The weirdest crime of 2008 so far - and it didn’t take place in Kitsap County, Washington. Arizona beauty queen accused of kidnapping.
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A law school student and former beauty queen who has posed for a racy calendar while brandishing a weapon has been accused of kidnapping, biting and threatening a former boyfriend with a handgun.
Would it be possible to cram a more bizarre collection of words into one sentence?
I particularly love that this story is filed under “Breaking News - International”. Good to know that the Guardian is keeping a close watch on crises worldwide.

I find it extremely difficult to believe this did not happen in Florida. :>

Rich, I found it difficult to believe this story wasn’t about Tonya Harding. If you replace “law school student” with “GED holder”, it’s a dead ringer.
This lead me to check up on Tonya to see what she’s been up to since her career in breaking skaters’ kneecaps. It seems she “… would like to make enough money boxing then retire to live alone with her Persian cat, Smalls.”
If you’d like to hone your skills by writing your own fantasy stories about Tonya, you can submit them to her at tonyaharding dot com.

Is that a challenge? Sounds like a good competition to get the year off to a good start
