Howler of the day: The infamous road-rager Dr. Christopher T. Thompson says he never slammed on his brakes in front of cyclists Ron Peterson and Christian Stoehr — he merely stopped to take pictures of them.
This asshole’s lawyer must eat a lot of Chinese takeout, ’cause he appears to be basing his strategy on the advice of fortune cookies. Almost makes me wonder whether he’s written this one off in hopes of getting a conviction overturned on appeal.
Meanwhile, I’ll tell you the pic I want to see — the one of the look on Thompson’s face as the cell door clangs shut behind him.
Speaking of clowns, check this out — and this — and consider whether you’re enough of a multitasker to walk and/or operate a motor vehicle while talking/texting on or trying to find your cell phone. Would you see the clown or the 6-foot orange rabbit on the pedicab?

Um….I just have to ask this question….why does a professor of psychology own a clown suit?
Just asking….
I have been following this as best I can, and I have to wonder when the judge or prosecutor is going to charge this ass-hat with perjury, and/or lieing to a peace officer?
I still think that when they find this guy guilty the judge should make it illegal for him to own or drive a motor vehicle for life, classify it as an illegal weapon for him so that if he gets caught driving he goes to prison without having to stop at the judge’s bench first.
This just in: The thing that walks like a man with a medical degree was found guilty of all 7 counts and may face more than 10 years in jail.
I forgot the link: Evil on Trial: GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY!

I think the doctor’s going to have a lot of personal quiet time to reconsider his actions.
About the clown — did you ever watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahg6qcgoay4 ?
Pretty unnerving if your answer was, like mine, “What bear?”
