On August 15, 2014, Perry was indicted by a Travis County grand jury for abuse of power.[132][133] He had vetoed $7.5 million in funding for state public corruption prosecutors after the head of that unit, Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, a Democrat, refused to resign after having been convicted of drunk driving, and subsequently incarcerated. The indictment includes two charges: abuse of official capacity (a first-degree felony), and coercion of a public servant (a third-degree felony)

Wait till you hear this one!

From the Illinois Times:

The pastor of St. Aloysius church on Springfield’s north end has been granted a leave of absence after he called 911 from the rectory and told a dispatcher that he needed help getting out of handcuffs. “I’m going to need help getting out before this becomes a medical emergency,” Father Tom Donovan told a dispatcher who sounds a bit incredulous during the Nov. 28 call. “You’re stuck in a pair of handcuffs?” the dispatcher asks. “(I was) playing with them and I need help getting out,” Donovan responds. Donovan told the dispatcher that he was alone in the rectory. It’s not clear exactly how he ended up in handcuffs or why he feared a medical emergency. His voice sounds garbled or muffled on the tape, and sources say that police discovered some sort of gag on the priest when they arrived. The diocese has been tight-lipped about the matter, saying only that Bishop Thomas Paprocki granted Donovan’s request for a leave of absence at some point before Christmas.

(Call-out mine.) Oh deary me!

Anti-Gay Pastor Convicted of Masturbating in a Public Park

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. From Towleroad:
Grant Storms, Hypocrite
Want some piping hot Schadenfreude for breakfast? Well here it is…Anti-gay activist and self-confessed hypocrite Grant Storms, made famous for his homophobic crusades during New Orleans’ annual Southern Decadence event, has been convicted of obscenity after being caught masturbating in a public park
From NOLA.com:

[Judge Ross LaDart] promptly found Storms guilty of the single count of obscenity. He sentenced Storms to three years of probation, citing no evidence of a criminal history.
LaDart also ordered Storms to be evaluated, apparently psychologically. The judge noted that in Storms’ confession, he admitted that Feb. 25, 2011, the day he was arrested, was the third time that week that he masturbated in Lafreniere Park.
“Lafreniere Park is a public place,” LaDart said in announcing the verdict. “Lafreniere Park is a place that was chosen by this defendant to engage in a history of masturbation.”
Storms declined to testify. His attorneys, Brett Emmanuel and Donald Cashio, did not overtly deny their client masturbated in the park but argued he never exposed his penis. The exposure was a necessary element of the obscenity charge.
In his confession, Storms told Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kevin Balser he had taken a break from his grass cutting business to sip a beer in the park, where he said he became “horny.” He said he put his hands into his underwear, but he never exposed himself.

Storms said previously he was looking for a “thrill’ by taking care of his business in public. 
I’ll just bet he’s thrilled now! Filthy hypocrite!

Schadenfreude

This is a photo of Ruth Madoff on the subway in NYC just after Federal marshals delivered eviction notices to her (now former) $7-million duplex penthouse. While gathering a few things Ms. Madoff asked the marshals if she could take her favorite fur coat and they told her no.

No I can’t help but think that this woman was well aware of what her a$$h@le husband was up to in screwing all of those investors as she did have some sort of job at Bernie’s office. If she did she should be in jail along with her husband.

However, if she didn’t know anything or was just too stupid to notice anything going on I could feel very bad for this woman. She’s reduced from a high-spending lifestyle where money, cars, homes, boats and jets were de rigueur to living the rest of her life with only (I wish I had that much) $2.5-million. She cannot show her face anywhere in NYC without the “paps” snapping her photo. She has no friends that her husband hasn’t screwed and she is an outcast. A pariah.

If I were she I would take that $2.5M, change my name and find a little spot in Idaho where she can live out the rest of her life in obscurity. At any rate this photo of her in the subway pleads for the caption “See how the mighty have fallen”. Plus that poster above her reads “99 cents does more”.

Oh Snap!

Schadenfreude Alert!

TPT (The Poor Thing)

From Huffington Post:

NEW YORK — A Florida hedge fund manager, Arthur Nadel, who disappeared for two weeks as investigators closed in on him can be freed on $5 million bail after being accused of ripping off investors of as much as $350 million, a judge said Wednesday.

U.S. District Court Judge Denise Cote rejected a prosecutor’s arguments that no release conditions could ensure that Arthur Nadel would not flee.

Let him rot!
