    Houston to spend $150,000 to defend anti-beard law.

    The Houston City Council on Wednesday unanimously authorized spending up to $150,000 to defend the city in a lawsuit challenging the no-facial hair policy.

    "The lawsuit is pending and we have to defend ourselves," Councilman Ron Green said. "But we're basically saying we want new police officers, but we don't want police officers with beards."

    I'm sorry, but that makes me bristle with indignation.

    Sounds like they're looking for a scapegoattee - though I think they should shave themselves the effort.

    By the end of the night, according to a friend of the privately-educated teenager, the house “looked like a war zone” with £6,000 worth of jewellery and clothes looted by some of the guests, and televisions thrown in the swimming pool.

    Finally, the murderer Osama bin Laden has been gunned down. It apparently took 20 bullets to finish him off.

    The mayor of Rabbit Hash in Kentucky has died at the age of 13. Sounds a bit young, but it's really quite old. For a dog.

    With a town name like that, I don't think the fact they have a dog as their mayor needs to be explained.

    It was unclear whether the hedgehog was still alive when it was thrown, though police said it was dead when collected as evidence.
