Wal-Mart Built Store On Traditional Mayan Grounds. “A Wal-Mart store rising near the 2,000-year-old pyramids of the Teotihuacan Empire has ignited the wrath of Mexican conservationists and nationalists, who say the U.S. retailer is destroying their culture at the foot of one of Mexico's greatest treasures… Last week, 63 prestigious artists and intellectuals, in a letter published in Mexican newspapers, asked President Vicente Fox to stop the structure. They see it as a battle pitting Mexico's heritage against encroaching U.S. influence. Wal-Mart is already Mexico's largest retailer, with 664 stores in 66 cities, with sales of $12 billion.” [Knight Ridder, 10/25/04]

Wal-Mart Built Atop Indian Burial Grounds. In 1993 in Southern California, Wal-Mart, faced with threats of a nationwide boycott if it proceeded with a development project that have destroyed Indian burial grounds, which Indians consider to be as holy as a church or synagogue. Wal-Mart was forced to compromise with the Indian activists by building a monument on store property to honor the grounds. [LAT, 10/16/93]

Wal-Mart Built Again On Indian Burial Grounds In 1997. In Nashville, Tenn., J. Donald Nichols Realty “sparked demonstrations and calls for a retail boycott in 1997 when it graded a site for Wal-Mart and Lowe's that included an Indian burial ground and Civil War fortifications, according to the Alliance for Native American Indian Rights in Tennessee.” [Fulton County Daily Report, 11/30/00]

Report suggests taxing hybrid cars
US highway fund said running low
By Jim Abrams, Associated Press | November 26, 2005

WASHINGTON -- Taxing hybrids and other fuel-efficient cars and billing drivers for miles driven are among the approaches being suggested to avert a shortfall in money to maintain the nation's highways.

Less than four months after President Bush signed a six-year, $286.4 billion highway and public transit act, a report commissioned by the US Chamber of Commerce said that the federal Highway Trust Fund is running out of money and that Congress needs to think about new revenue sources.

One [proposal] is that owners of hybrids and other alternative fuel vehicles pay a vehicle fee, the argument being that drivers should bear their fair share to fill potholes and fix bridges, regardless of how much or what kind of fuel they use.

2006 to Bring More Tax Breaks for Hybrids

WASHINGTON -- Hybrid cars are a good bet for tax breaks in 2006. The new year will bring more savings for buyers of at least 13 gas-electric vehicles, with those showing the most improvement in fuel efficiency securing bigger tax breaks for their new owners.

The breaks will come in the form of tax credits, and they range from $3,150 for buyers of the Toyota Prius to $250 for Chevrolet's Silverado pickup truck, according to an analysis by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.

Suspected Counterfeiters Clog Toilet

PUEBLO, Colo. - Two people suspected of counterfeiting money spent at least a week relieving themselves in plastic shopping bags, because the plumbing stopped working in their apartment when they flushed wads of suspected fake cash down the toilet, authorities said.
Selina Jean Valdez, 28, was arrested Thursday on a warrant for forgery, possession of forgery instruments and criminal mischief. Her suspected partner Daniel Marquez, 41, is wanted on the same charges.

The two are suspected of running a low-tech counterfeiting operation, using a combination printer-scanner-copier and a personal computer to make fake $50 and $100 bills, detectives said.

Investigators said they think Marquez and Valdez flushed wads of the counterfeit money down the toilet on Dec. 26 when detectives tried to question the two suspects. The rental duplex where Valdez and Marquez were staying was discovered flooded with sewage Thursday when police executed a search warrant.

RCMP warn of the dangers of gunplay after man shoots off finger in toilet

NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. (CP) - The RCMP warned about the dangers of gunplay Tuesday after a man shot off his finger in a toilet.

Police said they got a call early New Year's Day after a man was seen bleeding profusely from his hand at an apartment building.

When they arrived, there was no sign of the man, but a large amount of blood was found on an apartment door. In searching the apartment, police said they found a shell casing on the bathroom floor and a large pool of blood in front of the toilet.

"Apparently the male was playing with a handgun while using the bathroom and inadvertently shot his finger off," the RCMP said in a new release.

The RCMP also warned of the dangers of playing with guns while using the toilet, saying "it was not a good idea."

