| Female Civil Servants in India must now disclose menstrual history |
FEMALE civil servants in India are furious with new government guidelines that force them to list intimate details, including their menstrual history, in appraisal forms, a newspaper reported today. The All-India Services Performance Appraisal Rules 2007 – which apply to senior government workers – ask female employees to record their last menstrual period, as well as when they last took maternity leave, the Hindustan Times said. "The questions are too intrusive and have no bearing on our work," Seema Vyas, a senior bureaucrat in Maharashtra state, was quoted as saying. India's Ministry of Personnel, which drew up the new appraisal guidelines, says it has not received any complaints and the addition of such questions was based on advice from health officials. "I assume this will help evaluate the officer's fitness," Satyanand Mishra, the ministry's most senior bureaucrat, told the newspaper. But women officers said it was "insensitive" and "irrelevant", adding they planned to protest. "Health problems or aberrations are generally mentioned to assess the officer's physical fitness," said Chandra Iyengar, a senior civil servant.

"Do you tend to bloat up like the Michelin man and eat gallons of Haagen-Dazs while watching the Lifetime channel?"
"Do you use more than 3 rolls of toilet paper a day for a week?"
"Does even your mother think you are 'overdoing it, dear'?" technorati tags:news, new-dehli, india, sexual-harassment, civil-service, funny, odd, bizarre, weird, offbeat, offbeat-news, quirky, funny-humor, humor, comedy, menstruation Blogged with Flock Labels: bizarre, civil service, comedy, funny, funny humor, humor, india, menstruation, new dehli, news, odd, offbeat, offbeat news, quirky, sexual harassment, weird |

| Man arrested for pimping out sister on Craigslist |
A Las Vegas man is under arrest accused of sexually assaulting his mentally challenged sister and attempting to offer her for sex out on the internet. 34-year-old Rodney Nickerson is being held on $800,000 bail. According to a police report, Nickerson admitted to putting a photo of his 36-year-old sister on craigslist website. The ad featuring his sister apparently asked men if they wanted to have sex with her. The report states Nickerson also fondled his sister and had another man touch her as well. Nickerson's mother told New's 3 her son has always taken care of his sister since they were little . "I know my son didn't do what they said he did," Deborah Nickerson told News 3. "My son also stuck up for her, (has) taken care of her. He's never bothered her sexually." Police say they received a tip about the craigslist ad around mid-March. An undercover officer tried to arrange a meeting with Nickerson twice, but Nickerson never showed up. Nickerson goes before a judge to answer to these charges at the end of the month.

I can't believe this guy chose craiglist to do this. I mean...Ebay would give him a much better profit.

| Woman arrested for being high on Holy Spirit...and a little bit of marijuana |
| Holy Spirit and a little bit of marijuana — Saturday, about 5:20 a.m., Officer Rocky McDaniel was sent to check on a woman walking in the middle of University Blvd., causing drivers to have to go around her. The woman had “very red bloodshot eyes and very intoxicated on an unknown drug... did not have any normal behavior,” McDaniel wrote in his report. She said she was going to the emergency room to see a friend who had overdosed. When he asked her if she knew why McDaniel stopped her, she stated “because I was walking in traffic.” Yes, that was correct, and he explained she couldn’t walk in the roadway. Then, he asked her if she was high on some kind of drug. Her answer, the report said, was “I am. It’s the Holy Spirit and little bit of marijuana.” He asked if she had any left and she said, “Not enough to get you high, but I know who to go to for more.” McDaniel asked who and she answered, “Jesus.”
She searched herself and produced a glass pipe with a green leafy substance residue, and she stated, according to the report, that she had “put it in the pipe so I would not lose it for later.”
McDaniel asked if that was all she had on her and she emptied her pockets. The last pocket she searched, the report continues, she pulled two plastic drinking straws and a plastic baggy with a white powder inside. “I guess not. That’s my snort tubes and there is just a little left in the baggy, but not enough to use.” She then handed all the property to McDaniel.
McDaniel said he was going to have to take her to jail. She leaned over and picked up her coat and said, “OK... It’s getting cold out here.” When given jail breakfast, she made an applesauce sandwich, then took off her sock and wiped her mouth with it, the report continued. Source: heraldemocrat.com Goosey's Gabbings... I guess I see the logic here. God made all of creation. God created marijuana. God told Adam and Eve to partake of all of creation. So, if you deny using marijuana, you are defying the Bible, God, and everything good. You WILL burn in hell with Lucifer and Don Imus. Amen.

| Snellville Georgia New City Ordinance Kicks Gangs to the curb |
Snellville has hung out the "No Vacancy" sign for gangbangers. By passing the street gang terrorism and prevention ordinance Monday night, the City Council also served notice that suspected gang members will find it very difficult to keep a rental roof over their heads within the city limits. Landlords can streamline evictions in cases where three or more suspected gang members are living together, using a civil court process that can take a few weeks or even days, as opposed to four to six months under the existing criminal court process. Police Chief Roy Whitehead, who pushed for the ordinance, said Tuesday it is a preventive measure, as opposed to a reaction to an existing widespread problem. "We want to prevent it [gang-related activity] from coming here," Whitehead said. Whitehead said his effort to get the ordinance passed was partly as the result of one recent case, where four brothers suspected of being gang members were arrested and then evicted. They are still suspects in an investigation that could involve charges of burglary, robbery, statutory rape and holding a teenage girl against her will for four days, he said. The family has denied the siblings were part of a gang. Under the new law, the police will work in partnership with landlords who believe they've rented to gang members, he said. Police will go to Magistrate Court along with the landlord and help present evidence to a magistrate, who, if convinced, can issue an eviction notice. "There's a possibility this could be seen as displacing a crime problem," Whitehead said, acknowledging that evicted gang members might just move to a nearby community with less stringent ordinances. But if enough cities pass similar ordinances, they'll have nowhere to go, he added. Landlord and Realtor Dave Holley said he supports the measure but doesn't want landlords to be held liable for any illegal activity by tenants. Whitehead said the group of suspected gang members whose case led him to seek this ordinance had come to Snellville after being evicted from a rented home in another county. Source: AJC.com
Goosey's Gabbings... So, does the KKK count as a gang? I think they'd probably have some pretty full jail cells if it were.....
