Six months ago, Ohio University head football coach Frank Solich pled no contest to DUI charges after being found slumped over his car's steering wheel with the car still in drive facing the wrong way down a one way street. He was not breathalyzed and was too incoherent to tell officers where he was heading or coming from.Guess what? He was on GHB, otherwise known as Roofies. A toxicology report taken a month after the affair occurred confirmed he had the date rape drug in his system, and in fact Solich can't recall even touching the substance.
So now, he's fighting his conviction on grounds that there's no evidence he was drunk and that he wasn't mistaken when he thought the 300 pound waitress at the local gin house really did want to take him home no matter what. Fight it Frank, fight it!

This week's DSCC email returns to us from the long gone Anne Lewis, someone that we would say we missed, but that would be a lie. Besides making the least sense of everybody who sends us these, Anne also begs for money more and clouds her arguments in stupidity. This email is no different. Here are some choice statements from a woman who has never met a quote or stat she didn't want to bang in your face.
Government officials are beginning to begin discussing implanting Mexican immigrants with RFID radio trackers that can be traced by border patrol agents and officials in Washington D.C. This basically lowers the standing of human beings to that of a caribou in the wilds of Africa.
The two spacemen on the international space station have been denied their chance to go down in record books as having the world's longest golf drive. Too bad for them, it's only work out there in their space walk.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers have always been a pretty admired band by us. They've kept up their own style and changed it to stay fresh over the decades, which we can respect, even if they do make a lot of those annoying "We Love California" songs.
The Batwoman series of comic books has returned, this time with the character being a 5'10" socialite lesbian. Naturally, issues are selling in NYC like hot cakes.
Tomorrow morning sees the departure of Katie Couric from the Today show on NBC to take over the anchoring duties over at CBS Evening News. It's the end of a leggy era, with Couric opening the way for The View's Meredith Viera, who is getting the hell out of that dumping ground of ovarian idiocy.
A young male baby born recently in China was born with a completely developed, fully functional third arm! Ahhhhhhhh!
Tuesday morning saw the continuation of Bush's cabinet remix, as Treasury Secretary John Snow resigned his position and President Bush looked to Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson to take the spot, making us think there are some stock options or cash being traded under the table. Or maybe even some incriminating photos or video of Dubya that's being held by GS in a vault somewhere.
Okay people, get your swimsuit and drunk hats out, because summer is officially here this weekend! And even though we in Texas moved seamlessly from winter to summer, it's finally for real, so now we can finally begin to complain without people labeling us as pussies.
Air Force General Michael Hayden has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate 78-15 to become the next Director of the CIA, ushering him into the ranks of past directors like J. Edgar Hoover, Porter Goss, and a bunch of other dudes that no one remembers.
What do you do when your country's teenagers grab a trend that has religious implications and run with it like the wind? If you're China, you ban it.
A 14-year veteran of the Houston Police Department was relieved of duty after being caught pulling off a menage-a-trois with his wife and her best friend during an Astros/Rangers baseball game last week.
Much like the Carpet Pisser in The Big Lebowski, violent gangs of thugs are breaking into South African homes and vandalizing homes, shitting on expensive rugs, and generally being unruly. The only difference between these gangs and the Carpet Pisser and his marmot? This gang is made of baboons.
The small country of Qatar is notorious not for being in Latin America, as 80 percent of the world thinks, but for having more money than Jesus. Qatar is the number one provider of natural gas in the world, meaning that every time you turn on your stove, a sheik lights a cigarette with a Chinese orphan, just because they "burn so cleanly."
Senator Lloyd Bentsen was an old school Democrat of the highest order. Back when they did not complain; they fixed. He passed away this morning at the age of 85 in Houston, Texas.
A drunken Lithuanian truck driver was pulled over for driving his rig down the center of a highway Tuesday morning. The truck driver registered such a high amount of alcohol in his blood that the police believed their equipment was malfunctioning.
