The local paper is on my side! They have Floriduh section.

Woman allegedly used tampon to snort cocaine

Investigators found marijuana in the vehicle and a white plastic tube with cocaine inside.

Yanulaque reportedly said she bought the drugs a "long time ago."
Noting she'd been addicted to ecstasy and other drugs in the past, Yanulaque said she now only smokes marijuana.

She said she used the "straw" that she got from a tampon in the past to snort cocaine.

At FloriDUH headquarters even we are at a loss for words.

Sounds like she out to repurpose her life instead of her tampons.

1. Thanks for reading the Slantinel.
So the rest of us don't have to. Remember to wash your hands when you're done.

4. When they lost Charlie Reese, they lost me.
If I wanted a Chicago paper, I would move to Chicago. I got a call yesterday offering their rag for a buck seventy-five a week. This is the going cost for the Sunday edition alone. I declined of course and added that I don't have that many fish to wrap. I also added that when I had a local paper that reflected local interests on the front page instead of in the dungeon I might subscribe. He answered with the argument that he was just trying to make a living. That makes me wonder who took a shot at him before I did.

This shit is playing before an empty hall. When are they going to get that?

5. In my case, they helped good ole boys by burying a major story.
Lawyers, judges etc. The best that I can figure, there are places in Florida where they're suspending rules so that Libertarian rule takes over. Of course, the rest of us don't know it. We just think they're incompetent and/or crooked. Yet, nobody can touch them. The lawyers you would use to take action, don't tell you about their conflicts of interest, and steer you in the wrong direction. This thing can't happen without the papers being quiet.
