Maverick Marjorie is in dock as Congress acts

JUST when you thought US politics would settle down after Donald Trump, there is a new crank in town.

Fuelled by bizarre conspiracy theories, Marjorie Taylor Greene, a newly elected congresswoman from Georgia, has rocketed to national notoriety.

She believes banker-controlled space lasers caused the California wildfires, supported claims of a global paedophile scheme involving politicians and stars, and suggested that Barack Obama be executed.

She also believes the Sandy Hook and Parkland school massacres were hoaxes and mocked the killing of kids – so it was just as well colleagues banned her from a Congress education committee. It would be like asking KFC’s Col. Sanders to look after your chickens.

A lawyer has been disbarred after filming his own porn films with at least one female prisoner. Andrew Spark had already been suspended following his convictions for solicitation of prostitution and bringing contraband into jails. But now the Florida Bar has found that Spark solicited sex inside attorney-client visitation rooms at two separate prisons, for the purpose of making a porn movie. The attorney even drew up a modelling contract for inmates, where women would have to agree not to reveal his identity.

Spark gave a new meaning to brief encounters.

Six people were arrested on Monday after scaling steep terrain and changing the iconic Hollywood sign in Los Angeles to read Hollyboob.

It was apparently a protest against censorship.

After a near seven-year wait, diehard Cleveland Browns American football fan Jeff Panovich finally got a haircut following his team’s first winning season in over a decade.

It was just over six years ago when the season ticket holder vowed he would let his hair grow until the Browns had a winning season.

He assured his trip to the barbers when his team won more games than they lost this season.

When it comes to stupid is as stupid does, look no further than Matthew Leatham.

The 22-year-old, who for some reason has a large tattoo of Florida on his forehead, was arrested after repeatedly calling 911 to get a lift home.

However, when police finally did arrive, they found he had 20 grams of marijuana on him.

P.S.

My barman Richard told me this week he has been feeling neglected by his family over how he is coping under Covid. He said the one checking in on him most is Netflix. “Every few hours it asks me, ‘are you still watching?’” he said, “I say ‘yes, babe, thank you for asking’.”
