It's Bad Behavior Wednesday™! -- second coming edition

Nobody said I couldn't do it on Wednesday too.

A 60-year-old Puerto Rican preacher in Florida, head of a group he claims has 300 congregations and 100,000 members, is worshipped as Christ but recently has claimed to be the Anti-Christ, complete with 666 tattoo.

"Critics" claim it's a cult. You think!!?!

I just really like the lede on this story so I'll quote it verbatim:

A Houstonian who invited two men to his townhome after chatting with them on an Internet site late Monday ended up bound in duct tape as the strangers hauled computers, jewelry and other valuables away in his car, police said.

The writer of that tight lede, Houston Chronicle reporter Kevin Moran, is an old hand.

A New York woman who slept in the same bed as her baby to protect him from rats accidentally rolled on top of him, suffocating him. The AP story said: "The building has reportedly been cited by the city for nearly 380 violations, including 20 for mice and rodent infestations. The landlord told the Daily News he was not aware of any rat problems."

A Texas man killed a UT student, decapitated her in the bathtub, then fled to Mexico with his girlfriend. After trying to pin the murder on his girlfriend, he was convicted today and got 55 years. After the jury returned a verdict in 90 minutes, a defense lawyer commented: "The jury considered everything. It was a brutal battle with drugs and alcohol."

No wonder they execute so many people in Texas -- the juries get high.

A South San Francisco man has been accused of biting off his wife's lip. The lip was reattached. The man's name is Akano Nzerem -- a challange when you've got all your lips.

Hilary Clinton says she is "flattered" by people who indulge in character assassination. Well, I hope so, since she's in for another ten years of it -- two years of campaigning, and eight as President.
