-Lurid Crime Tales-
Alabammy Teen Arrested for Raping His Maw
Uhuh. Maw's 45 and Junior's 19. Anybody want to bet the siblings are half brothers, maybe even only 40 percent brothers?
Albertville, Ala. -- Police say a Marshall County teen raped his mother to get revenge on his brother.
"Damn yew, Clem! I'm gonna... I'm gonna..."
"What're yew gonna do, Junior?"
"I'm gonna bone Maw!"
Police say 19-year-old Gary Helms, Jr., raped his 45-year-old mother this past weekend at Willow Terrace Trailer Park on Doyle Drive in Albertville. It's a twisted crime that police say Helms admits.
"Yeah. I dunnit. But she wuz askin' fer it!"
"From what we understand the rape stemmed from an argument between him and his brother. And apparently they were arguing over a blow up doll girlfriend.
"Goddamn yew, Clem! Lemme have a turn!"
And the rape was some sort of retaliation towards his brother," said Sgt. Jamie Smith of the Albertville Police Department.
"Aw, hell! Yew let all the air out of her!"
It was unusual retaliation on an unsuspecting victim. Authorities say Helms' mother was apparently passed out drunk on the couch when the rape started.
"Well! Whut have we here? [Prod! Prod!]"
"[Drool!]"
"During the attack she did come to and recognize her attacker. (Reporter: As her son?) As her son," said Smith.
"Whut? Whut? Whozzat?"
"It's jest me, Maw!"
That's when, according to the police report, the mother "tried to get away, but he held her down until he was finished."
"Git offen o' me, yew varmint!"
"It's totally sick is what it is," said Smith. Helms was arrested and charged with the 1st degree rape of his own mother.
"It ain't rape iff'n it's a fambly member!"
Smith says it's hard to wrap your mind around.
"Though it I suppose it ain't hard to comprehend if you don't have one."
"Shocked, shocked would be more a better way to describe it. That somebody would dip to the lows to do something of this nature. It's just pretty much a shock to the conscience of the general public," said Smith. Helms is being held in the Marshall County Jail on $100,000 bond.
Just put him down. Think of it as chlorinating the gene pool.

Today's Idiot
Austrian man separates from wife and ring finger

VIENNA (Reuters) - A Viennese man cut off his ring finger and presented the digit, still holding his wedding band, to his ex-wife after an acrimonious divorce, Austrian news agency APA reported Tuesday.

Charged with dangerous harassment and assault for the act, he told a preliminary hearing he did not regret having cut off the finger and had chosen deliberately not to reattach it.
"It was an act of breaking free," the man was quoted as saying. He did not miss his finger, could work well without it and did not plan on getting married again anyway, he said.

Fire crews controlling California blaze
Cooler temperatures and weaker winds have helped firefighters gain greater control of a California wildfire that killed four of their comrades. Police are hunting for an arsonist who faces murder charges if caught. The fire was deliberately started early on Thursday morning and has charred 16,370 hectares, burning 34 homes to the ground. It was 70 per cent contained by Sunday morning.

Down Under
John Howard denies chaplaincy 'religious crusade'
PRIME Minister John Howard denies being on a religious crusade with his controversial proposal to place government-approved chaplains in Australian schools.

All schools will be eligible to receive $20,000 to employ a chaplain, to fill what Mr Howard says is a void of spiritual and pastoral guidance available in Australian schools. Mr Howard says the $90 million scheme, which he announced on Sunday, will be open to chaplains of many faiths and is not designed to discriminate in favour of one religious group.

Critics argue many schools already offer counselling services to students similar to the role Mr Howard envisages for the chaplains. Former New South Wales premier Bob Carr has described the proposal as "retrograde", and warned it could divide school communities and lead to a string of anti-discrimination actions.

Mr Carr's views contrast with those of federal Labor's education spokeswoman Jenny Macklin, who has pledged her party's support for the program.

Aussie concept car hot rod of the year
AN Australian concept car produced as a tribute to the iconic FJ Holden has been named hot rod of the year by a leading United States motoring magazine.

The EFIJY was produced by Holden's design team for the 2005 Australian International Motor Show in Sydney. The radical pillarless coupe featured a supercharged 6.0 litre V8 engine resting on a Chevrolet Corvette underbody.

