30 Months For Bob “Drunky” Ney

Ohio Congressman Bob Ney was sentenced to 30 months (the max sentence) this morning for his corruption charges. Some people are appalled by this, asking leniency because Ney was suffering from alcohol abuse problems at the time, and was generally a great dude. Others sent letters saying the punishment may not be enough because Ney did not resign when he could have, instead hanging around and milking Ohio’s tax money for his own salary. Maybe you shouldn’t have sent a fax with the subject line “Check Swap.”

Keeping the Cops in Check

Cleveland police are now just beginning to use a program that will point out problem officers, a program that was promised to start in 2000. The program will track things like use of force, complaints, and sick time to see if an officer is turning into a Dirty Harry. So after nearly seven years what type of amazing software have the police opted to use? How about Microsoft Access! BAM! Mindblowing, really.
