When there's enough stories to make me say "WTF" while listening to the news, because it's so absurd it seems like it belong in the Onion and not in mainstream, actual media, I'm going to post links to those stories and call it: "This Week in WTF."
This week, I have two absolutely ASININE stories from dear old America (Happy 232 birthday!).
#1 A woman, who became a man, but still kept her female reproductive organs, found out her/is wife could not have children, so.. HE had the child. Legally defined as a male, he was artificially inseminated and the couple just recently had a baby.
Link to man who had a baby story is here.
#2 A laid-off security guard went all vigilante in the town of Gerald, Missouri. After losing his job, he decided he'd take a bite outta crime by pretending to be a federal agent. He faked credentials with the local police, who fell for his game hook line and sinker and off they went, busting into people's homes illegally. He would literally kick down doors, through all adults to the ground, make them name names of drug dealers they knew, no matter the elderly or children or innocent involved. Because of recent years with the tinkering of wire tapping laws and stipulations in the PATRIOT act, lots of people, police and townspeople alike, thought it was okay for him to completely violate the FOURTH AMENDMENT and enter their homes without a warrant. (That's so 1984, it's scary.)
Bill Jakob fooled lots of people, but apparently broke no laws, because he was seen on many a talk show this week, telling his vigilante tale of busting the alleged druggies. BTW, lots of those people were absolutely innocent, Hence the protection of the 4th amendment.
And that's This Week in WTF.
