, has been charged with possession of heroin, cocaine, Ecstasy and prescription hallucinogens. When he realized he was caught, out of habit he strung yellow tape around his car and outlined himself with chalk.
New York, NY -- Country thrush Mindy McCready told reporters that she “can’t refute” allegations that she began an affair with Roger Clemens when she was 15. In all fairness to Mindy though, 15 is 25 in Country & Western years.
Baghdad, IRAQ -- Coalition combat commanders report that US troops who needed a waiver for past criminal convictions to enlist are promoted faster than those without police records. Makes sense. When engaged in an illegal enterprise, it’s always best to go with experience.
Washington, DC -- Hordes of experienced agents have fled the FBI due to overwork, unreasonable promotion policies, poor management and lucrative private sector job offers, especially from gambling casinos. Even agents who decide to stick it out realize that no one will ever fill the lace panties of J. Edgar Hoover.

Washington, DC -- The Army ordered all barracks to be inspected after reports of mold, raw sewage, leaking pipes, exposed electrical wiring, cracked plaster, and vermin present in barracks at Ft. Bragg reached the Pentagon. US troops forced to live like Iraqis? Unacceptable!

Manhattan, NY -- The 18 room mansion that was once the home of Alexander Hamilton will be completely renovated and opened to the public as a museum. In a related story, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is soliciting funds to renovate George Hamilton.

Keene, NH -- Keene State College students Cory Loonan, 18, and Alex Perry, 19, were arrested for reckless endangerment after attempting to go over the Ashuelot River Falls in a children’s wading pool. On a brighter note, the lads did manage to capture the school’s annual Evil Knieval Science Prize.
Bentonville, ARK -- Broderick Laswell claims in a federal lawsuit that as a county jail inmate, he dropped from 413 pounds to 308 pounds due to the inadequate diet he was given. He admits that he did okay on gruel, but decided to take legal action when he was downgraded to slop.

Las Vegas, NV -- This gambling capital leads the nation in plummeting home prices, dipping a startling 28% in the past 12 months. Some developers are so desperate to unload new tract homes, they’re throwing in complimentary country club memberships, golf carts and a free hooker for a year.
Salem, OR -- Thanks to a typographical error in the voters pamphlet, callers seeking help get a message that says “Welcome to an exciting way to go one-on-one with hot girls!” A first for a voters pamphlet if you don’t count Eliot Spitzer’s during his run for New York governor.
London, GB -- Prince William landed his Royal Navy helicopter on the lawn of his girlfriend Kate Middleton’s parents, amidst cries of “Waste of taxpayers money!” Actually, Bill was on a valid military mission, training for an upcoming assault on Amy Winehouse.
New Orleans, LA -- McCain told voters here that he’ll be much quicker to respond to disasters than Bush and his henchmen were. He has an advantage. At his age, he knows all the medical first responders personally.

The National Rifle Association immediately issued a statement pointing out that guns don’t kill people, fathers who can’t tell the difference between a small boy and a turkey kill people.
