Local con men have some of the "best" excuses

Investment scheme swindlers claim (among other things) that "their work is faith-based and does not fall under securities laws."

Other excuses include "the government's case is fraudulent because they (the defendants) are not citizens of the country" (even though they appear to have been born in this state), that "they have not damaged the plaintiff in the case, the United States of America", and "federal prosecutors have "failed in their duties" to protect the constitution".

Oh yes, and they're accusing the U.S. attorney's office in South Carolina of several dozen "unlawful actions". That's sure to fly well.

This just in!

Lindsay Graham (R-SC), John McCain (R-AZ), and Joe Lieberman (I-CT) are STILL douchebags.

Short version: "WAAAHHH! We don't want the government to spend any money on actually having trials for the people still locked up at Gitmo! We're douchebags who think they should be held for the rest of their lives without being charged!"

On the other side, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Defense Secretary Robert Gates say that there should be the option of military commissions or civilian courts for the detainees.

Well, that's hardly the short version....

PGA (that's Professional Golfing Association) bans player for doping..

This can't be serious.

Holy shit.

This guy felt he had to pump on drugs to play golf.

That can't be right.

Maybe he was taking the drugs so he could stay awake while playing golf.