JOLT TO 'JERKY' JUDGE

By DAN KADISON
NY Post

January 5, 2006 -- A judge accused of masturbating on the bench will rise as a defendant thanks to one of his former employees — a court reporter who kept detailed records of the gavel-grabber's allegedly indecent behavior.

Donald Thompson, a one-time Creek County, Okla., district judge, must appear on four indecent-exposure charges because there was enough evidence to prosecute, a judge ruled Tuesday, according to the Daily Oklahoman newspaper.

Lone prosecution witness Lisa Foster gave two hours of testimony describing how Thompson allegedly pleasured himself with a penis pump while presiding over...

Maryland judge rules mooning not illegal

January 6, 2006

ROCKVILLE, Md. -- A Montgomery County judge ruled this week that the act of mooning is not illegal in Maryland, clearing a man accused of indecent exposure after showing his buttocks to a neighbor during an argument.

Judge John W. Debelius III said the defendant, Raymond Hugh McNealy, 44, committed a "disgusting" and "demeaning" act when he allegedly exposed himself to his neighbor and her 8-year-old daughter June 7. But the judge overturned a decision by a District Court judge against McNealy.

"If exposure of half of the buttock constituted indecent exposure, any woman wearing a thong at the beach at Ocean City would be guilty," Debelius said, according to a report Wednesday in the Washington Post.

McNealy's neighbor, Nanette Vonfeldt, accused him of yelling at her and threatening to "blow up my building" as she and her daughter walked out of their apartment. The two had a heated meeting the night before, according to McNealy's attorneys.

"Then, for whatever reason, in full view of my daughter, he mooned us," Vonfeldt wrote in court documents.

Montgomery District Court Judge Eugene Wolfe ruled against McNealy on the indecent exposure claim, a charge that is punishable by up to three years in prison and a $1,000 fine.

McNealy appealed, saying state law only covers display of a person's "private parts," not the buttocks. His attorneys cited a 1983 case of a woman arrested in front of the U.S. Supreme Court with only a cardboard sign on the front of her body. An appeals court later ruled indecent exposure only relates to a person's genitals.

Prosecutors disagreed, saying Maryland law is ambiguous.

"This was not a bathing suit scenario," said Montgomery County prosecutor Dan Barnett. "This was a grown man exposing himself to an 8-year-old girl."

McNealy attorney James Maxwell said the Debelius ruling should "bring comfort to all beachgoers and plumbers" in the state.

More details on this gripping judicial tale...

Ex-judge ordered to trial

By Anthony Thornton
The Oklahoman

BRISTOW - Former Creek County District Judge Donald Thompson, accused of masturbating while presiding over court cases, will face trial on four indecent exposure charges, a judge ruled Tuesday.

James Bland, an associate district judge from Pittsburg County, made the ruling after two hours of testimony by the prosecution's only witness, Lisa Foster.

Foster served as Thompson's court reporter for 15 years until he fired her Sept. 26, 2003, the day after she spoke under oath to an investigator for the Council on Judicial Complaints.

Foster described how she kept virtually silent for three years after first hearing a pumping sound and later seeing Thompson use a penis pump and shave his scrotum during murder and rape trials.

After first witnessing Thompson squeezing the bulb on the device in February 2001, Foster said she told only her friend and fellow court reporter, Terri Clee, who urged her to report it to authorities.

Foster said she declined, hoping it wouldn't happen again.

Why wait, special prosecutor Pattye High asked.

"I was scared and I didn't want to lose my job, and I really didn't want to do anything that might hurt him or embarrass his family," Foster replied.

A month later, she borrowed a camera from the district attorney's office and took three photos of the penis pump lying beneath Thompson's courtroom bench.

Even as the pumping became louder and more frequent, Foster said, she told no one but her mother, her husband and his mother.

Occasionally she typed "sh sh," her description of the sounds she heard, on her stenographer's keyboard, and once she wrote in notes "P in T," which stood for "penis in tube."

During the October 2002 trial for Tammy Brooks, a mother accused of permitting fatal child abuse, Foster said, she noticed Thompson was using a different pump, one with a caulk gun-like handle.

She said the closing arguments segment of that trial was the first time she noticed Thompson shaving his pubic region. She said she wrote in notes that the disposable razor was blue and gray.

...In addition to the penis pump, Foster testified that she saw Thompson masturbate with hand lotion "on numerous occasions."
