Wow. We hope we're this feisty, and wildly insane, when we're sixty-four. It seems that sixty-four-years-young Diane Craig of Danville was arrested yesterday for attempting to burn down restrooms of an Arco station, a Chevron station, and... a Starbucks? Oh, and the best part: She used firelogs and lighter fluid to set the establishments ablaze. But is Craig another run-of-the-mill arsonist? Hell no. When the fuzz found her at a nearby fast food joint......

Today on their site they claim the following, "Breaking News: Cosco Busan Vessel Arrested." Which? Okay then.

Three boys -- possibly ruining their lives at the wee ages of 15, 16, and 17 -- were arrested yesterday, all of then booked on suspicion of murder. The fuzz believes that the three of them were among the five boys who tried robbing a group of friends hanging out at Washington Park in Alameda, killing one of them. "One of the assailants fired several shots in the air and then shot Ichinkhorloo in......

"I am not gay. I never have been gay," lisped Republican Idaho Senator Larry Craig, with his beard wife, Suzanne, by his side. After getting arrested by an undercover office in a Minneapolis airport boy's room for engaging "in actions 'often used by persons communicating a desire to engage in sexual conduct,'" the GOP senator plead guilty to a disorderly conduct charge, with the hope that it would all quietly go away. Well, it......
