Making Headlines and Taking Names

Oh yeah.  Indiana is again soaring and I mean soaring in the limelight.  Last week I heard our police department made the laughing stock at the Las Vegas National Gang Convention. (As in, are you freaking kidding me??? Your idiot govenor actually agreed to take thousands of California inmates in order to create jobs???  How desparate are you??? You do realize these gang members will now be your problem when they are released, right?) 

Today "Armed and Famous" debuted on CBS right before the President's address (really, a whole night worth picking up a book and not watching TV at all...save the electricity.)    If you haven't heard, this is a reality show that has only really stellar "A" list stars.  They have been sworn in as Muncie, Indiana's police force.  These individuals have firearms.  You should be scared.  This has all debuted simultaneously as Indianapolis's mayor just released his "safety first" campaign. 

Muncie, Indiana.  Really, quite the hot spot of crime.  What?  A broken headlight?  A traffic violation?  Perhaps a DUI if we're lucky.  Ooh, high drama for primetime.  Remember, this is a state where teeth are optional (and see exhibit A of the second/third/and other arrests on the show.) 

And the stars of the show are:  LaToya Jackson (yup, the freaky plastic surgery Jackson...oh wait, that's Michael.), Erik Estrada (as in Chips), a midget (of course you need to have a midget to make it a show...isn't that what all of the circus's wanted back in the 1920's?  He also has a Napoleon syndrome with a delusional sex drive)  a WWF female wrestler (sex appeal perhaps?  dumb blonde?) and of course you've gotta love Jack Osbourne (who happens to be a dead-on marksman...freaky!) 

Most of the individuals arrested by Erik are just commenting how handsome he is and calls him "Ponch."  Good times, good times.  This is the most action Muncie, Indiana has had since the medical center opened up the OBGYN wing.
