Lake of Karaoke etiquette can kill you in Malaysia.

Because I can't think of any thing more pithy than the leading paragraph:

A man who rammed his truck into a woman's vehicle on a highway early Friday told authorities he crashed into her while going more than 100 mph because God told him "she needed to be taken off the road."

It's WKRP in Cincinnati.

Assault booking that's a whopper (with cheese).

Ho Ho Ho, candy cane wielding would be victim thwarts knife attack.

Faith based investment firm fingers holiday's most sinful games. Holy @&$#!

My tax dollars at work.
