WACKO OF THE WEEK

OH DEAR! Where to start?

There have been so many crazies at work around the world this week, it's almost too much to handle!

Of course, you all think that we will be declaring the Astro-naughty, Lisa M. Nowak (the astronaut caught in a love triangle and now accused of trying to kill another woman) to be Wacko-of-the-Week. It seems no one could be more deserving nor worked harder to achieve the award.


In fact, if you deconstruct her name you find "L.M.N. IS A WAKO" right in it!

TA-DA! A wacko, Ipso Facto! Case closed? Right?
Well, not quite yet.

=============
She is not the only Wacko running loose this week.

What about the guy who stripped and masturbated in a ski Gondola in Vermont? When arrested he was found to be carrying illegal drugs. His comment, "Oh, damn, more trouble!" He was going uphuill at the time, but now his life seems to be going downhill.

STORY

==============

Then there is the Canadian man who has been hassling the authorities for 3 years to remove a stump in Lake St. Clair because it's a danger to lake users. You guessed it, he ran into it with his snowmobile and killed himself. Now, that's hard to believe on several levels.

STORY

==============

Or the Optician in Toronto who attacked a TV reporter looking into claims that he was hot-headed and didn't honor services to clients who disagreed with him.

==============
AND THERE ARE OTHER CHOICES: We haven't even mentioned that Iranian fool, Ahminadinajahdwhatsis, who threatened George Bush with 'nuc-cu-lar' war if we even looked crooked at him. Threaten Bush with nukes? You shouldn't tug on Superman's cape or mess around with LeRoy Brown.

It was a good week for nuts like us Arboreans.
=============
FINALLY: Here's our choice:

STATE SENATOR CARL KRUGER

Walk, jog or bicycle across a New York street with an iPod plugged in your ears and you could get slapped with a $100 ticket under a new law proposed by a legislator from Brooklyn. State Sen. Carl Kruger's bill would also outlaw the use of cell phones, Blackberries, video games or other electronic devices when crossing the street.

IPOD STORY

Sen. Carl is a fighter against modernity. A Luddite! A stick-in-the-mud! A Don Quixote! Fie on the obstacles to progress like Senator Kruger. Call him Carl-the-"Freddie Kruger" -Wacko of the Week.