The US Hot Rod magazine described the car as probably the most beautiful concept car ever to come from an automotive manufacturer. Editor Rob Kinnan said concept cars produced by car companies normally carried implied messages that they might, one day, become production models. "It was obvious here, however, that this was a pure hot rod built by true gearheads who just happened to work for a new car company," he said.

Holden's chief designer, Richard Ferlazzo, who led the EFIJY project, said: "The car has created quite a bit of interest in the states, which is great recognition for our team.

"It's not immediately obvious, but this sort of interest also helps to promote the capabilities of the GM Holden organisation in a wider field."

#1  Nice car. But actual GM Holdens were and are variants of defunct Oldsmobile line. Nothing against Olds, but other than the Cutlass they never put out anything to cruise with.

#2  Snease,
A gentleman of my acquaintance works for Holden, and from some of the things he's said, I'm going to respectfully disagree with you, tho not for the reasons you might suspect. Holden has come up with some pretty amazing cars - but according to my contact GM has been adamant in not allowing them to get to production in their original form for fear that they'll upset projects underway here in the states. There's one right now - IIRC the Commodore or Commander - if you put a Chevy badge on it and called it the Impala, you couldn't get enough of them to the states if you chartered every auto carrier available. But the GM plan says they have to use the platform that's been designed by committee here in the States... and that's the end of the discussion as far as they're concerned. The Pontiac G6 was also to a great extent a Holden product that was 'dumbed down' for the US market.

#3  The Pontiac G6 was also to a great extent a Holden product that was 'dumbed down' for the US market.

IIRC, the V8 Interceptor never made it to the USA because it could only be driven by crazed ex-paramilitary policemen bent on revenge, and the US market was just not mature enough.

#12  This is art at every level. If it goes to market down under, the body's will be available here in kit form. Two quick points:

1. Take a car and put it on a frame, not unibody, and the body variants are unlimited. This is on a vette frame. GM should take note that the unibody should go away.

2. GM is headed the way Dodge went a few years ago. They will either allow the youth to take the helm in markiting decisions or they will fail.

#20  USN,
No revival for the Road Runner - Plymouth has gone to that great auto graveyard in the sky. But we ARE getting the Challenger back in 08, and by all accounts it will be even more of a screamer than the original was - and friends at my local DC/D dealer are telling me that MSRP, with the big Hemi and all the trimmings, will be under 30K (although some people have already put down as much as 60K to insure they get the first ones). meanwhile, GM's Camaro revival will have a six cylinder engine at best and will START at about 35-40K.
And GM wonders why they're in trouble...

Ford and Corker Square Off for the Final Time
The two frontrunners in the U.S. Senate Race from Tennessee squared off for the final time on Saturday night. One of the key issues brought up was the negative campaign ads. "This week got off to a negative start," said Harold Ford Junior.

More like a turn into the gutter. One Corker ad says, "He campaigns in a church, but took cash from California's top X-rated porn moguls." Meanwhile ads against Corker, criticize him for the alleged failures of the 911 service in Chattanooga while he was mayor.

Tonight, though, both men vow to lay out their visions. That stuck until about twenty minutes into the debate. "You're the only candidate running for the United States Senate, anywhere in the country, who's ever hired an illegal immigrant before," said Ford.

"I have never ever in my life employed an illegal immigrant. My opponent takes liberty with words," said Corker.

India-Pakistan
Farmer reaps IT harvest
Hyderabad, Oct. 29: As he sits on a wooden cot under a tamarind tree in front his two-room house, surrounded by his flock of buffaloes and cows, Koti Reddy’s placid life disguises the dilemma posed by a windfall.

The 62-year-old, who has Microsoft, Polaris, Kanbay, Infosys, Wipro and the Indian School of Business (ISB) as his neighbours, has been offered Rs 114 crore for his 5.3 acres in the heart of Cyberabad, the new-economy hub on the city’s north- western fringe.

“I have never seen money beyond one lakh in my life and this windfall is just unbelievable. I plan to donate one or two crores to the Balaji temple,” says the farmer from Nanakramguda, in the middle of Cyberabad.
