SWAT Team Wakes Suspect After Standoff
A Walhalla man might have had a good reason for not responding to officers who surrounded his home: He was asleep in a recliner when the SWAT team found him after a four-hour standoff, authorities said.
"He did not know we were there until we put our hands on him," Oconee County Sheriff's Capt. Steve Jenkins

Mocha-momma has become a big fan of a reality show based on SWAT teams in Dallas, Detroit, and Kansas City. Her favorite is the Dallas SWAT team; she has the hots for a couple of the guys on the team. Personally, I find the show boring as all get out. They spend an entire half-hour hyping up some operation that they've been called on, and in just about every episode the outcome is just like this one. The suspect is usually not in the house, and they've sat outside for 6 hours; or, the suspect has vowed he'll never be taken alive, but he pops out after about an hour and gives up without a fight. There have been a few where the person has killed themself, those are the sad ones; because as we know, none of these guys who are taken are beyond the grasp of God's grace to turn their lives around. I realize that SWAT teams around the country do find themselves in terrifying and deadly situations, which would make for good TV drama. The episodes they air on A&E though have about as much drama as watching paint dry.

Chris Cornell to Leave Audioslave
Chris Cornell is leaving rock group Audioslave, citing "irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences."

Say it ain't so Joe. This is like Lennon leaving the Beatles, or Garfunkle leaving Simon, or Alvin leaving the Chipmunks. Well, at least it would be, if anyone had ever heard of Chris Cornell or Audioslave. I have absolutely no clue who he is or they are. I guess there must be a couple hundred fans scattered around the globe who find this news. It must make good filler for the FoxNews web site.

Dog Groomer Accused of Cutting Dog's Ear Off and Gluing It Back On
GIG HARBOR, Wash. —
A Gig Harbor woman says she was "freaked out" while giving her dog a bath when its ear floated away.
The woman, Anni Sheriffius, told KIRO-TV that she believes a groomer cut off the dog's ear and tried to glue it back on with super glue.
The dog named Jasimin, a shi tzu, was treated for an infection.

Do you suppose this groomer just looks at this as a job, and not necessarily a vocation. If they actually loved animals, I would assume they would have put the well-being of the dog above all else. The only thing I can assume is that the groomer was intimidated by the litigious nature of American's prevalent in todays age.

As a side-note; what's with the super glue not holding. What's so super about it if it won't hold an ear onto a dog's head.
