Coffey Talk
Some light commentary on the news of the day
Texarkana, Arkansas: Trice Elementary PTA officer Julie Bailey has turned over to
police the names of eight students—first through fifth-graders—suspected of stealing
money from a school candy sale. Total missing: $448. Guess they were caught with
their hands in the cookie jar.
Miami Beach, Fla.: Chrysler Corp. canceled plans to unveil its neon subcompact
here because of crime fears a decision immediately denounced by tourism officials.
Florida’s image has been hurt by the killings of 10 foreign tourists within 13 months.
Foreign competition is diminishing in Florida!
Helena, Montana: A shoplifting charge against ex-Gov. Tom Judge has been
dropped. He was accused last month of stealing a $1.99 container of smokeless tobacco.
Cited: lack of evidence. What, didn't have change for a $lOO bill?
Blackfoot, Idaho: Blackfoot High officials say students will be divided into two
groups for lunch and the periods will be shortened so students can be supervised better.
Two females, 15 and 17, are sought in an assault that injured a female student, 17, last
week. What ever happened to just food fights?
Portland, Oregon: Tri-Met bus driver Ronald Smith, 45, is accused of pushing a 3-
week-old baby in a stroller down the steps of his bus because babies are not allowed to
ride in strollers on buses. The act led to a fight between the infant’s father, Daryl Barber,
and Smith and a passenger, who tried to intervene, police said. SLAM! DA DA DUH!
DA DA DUH!
Freeport, Maine: Freeport Middle School’s new Homework Hotline has been getting
40-60 calls a night. The voice-mail system lets students and parents call in to find out
what homework teachers assigned for that day. Oh, this is going to be great for
attendance!
Chicago, Illinois: As school officials and police met to discuss security, Sullivan
High student Kati Faber, 15, was shot to death across from the school. A boy, 16, and a
girl, 13, were charged with murder. No motive was given. Instead of talking, how
about a little action!
College Park, Maryland: The editor of the University of Maryland student
newspaper said he will press charges if the people who stole 10,000 copies of The
Diamondback are found. Campus police said they have two possible suspects. The
thieves left notes calling the paper racist. Are those 10,000 newspapers in your pocket or
are you just happy to see me!
York, Pennsylvania: Paul Legore, 77, says he’s glad the man who broke into his
home Saturday didn’t die after Legore and his wife, Inez, 72, both shot him. “I’m not
going to mess around with a .22 anymore. It doesn’t have enough stopping power. I
have a shotgun.” Be verwy verwy quiet! I'm huntining humans, huh huh huh.
Chicago, Illinois: The city of Jacksonville, Fla. received the second of two
expansion bids from the National Football League on Tuesday. St. Louis, Baltimore and
Memphis investors were upset that their cities were passed over for the final bid. Both
St. Lotus and Baltimore had NFL teams which they lost to Phoenix and Indianapolis
respectively. Sorry guys, but you had your chance the first time. Now It’s someone
else’s turn.
