Some interesting items in the news, local and worldwide;<\/p>\n

Arrest prompts review at NKU
\n<\/a> – “The arrest of the Northern Kentucky University Foundation president on marijuana trafficking charges will prompt a review of its financial records by an outside auditor.” The head of a college fundraising foundation selling marijuana? Hey, give the guy credit for creativity. Budgets are tight everywhere, and I bet the revenue beats the hell out of a bake sale.<\/p>\n

\nPrisoner flees in new Mustang
\n<\/a> – “A prisoner at the LaRue County jail bought a car from the deputy jailer’s father, then escaped in the car when the deputy jailer went into a pharmacy, state police said.” What can I say? A deputy jailer lets a prisoner test drive a car the deputy’s father has for sale. Even the Dukes of Hazzard writers wouldn’t have created an episode that stupid.<\/p>\n

\nAnd, on an international level: Beer shortage in Germany?<\/a> Yeah, right! A friend sent me this article (for some reason, people always send me stuff about beer) about the threat of a beer shortage in Germany as a result of a new mandatory deposit on cans
