Offbeat: Today’s clown DUI story comes from Wheeling, West Virginia

  • I’m not allowed to drink in costume and I should have never went, because I was too upset.
  • Patricia Ingalls • Who was arrested Friday night for drunken driving while in her clown getup. Ahahahahahahahaha. LOL. Ingalls has been a clown for 17 years and was told never to drink while in costume. And of course, there were kids around. “They were all hanging on me and saying, ‘Don’t take the clown,'” Ingalls recalled. Oh boy. • source

Tech, World: Guatemala arrested someone for posting this Tweet

  • Primera accion real “sacar el pisto de Banrural” quebrar al banco de los corruptos. #escandalogt
  • @jeanfer • Who was arrested for “inciting financial panic.” The banks are at the center of the controversy in the country. Jean Fernandez’ post, by the way, also translates into English: “The first action people should take is to remove cash from Banrural, and break the banks of corrupt people.” • source

World: Burmese gatecrasher John Yettaw appears to be insane

  • You can’t raise your voice. You cannot touch him without startling him. I lived with the man. Yes, he has it. He also has bipolar but I don’t believe he has been diagnosed with that. I would call him that.
  • Yvonne Yettaw • Whose ex-husband John recently started some drama with a Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, and got her in trouble. Granted, there is a degree of “I hate my ex-husband SO MUCH” in there, but she did live with the guy, so she knows better than most. • source

  • Iranian journalist Roxana Saberi • In short remarks after getting released yesterday. Saberi could have faced eight years in jail on espionage charges in Iran but instead got out after about a month. Let’s hope she enjoys going home to the U.S. • source

Music: Pinch Me: Steven Page leaves Barenaked Ladies? Say it ain’t so!

  • These guys are my brothers. We’ve grown up together over the past twenty years. I love them and wish them all the best in the future.
  • Steven Page • In a note on the band’s Web site. Page will go solo, and the rest of the band will continue as a quartet. Page has had some personal drama lately, including an arrest and plea deal on cocaine charges – just before the band was going on tour to support a kids’ album. Oof. We admit, this is near and dear to our hearts because BNL was one of our favorite bands in high school. Sigh. Our cred’s gone. • source
