BABE OF THE WEEK
CASEY JONES, YOU'D BETTER WATCH YOUR SPEED
Check out this study in brilliance from the Albany Times Union:
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Birmingham police said a 22-year-old woman has suffered a broken leg after being hit by a train. Officer Lawrence Billups said the woman told police she was lying on the tracks "to clear her mind" when the train approached around 7 a.m. Sunday.
Billups said the CSX train was moving about 10 mph when it hit her. The train's operator told police he tried to stop.
She was on the tracks to clear her mind. What do you want to bet that she cleared out the other end instead? I guess some folks really don't know their head from their ass.

THIS DAY IN CRIME HISTORY: JUNE 30, 1882
On this date in 1882, Charles J. Guiteau was hanged in the District of Columbia for the assassination of President James A. Garfield. Guiteau had shot Garfield on July 2nd of the previous year. Garfield lingered for two months, finally dying on September 19, 1881. The motive for the shooting: Guiteau was angry at the president for failing to offer him an ambassadorship as a reward for a pro-Garfield speech Guiteau wrote which almost no one heard or read. In short, the guy was a nut.
If Guiteau's motive for the assassination isn't proof enough of his nuttiness, his conduct at the trial was sure to seal the deal. He gave testimony in the form of epic poetry. He passed notes with spectators, often asking them for legal advice. He even publicly bad-mouthed his defense team during the trial (Hint: you should really wait until after you've been convicted before you start tossing brickbats at the people who are trying to save you skin). Guiteau was convicted on January 25, 1882 and sentenced to die.
