After killing an Iowa state bird during a charity golf game in Iowa, Rob Lowe confessed, “That’s unbelievable. Who comes here and kills the state bird? Only me.”

I thought this story was kinda funny until I pulled up the image of this cute little goldfinch, the Iowa state bird. First of all, that’s some shot! Bird is tiny. Secondly, only a born villain could kill this pretty little thing by accident. Seriously! That’s just bad joo-joo.

Police Lt. Ed Tracey, who commands the district that includes Lakeshore and Grand avenues told residents that while the Mother’s Day-eve crime spree was carried out by the same assailants, several other groups are looking to target streets with unwary residents and shopkeepers.

Police have also identified a troubling new trend: Some of the young suspects are users of the drug ecstasy.

“They have told us in interviews that it gives them a level of bravado they don’t usually have,” Tracey said.

Oh my God!  Are we running out of excuses? Creative ideas? Blames? It is obvious Police Lt. Ed Tracey missed out on the 80’s rave scene. Because, if these suspects were on ecstasy, they’d be running around cuddling with their victims while robbing them.  (Not that I personally know anything about ecstasy.)

Seriously, there is a reason why they call it “ecstasy” and not “angrily.”

This is a very funny flash animation. A bit old, but worthy of a late post. (Yes, it’s a political satire.)
