Shit-stirrer Sheriff Arpaio is at it again - Obama Birth Certificate 'Definitely Fraudulent'

US President Barack Obama.
The long-form birth certificate released by the White House in April 2011 is fraudulent, claim investigators acting as a posse for Arizona's Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

The posse had earlier said the certificate may have been a computer-generated forgery, but now they say they are positive that the document is a fake.

Mike Zullo, the posse's chief investigator, said numeric codes on certain parts of the birth certificate indicate that those parts were not filled out. He added that those sections asking for the race of Obama's father and his field of work or study were completed.

Zullo said investigators previously did not know the meaning of the codes, but they were explained by a 95-year-old former state worker who signed the president's birth certificate.

So-called "birthers" believe that President Barack Obama is not eligible to hold America's highest office because he was allegedly born in Kenya, not Hawaii, and thus is not a natural US citizen.

Comment: The birth cert issue is obviously a distraction from the real reason why Obama isn't fit to rule: he's a psychopath.

A 6-foot monitor lizard, similar to the one pictured here, is on the loose in Colorado.
Denver - A sheriff has warned residents in a tourist town northwest of Colorado Springs that a strong, aggressive 6-foot lizard that eats small animals - including dogs and cats - is on the loose in the area.

Teller County Sheriff Mike Ensinger said Tuesday that a 25-pound pet Nile monitor lizard has gone missing after breaking a mesh leash and crawling away.

Ensinger said about 400 homes in the Woodland Park area were warned. He added that the animal, which escaped Monday and is known as Dino, has not bitten any humans - yet.

"We have a 6-foot reptile out and about," Ensinger said. "If it gets hungry enough, we don't know what it will do."

Ensinger said his animal control division is searching for the animal.

At least two carriages derailed, but officials said nobody was killed
A train has derailed south of Egypt's capital Cairo, injuring at least 15 passengers, officials have said.

There are differing reports on what caused the crash, and on the number of people hurt.

One passenger told BBC Arabic in Cairo that some people had been killed, although a health ministry spokesman said no-one had died.

The train was heading into Cairo from the province of Suhag when it came off the line in the Badrashin area of Giza.

"Three wagons of train number 990 came off the tracks without any loss of life," Kamal el-Daly, head of Giza police investigations department, told Reuters news agency.

German Circumcision Ban Incites New Religious Controversy in Europe

A German court set off religious controversy late last week with its ruling that the circumcision of young boys on religious grounds is illegal. Some commentators categorize the ban as just one of many legislative restrictions on religious minorities in Germany, and as part of growing religious intolerance in Europe.

Reuters reports that the Cologne court took action after police were alerted by a doctor who treated the 4-year-old son of first-generation Turkish immigrants Muhsin Sapci and his wife, Gonca, for bleeding after the boy underwent circumcision. A prosecutor sued the doctor in court.

The court ruled that the removal of the boy's foreskin amounted to bodily harm and involved intolerable health risks. The Economist writes that circumcision was deemed to violate Germany's constitutional protection of individuals' physical integrity - religious freedom and parents' rights came second - and thus should be considered a crime. The court further suggested waiting until the age of 14 so boys themselves could decide whether to be circumcised.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel intervened over the court's decision last Friday by promising the Muslim and Jewish communities that they are free to circumcise their children. Meanwhile, the Guardian writes that the government is urgently looking for a way around the ban.

Police Taze Florida Man Three Times During Arrest for Jaywalking

A lot of people will say that jaywalking shouldn't be an arrestable offense - and neither should refusing to produce an ID for the police. But does either charge warrant being repeatedly fired at with a Taser? Cops in Florida say so.

Zikomo Peurifoy, 25, was Tased three times, handcuffed and arrested by police officers in Casselberry, Florida recently after he refused to provide law enforcement with photo identification after allegedly jaywalking across the street. The entire incident - at around ten minutes long - has been published on the Web. And while critics are charging that Casselberry cops used excessive force in apprehending a single suspect over not crossing at the corner, the city's police department is insisting that their officers handled the situation entirely by the books.

The husband, who is not being named by the Mail Online, allegedly used Craigslist to arrange the sexual assault of his wife
US, Idaho - A woman suffered repeated attempted sexual assaults, after her husband posted a Craigslist ad pretending to be her and asking to be raped.

At least two men powered their way into the woman's Twin Cities, Idaho home on separate occasions with the intention of forcing her to have sex with them.

The first incident happened on Thursday just after midnight.

A man she did not know arrived at her home and told her: 'I'm here for you' and pushed his way inside, local news outlet Magic Valley reported.

He chased her through the house as she ran, terrified, to where she kept a 9mm handgun which he grabbed from her, firing shots that ricocheted around the room.

They struggled and the woman's hand was slashed as she fought him off.

At that point the man fled and the woman called the police.

The intruder was described as being about 5'10" with a medium build and short black hair; both arms covered in tattoos.

Two days later, at around 3.45pm on Saturday, a second man broke in and police arrived to find the woman holding him at gunpoint in the living room.

He was arrested over the break-in and told police in an interview that he was responding to a 'casual encounters' ad on Craigslist, supposedly posted by the victim.

A SkyWest Airlines plane sits on the runway at St. George Municipal Airport in Utah, after an airline employee attempted to steal it, Tuesday, July 17, 2012.
An airline captain who entered a small Utah airport early this morning and damaged a SkyWest Airlines jetliner, a terminal building and some parked vehicles had been sought by authorities in the death of his girlfriend.

Brian Joseph Hedglin, 40, of Colorado Springs, Colo., fatally shot himself while aboard the SkyWest aircraft, the St. George, Utah, Police Department said on its Facebook page today.

SkyWest confirmed today that the suspect had been an employee of the company but was on administrative leave.

A Federal Aviation Agency database confirmed that Hedglin was certified to fly commercially as a captain.

Hedglin drove his motorcycle to St. George Municipal Airport, hopped a fence at 12:30 a.m. M.T. and then boarded the SkyWest aircraft, according to authorities.

A source with the airline told ABC News that after starting the engines of a 50-seat regional jetliner, Hedglin clipped the wing of another aircraft and crashed through a fence as he taxied the plane. It wasn't clear whether the plane ever got off the ground.
