At least he smells good

Joseph Mingolello was just trying to be a better person through hygiene.
Unfortunately, the 58 deodorant sticks he secreted under his clothing were not paid for when he departed the Ocean State Job Lot store.
Police identified him via surveillance tapes and arrested him for the $188 theft.

Connecticut AG lied about service (guess which party)

Connecticut Attorney General Blumenthal has stated several times in the past that he served in Vietnam.
He did not.
He obtained draft deferments for years before landing a cushy spot in the Marine Reserve, where he would have a virtual guarantee of not facing active duty.
The article covers a lot of ground concerning his misleading and lying to his constituents but doesn't mention his party until the 3rd paragraph.
Surprise! He's a Democrat!
No real shock, since he was planning to replace Chris (mortgage debacle) Dodd.

File Under "This Used to be Unbelievable"

A neighborhood feud came to a head in Connecticut when an out of work man posted a Craig's List ad listing his neighbor as a Soccer Mom that wanted to: "please as many as I can before I go to work!" . 


It once would have been surprising that so many men showed up on such short notice during a workday, including one that went to the wrong house and groped a teenager who answered the door.


The woman's brother came over, guarded the door, wrote down license plate numbers, and shooed away those that actually got out of their cars.


The ad poster is out on $75K bail and the police have his computers.
