Already a candidate for the Least Helpful Police Sketch of 2016.

Poor Lenin Rios-Liberato, a conscientious tattoo artist. If the customer wants a tat right there close to her girl part, the professional artist must hold the skin taut to ink it, and it’s unfair to call that sexual abuse.

If you’re sure that LGBT is shorthand for perversion, and you back that up by using your purchasing power, you better find everything you need at Auto Zone or Bed Bath & Beyond because all other major retailers are pervos, and it’s driving the evangelicals nuts.

Apparently, America has the best trained, best disciplined police officers in the world--and proof of that is that, of 1,215 fatal shootings by officers last yr, 1,208 were done totally according to law (in that no criminal charges have been filed). Awesome. (Oh, wait . . ..)

“Commitment”: Really, how do we explain it? (1) John Joe Gray has been holed up 24/7 on his property north of Dallas for, umm, 15 years, because he was sure God gave him a right to carry his gun without paperwork. (2) James Tracy, a tenured Florida Atlantic University professor, got canned (on a technicality) but never gave up being a Sandy Hook (Conn.) “truther” (even though, with modest effort, the story seems pretty easy to research).

Time-Waste Tips: (1) Erotic fan fiction about the Oregon militiamen’s standoff (Brokeback Mountain come to the forest). (2) A photo array (appearing authentic, though undated) of an actual Shawshank escape. Ewwww!

All you need to know, in one headline: Fort Worth Firefighters Respond to Elevator Fire, Find Man Juggling Flaming Batons

Update: Marie Holmes (the Powerball $88m winner of 2014, from News of the Weird M442, September 27, 2015), who had already tied up $9m of her winnings in twice bailing out her drug-trafficking boyfriend, Lamar Hot Sauce Holmes, is down another $12m, 'cause Hot Sauce is back in jail..

None of the links are clickable for me, anybody else?

Same here. I would highlight one of the links, then right click on the highlighted link and select open link in a new tab. I was able to access all of the stories.

Patty -- there's nothing wrong with your browser (or the site). That's the way Chuck posted it, and I've got the feature turned off that would automatically turn URLs into clickable links, because it messes up things in other parts of the site. So, for now, you've gotta cut-and-paste the links.

Ok, thanks Alex. Sorry, I didn't know or possibly forgot. Old timers you know.
