Ya Mad, Laura? Ya Mad?

Not too long ago, it was brought to my attention, by a neighbor, that Laura Johnson-McNish, the county attorney of Marshall County, Kansas, cheats on her taxes. At first, I didn't believe it, because it is such a pedestrian and corrupt thing for an elected official to do, but my neighbor proved it by directing me to the appropriate website. McNish pays property taxes on a farm, which would not be a problem if McNish actually owned farmland and farmed. As it happens, farming and ranching are prohibited in the Keystone Addition, where she lives, so there is not a legal way her property could be considered a farm. All of her neighbors pay property taxes on residential properties.

Earlier this month, at a hearing that had nothing to do with anyone's property taxes, Ms. McNish expressed some angry feelings at the person who made her tax discrepancies public. Specifically, she wanted a judge to take what was written about her tax evasion into consideration during a sentencing hearing. While the judge probably did this, he asked her if she was "incensed". McNish may be incensed; but why isn't she paying a just and fair amount of property taxes to the community off of which she leaches? Everyone else pays the appropriate amount of property tax, and no one else "farms" on land where farming is not permitted. For that matter, no one has actually been able to find the McNish's farm! Her son drove drunk through a cornfield once, and was never sanctioned, but that was nowhere near Keystone Addition.

If Laura Johnson-McNish is angry or "incensed", perhaps she should remember that Marshall County actually has ample reason to be incensed with her.

Terri Horman Has Another Identity Crisis

Terri Moulton Horman, former stepmother of missing Kyron Horman, who disappeared from his school in Portland, Oregon in 2010, when he was seven, wants to try to change her name. She has already tried this once, and the court in Douglas County, Oregon decided against it. Not only had she chosen the name of a foreign national whose hair color and complexion are similar to her own, which could easily create a passport nightmare in the event that a warrant is issued for her arrest, but finding Ms. Horman in another country in the first place would be difficult. Because Ms. Horman is the last person known to have seen Kyron on the day he went missing, the public's best interest would be served if she would cooperate with law enforcement and answer their questions about the day Kyron disappeared from his school before changing her identity. She refuses, and has failed two polygraph examinations, which leaves a gaping hole in the investigation and forces authorities to consider her as a possible suspect in this case, rather than a mere witness. Under those circumstances, Douglas County determined in August that Ms. Horman should not change her name.

Questions indicating deception on Terri Horman's polygraph examinations.

Terri Horman's new court date in Lane County, Oregon is on December 11, 2014. To date, she has not cooperated with law enforcement in Kyron's missing persons case and has not answered their questions. A petition protesting the name change is circulating right now, and will be hand delivered to the court during the hearing. You can click here to sign it.

Busted! You Can Run But You Can't Hide!

Unless the ringtone you are using is the sound of flatulence, your anal passage probably isn't the best place to hide your cell phone when you are in jail. At least, that's what a prisoner in India discovered. He hid the phone up his anus when he heard the approach of a guard, and was taken to the hospital when he was unable to stand up straight. Before too long, the man's friend decided to call back. The ring tone did not sound like stomach sounds, and an Xray confirmed the suspected truth: the prisoner had inserted the contraband into his rectum in order to avoid detection! When he was unable to retreive the cell phone, (also unable to answer it) the doctor proposed surgery. (a telephone-ectomy?) The man begged them to consider less invasive options, and proceeded to crap the phone and the accessories out onto the floor. In the future, will defense attorneys in India be forced to recommend this ringtone, http://www.zedge.net/r1522006?src=d, as the ringtone of choice, to all prisoners?

In a similar story, snagged from CNN, there's a little boy who insists that he did not eat his mother's cake sprinkles.

 

 

Terri Horman Can Hide, But She Can't Run

Here's an oldie, but goodie; Terri Horman, hiding behind a younger female, unwilling to cope with a young man who wants to ask her questions about her stepson. My, my, my. Do you suppose, Terri, that by the time Kiara is a woman, she will have seen videos like this more times than she has seen you? Think about it.
