It is sad when the Christian ethics of modesty and honesty collide with the human universe of sex and the city. Oh, the wreckage, the carnage!
Here was a nice and conscientious public servant Mr. Barrett, who happens to be the State Representative of his district, as well as a collector of the nude figures of some of his female constituents. He is the very picture of the hip young, clean cut, all-American male.
He went to a high school government class to give a presentation on government. Right there, in front of God and this appreciative class of horny teen-agers, what should pop up on the screen? To his dismay, female nudes were hidden there on the power point demonstration he meant to make on the legislative process. (Pshaw! Haven't you all heard that nude ladies are often a part of the legislative process in almost every place?)
He said they weren't his photos. He tried to find an explanation. He blamed the Ohio State Library research people. Months went by.
Turns out he was lying. And now he admits it.
His party Leader, Mrs. Beatty, demanded his resignation.
"New information came to light, and when that new information came to light, Leader Beatty asked for and received his resignation," said Phil Saken, a spokesman for the Ohio House Democratic caucus.
So, Mrs. Beatty found her sense of righteousness and dignity and did --- the wrong thing. Maybe there was a law broken? Probably not. The crime here is embarrassment. So to get this blush off the cheeks of the esteemed and oh-so proper Ohio House of Reps, out he goes!
You might say he just represented his people too closely. click and click

RUNNERS-UP
REGINALD NEWMAN, of Missouri - currently a resident in the slammer for removing a UPC label from a water bottle and putting it on a television set and then taking it through the checkout lane. Even in Missouri, that made the clerk suspicious. $3 for a television? Seems this is fraud. Hmm.. we thought we taught him better than that in school. click
AMANDA MOYA, of Ohio --- a man fleeing down the street in his underpants, blood steaming from his face, bite marks on his chest. A woman with a knife racing after him. Back home: a porno movie running on the TV and a little baby left unattended. Verdict: WACKOs. click
[Under the BIRCHES we are beginning to suspect we have been living much too dull and prosaic lives. We never have adventures like these.]

Barrett didn't blame the Ohio library people. He blamed his 13 year old son. Big difference there.
Thank you!
Noted! :-)
