Wacko of the Week -- 02/16/08

UNKNOWN
(but there IS a suspect)

Murderer of
Kathryn Faughey

"She was a very good and decent person. She saw herself as the child of immigrants. Both of her parents came from Ireland. She was one of seven and the first in her family to go to college. She worked very hard to become what she was."

Under the Birches, we regard the work of those who try to straighten out our cloudy minds as the work of the angels. And we have needed that angelic intervention for generations in our species, as we crouch bewildered under the rustling leaves of the Birches.

So, when someone creeps into a psychiatric clinic and hacks an angel to death, we are even more disturbed. When the guy is pushing a wheeled suitcase full of weapons, designer adult diapers, and brassieres, we're convinced that we've not only located a wacko, but also a candidate for that most prestigious award: Wacko of the Week.

And when he's caught, we want him to get the very best of professional help. We all need it.

2.Jerry Keene, of Welch, W.Va. . He robbed a store wearing his underpants on his head. His victims recognized him anyway. (I guess he had the "sembles." If you don't know what the "sembles" is, just ask me.) As a frequent patron of the store, he had other features that made his identification a certainty.

Oh! Yeah, this was WEST VIRGINIA and the store was called "The Hillbilly Market." Once again, enough said.
