sue 'em all!

Oh boy! Small town drama! It seems a local police officer didn't do the math right on converting milliliters to ounces, and so arrested a guy for having too much pepper spray in his car. Now the man has filed a federal lawsuit against pretty much the whole of Conway's administration, from the mayor on down.

Can I just note here how much I would not want to drive around with a bottle of pepper spray in my car? It seems much more likely that I would end up the teary-eyed victim than any would-be criminal!

I think this is a solid argument for the metric system (since logic, reason and global use seem to have failed).

You know, I like this town a lot. But I think the odds of a national movement for the metric system starting here are... pretty slim.

Perhaps, but then the chances of "Joe the Plumber" reporting from Gaza was less than pretty slim... and yet...
