Bottom Headline of the Day
James Taranto at Best of the Web Today has this running feature where he puts the most ridiculous, obvious, duh-inducing headlines under the heading of "Bottom Stories of the Day". Example:
"Chamber Not to Hold Extraordinary Session Today"--headline, Ceske Noviny (Czech Republic), Feb. 7Well, I got one for him: Suspected Santa Cruz pot dealer back in jail
A repeat dope offender in Santa Cruz? The devil you say! Interestingly, this fellow claimed to be providing medical marijuana to dispensaries. But--though this may be too shocking to contemplate--he may have just been an ordinary dope dealer using that as cover:
Hoey was arrested in December when deputies found 100 pounds of marijuana and more than $500,000 cash in his possession during an investigation. Sheriff's investigators reported they also found evidence Hoey had mailed marijuana to at least one person on the East Coast.Terrible. Who could possibly have seen this one coming?His attorney, Ben Rice, has claimed Hoey was providing pot for local medical marijuana dispensaries.
