A cop’s take on the news
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Drama is alive and well. Here are some recent headlines…
Police shut down Canton clinic run by fake doctors.
Arrested were Miguel Valez and Raul Valez for running a medical clinic even though they had no medical training or had spent any time at a Holiday Inn Express.
One sibling posed as a doctor and even performed surgeries. The other, according to police, filled prescriptions. Cops began to get complaints from patients who said the doctors didn’t seem to know much about illnesses for several reasons among them the fact nobody ever got better. Detectives said they suspected the prescriptions were fake because you could actually read them.
Kesting denies visiting voodoo priestess
Cobb Commissioner Annette Kesting was accused by a woman in South Carolina of writing two checks, totaling $3,000, that were returned for insufficient funds, in an attempt of securing some voodoo mojo stuff against Woody Thompson, who beat Kesting in the Disctrict 4 runoff.
According to George Ann Mills, voodoo priestess, Kesting gave her a photo of Thompson and asked if Mills could give him cancer or send him off to a car accident. Mills reportedly refused saying she didn’t want Thompson’s blood on her hands but did offer to make trouble for him to make people see who he really was. Kesting denies all this but Mills seemed to know a lot and have a lot of info such as her cell phone number and a Moneygram number she said Kesting sent to cover part of the amount of the checks.
Kesting and her lawyer said she never spoke to her or anyone else in South Carolina. Whether or not you believe in voodoo, this related story is interesting:
Annette Kesting called a press conference and announced that when she awoke this morning she discovered she had been turned into a Four-Toed Hedgehog.
The Holy Hook Up
Bishop Thomas Weeks is going ahead with plans for his reality show “The Holy Hook Up: Who Will Be the Next Mrs. Weeks.” The show will document his search for a new love as he performs his daily duties as leader of an international ministry. Critics lauded the show as “This year’s best new comedy.” Weeks commented: “Seriously—it’s not a comedy.”
David Duchovny checks out of sex addiction rehab
Actor David Duchovny apparently is all better after checking himself into a clinic because of his addition to sex. Says lawyer Stanton Stein: “David has successfully completed his rehabilitation and is out of rehab and will be starting a movie soon.” Inside sources said Duchovny now has “absolutely no interest in sex” after watching previews of “Holy Hook Up.”
