YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID.

Wimauma, Florida (UPI)
   Austin Hatfield has been hospitalized after trying to kiss a cotton mouth on the lips. Apparently, the 4 foot reptile wasn't impressed with Austin's friendly advances and struck the fellow on the mouth. Austin was charged with possession of a dangerous reptile without a permit and being stupid. Austin is expected to recover from the snake bite. However, his stupidity may be chronic. (I'm thinking alcohol was involved, but that's just me.)
Protect your ass-ets,

MUST HAVE BEEN SOME ISSUES IN THE PAST.

St. Paul, Minn. (UPI)
   The Minnesota Senate voted to keep the ban on eye contact between Senators during debate in place. Senators may only look at the Senate President during debate thus keeping the debates from becoming personal.  (I think what has happened in the past before the rule is obvious. They are also not allowed to have beverages on the Senate floor.)
Protect your debate,
Rodger :-P 

JUST KEEP HIM AWAY FROM THE BUILDINGS.

   Tokyo's, Shinjuku Ward has appointed Godzilla as Resident and Tourism Ambassador. The giant green reptile will tour other areas encouraging folks to visit the Shinjuku Ward. (I think they just want old Godzilla out of the neighborhood.)
Protect your hood,
