It's Bad Behavior Friday™!

A San Francisco asst. D.A. has been busted for trading a plea deal for meth and ecstasy. Man, I don't know about the X, but it's not like it's hard to get meth in SF these days.

I just love this:

When relatives of Vivian Shulman Lieberman went to visit her final resting place in a Houston mausoleum one year ago today, they discovered that the cedar chest containing her ashes was missing.

In its place, behind the locked, glass door of Lieberman's niche in Congregation Beth Israel's mausoleum, was a can of sour-cream-and-onion potato chips.

What more could possibly be added to that?

In the failed state that is Guatemala, girls and women are being murdered "faster than anyone in authority can cope." Boy, having a born-again Christian for President sure helped out that country!

And in Cleveland, dozens of people have killed themselves by jumping off a prominent bridge (link courtesy Obscure Store). Only problem is, the bridge isn't over water, but a neighborhood, where the residents are tired of scenes like this:

They came upon a man splayed out in the grass, next to the bushes. Shreve remembers the middle-aged white guy lying on his stomach, his head busted open. His name was James Lehman. He was 33 years old.

Her children stared at his brains, which oozed into the spikes of green and yellow grass. More neighbors gathered. Then the police. An hour or so later, the body was carted away.

People, there's a basic rule of thumb involved here. If you're going to kill yourself, don't inconvenience other people.
