Some tumultuous moments were apparently taking place a few blocks from where I now sit typing away. An armed inmate took a hostage or hostages about 8:30 this morning at the Jefferson County Courthouse in Beaumont, Texas, but is back in custody, according to the Beaumont Enterprise This news somehow puts me in a funk for you know, rainy days and Mondays and hostage-taking always gets me down. That’s a joke son. I dig rainy days and Mondays can be okay, especially if it’s a rainy Monday. Hostage-taking. Bad.
Hopefully, things are back to normal at the county courthouse and no one was hurt. I can predict with accuracy of plus/minus 12 percent that someone — in addition to the inmate — now has their ass in a crack.
And speaking of crack …
Do you think Rudy’s peeps are smoking crack?
Rudy’s campaign is slamming a New York firefighters union that plans to derail the former hizzoner’s presidential campaign. Just who do those ungrateful union radicals think they are putting down St. Rudy, the man who saved New York all by his lonesome — with a little help from Bernie Kerik, of course — after 9/11?
