Booze in the news
Yep. You read that correctly.
Police say an intoxicated 12-year-old boy stole a car Tuesday night and had three hit and run crashes before a citizen caught him.
A 1988 Honda Accord was taken from a Kwik Shop at First Street and Cornhusker Highway around 8:40 p.m., said Chief Tom Casady. The driver had left the keys inside the unlocked car.
…
He had a blood alcohol content of 0.14.
Well, what the fuck else is there to do in Nebraska ?
NYC can’t even profit from gambling
From Bloomberg.com:
New York Governor David Paterson ordered the New York City Off-Track Betting Corp. to prepare for a reorganization under Chapter 9 of federal bankruptcy law, after four years of losses totaling $38 million.
The filing, the first involving a New York State-run gambling operation, won’t halt operations. It will include the planned sale of $250 million of bonds to repay some accumulated debts and allow spending on new technology, said Meyer Frucher, whom Paterson appointed to develop a rescue plan.
