The police department in Chandler, AZ was given the right to sack an officer who operated a web site featuring sexually explicit photos of his wife – think nude pictures of the missus.

The judge said, “His activities were simply vulgar and indecent.”

Another judge chimed in, what about “an off-duty officer who angered some members of the public by marching in a gay pride parade?”

Nude pictures of the wife?

Marching in a gay parade?

Both can be argued that they diminish public respect for the police.

Well, it depends if you are homophobia or not AND what the missus looks like, doesn’t it?

No…it doesn’t.

Policemen and women should be held to a higher standard.

What do you think?

The ubiquitous Craigslist…it was just a matter of time.

Here in the Bay Area we say that you can find anything on Craigslist.

I sold a Steinway upright piano to a guy in Australia who saw my ad in Craigslist. I am in the Bay Area and the piano was in Houston, TX.

Well, some girls from San Francisco, Miami, Newark and Brooklyn had something else to sell … and they figured, gosh, if Bay Area Bill can sell a piano in Houston to a guy in Australia they can probably sell…um, themselves.

All eight of them were snared in a sting operation.

In July…a sheriff in IL rounded up 60 women who advertised on Craigslist.

In FL, police netted 33 men.

Craigslist is the favorite of prostitutes say police…by far the favorite.

I just took a quick look at Erotic Services offered in San Francisco. After hitting the page some 10-11 times (100 to a page) I hadn’t even dented the offerings that were posted just today.

Police say Craigslist enables prostitution.

Craigslist’s president says its 24-member staff can’t patrol the 20+ million changing posts per month and that they rely on users to flag objectionable ads…which, in turn, get removed.

Yeah…guys looking for a prostitute will surely be inclined to tell police they found something…to be sure.

Sex and stupid…messing up a good thing ….like Craigslist.

Gee, Craig…how about just removing the erotic services link?

Yup…bad guys like to leave a mark, something to let everyone know it was them IF they ever get caught. But, they don’t expect to get caught… unless… the mark they leave happens to be their name.

“Peter Addison was here” was written by an 18-year old drunken burglar.

Of “The Adlington Massiv” gang.

Coppers in Britain are saying, “There are some pretty stupid criminals around, but to leave your own name at the scene of the crime takes the biscuit. The daftness of this lad certainly made our job a lot easier.”

Yeah…don’t you like it when a day goes so smoothly at work sometimes?

The boys pleaded guilty and are serving out their punishment.

School has started….get out the stripper poles.

Parents might be happy that the kids are away, getting an education, making good use of the $25K year it’s costing them to send little Jennie, Barbie or Katie to university.

Might is the key word…

If pop knew that his little girl spent last weekend getting acquainted with the boys at the neighboring frat houses, he’d be plenty antsy. No doubt, that is where she was.

If pop knew there was booze, plenty of it, flowing freely to loosen everyone up, he’d pace the floor. No doubt, his little girl was feeling pretty loose as well.

If pop knew that the frat houses had installed stripper poles so that the guys could enjoy the evening more by watching the girls….Pop would be out the door.

Girls who use the pole say it gives them a sense of empowerment…that they’ve taken charge of their sexuality….

Uh…no!! It means they are drunk and entertaining a bunch of drunken college kids is what it means.

Hurry, Pop!

I guess we’d all better think twice about asking grannie to watch the kids.

A 47-year old grandmother is suspected of giving her grandchild two drinks from a gin bottle in hopes that the little girl would pass out so she, grandma, could go out.

Mom was working a 12-hour shift at the time.

An anonymous tip got the police to the apartment and a breath test showed the girl had an alcohol level of 0.42%, half the legal limit for driving. No consolation there…the 9-year old was already home.

The test, however, was taken 8 hours after the drinks were given to her.

The little girl remembered vomiting, hitting and head, the blacking out.

Yeah…that’s pretty much how it goes when you have too much to drink.

The grandmother is in jail…and should be left there.

Well…at least grandma did get to go out.

A corrupt Chinese official got the worst end of his 11 mistresses after some of their husbands were sentenced to death for graft.

And, he was doing what?

The 63-year old deputy head was also sacked because he had lured several women, mostly “pretty and young” (mostly?) wives of his subordinates to be his mistresses.

He then helped them ‘make big money’ by giving them or their husbands huge government projects.

The 11 mistresses (I wonder how they all found each other out) denounced the man to the Party after some of their own husbands were sentenced to death for graft in cases related to the big guy.

Top leaders in the Communist party are warning that the level of corruption among its top ranks is so serious that it could threaten the Party’s continuing rule.

As Reagan would say, “Just let those Commies try to compete with us when it comes to being so corrupt.”  or something like that.

It was the fourth time for Berkeley police to catch Honniball (that IS his real name) working in the nude or exposing himself to mail carriers.

This time, however, the 51-year old was taken to court.

While building bookcases for a home in Oakland, the carpenter, working in the nude, was reported by a neighbor.

Court dates, defenses and prosecutions followed.

After a three-day, non-jury trial, the judge was convinced by the defense

1.  that the man ”didn’t intend to have a lewd display of his body,”

2.  that he “hadn’t acted in a lewd fashion or had any intent to gratify himself or anyone else in public,”

3.  that he was “not aware that people were looking at him,”

4.  that he was NOT GUILTY.

The man’s attorney concluded, his client “has decided that that although what he did was not illegal, it’s probably prudent to wear clothes while he works so he doesn’t face legal hassles again.”

If you ask me, there should be an age limit for showing yourself nude in public…and this guy was well passed that limit by a Chinese zodiac cycle or so.
