Bugs is still out sick.  The hockey brawl on here yesterday must have been the cause of his uncontrolled regurgitation.

The human remains discovered under the South Omaha bridge have been confirmed to be that of Michael O’Connor. He was last seen 2/12/2007 leaving a downtown parking garage across the street from his job. He never reported to work that day.

Former Sarpy County Sheriff Pat Thomas has resigned from the State Liquor Control Board in an effort to avoid being run over by Senator Ernie Chambers farewell tour.

Ernest has accused Thomas of being a racist after Thomas allegedly told a Hispanic bar owner to learn English. The bar owners license had been suspended for 15 day after selling to a drunken patron.

The Mayor Landow and Muppet Mike show hit Indianapolis today as part of the “Sell Out Omaha Show”. The Muppet will make his pitch to the NCAA on the new downtown stadium in lieu of a 25 year or more contract to hold the CWS. The NCAA isn’t expected to provide and answer today and neither is the Muppet.

Many questions are being asked of his proposal and why the people are not getting a say in the matter. The Mayors response, “Let em eat funnel cake”. Can’t wait to hear all his details when he returns from Hoosierville.

Charges we dismissed against Cordell Stewart after a detective was unable to testify due to a family emergency. Stewart is the man accused of shooting Chiwanda Ammons 2 times. Once he was convicted and the second time while he was released on appeal. He was convicted of the first shooting and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Prosecutors are expected to refile the charges.

Sorry for the slow news day. Hopefully everyone can play nice today.
