JUST LIKE IN THAT MOVIE, TWILIGHT: “WEST DEPTFORD — A 61-year-old South Jersey man is in custody after being arrested on charges he delivered a fake horse’s head to the Gloucester County office of Senate President Steve Sweeney.” God just CHILL FOR LIKE FIVE DAYS and they’ll fix your stupid property taxes, okay? [Star-Ledger]

Haha, I live here in Gloucester County. Steve Sweeney is an asshole and deserves a fake horse’s head.
So giving someone a lousy present is now grounds for getting arrested. Boy, a lot of my relatives are in REAL trouble.
Would it have been a lessor offense if he had sent a real horse’s head?
I think we’ve figured out who has been sending the upside down faxes.
“The senator doesn’t know him. There was no note. We didn’t feel it was very funny. It was shocking. It shut down our office.”
Just think how they’d feel if someone sent him fake doggie poo. Or fake diarreah. They’d have to like dissolve the whole government!
State Police said Godman was arrested at home, where he lives with his parents. Jones said he will undergo a psychiatric evaluation and will be barred from having contact with Sweeney.
Wow, basement-dwelling teabaggers come in all ages.
GODMAN did it.
Not only do I live a few houses down from Sweeney here in West Deptford, I see him at work at the local convenience store (Wawa) many times during the week. If his treatment of my employees is any indication, maybe this was deserved. It is funny that they seemed to treat the head like a bomb, though.
Godman, aged 61, was arrested at home. WHERE HE LIVES WITH HIS PARENTS.
Guess who won’t be attending the tea party next month?
They’re scared of a 61-year old man, who lives with his parents. Really. And it was a toy horse’s head – not even life size.
I think Coryell is the one who needs to “undergo a psychiatric evaluation”.
I blame his mother. It’s obvious she coddled him. Did his laundry, scrubbed those skid marks out of his fruit-of-the-looms; probably made his bed for him, too. You get the picture.
Godman is just trying to make him an offer he can’t refuse
I thought it must have been a realistic head at least, for the cops to react so strongly; but no, late in the article it reveals that it was just a toy.
“Investigators said they don’t know what the motive was, but it was taken seriously” – no, investigators; taking it seriously would mean ignoring the silly thing. What you were doing is called an extreme overreaction.
That must have been soooooo scary! Sweeney and his employees need to take a month of paid leave to get over it.
[re=501165]pquinn87[/re]: It is funny that they seemed to treat the head like a bomb, though.
Because, seriously, if I were a terrist, that’s the kind of demented shit I’d be doing. What could be cooler than an exploding horse head? That’s just bad-ass. That’s some in-yo-face terrism, Joker-Style.
Eh, Godman is no Rahm Emmanuel.
Just curious. Where would one get a fake horse head? Are there stores in NJ that stock items from the Godfather and the Sopranos for folks who want to live the stereotype?
Next time, go with the anus.
Well, let me tell you something, my kraut-mick friend, I’m gonna make so much trouble for you, you won’t know what hit you!
It’s a good thing that they’ve put a $25,000 bail on the guy; if he was let out of jail, who knows how many toy pieces he might send to people. The police did a great job here; they know they can’t waste time investigating murders, rapes, robberies and other real crimes when there’s a guy out there who might be pulling some dumb little harmless prank.
What crime was committed?
Who knew there was a market for fake horses’ heads? Probably manufactured in China for those same Middle Easterners who sell the fake hymens.
[re=501180]Terry[/re]: Yeah, they’re all down at the Jersey Shore, where all the guidos shop.
I would only be concerned if Godman had poked the toy horse’s eyes out with a hook pick.
[re=501169]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: Jesus. Remind me to only have female children when I reproduce once day.
[re=501187]MMS[/re]: The exercise of free expression. Sad.
I wonder if the baggers who sent bags of salt to Sen Snowe’s office felt a chill in the force this morning.
[re=501187]MMS[/re]: Doing something a high-ranking government official didn’t like.
OT but what’s this shit about it only taking 50 votes to confirm ben bernanke? I swear i am leaving this fucking country as soon as I can…
[re=501195]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Luckily that is easy to arrange. Seriously. Arranging for a boy is much harder.
[re=501192]FMA[/re]:
I’ve been lucky enough to have missed every episode of the Jersey Shore.
OT, but it’s another glorious day of hard-hitting journalism at Slate:

[re=501195]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Yes, the only thing you have to worry about with girls is having one of them becoming horse-head man’s gf.
[re=501165]pquinn87[/re]: My mother is tangentially connected to county politics, and, yes, it was definitely deserved. Also, howdy South Jersey neighbor!
[re=501209]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: something tells me we don’t have to worry about anyone becoming that dude’s gf. unless you count inanimate objects…
[re=501180]Terry[/re]: I was wondering the same thing. I need to pick up a bullet-proof vest and a couple of fake fishes.
[re=501209]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: Baby momma…GF doesn’t even ring the bell after they present with your brand new grandson, Bonehead Nutball Jr.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, ladies. The child is three and can’t seem to understand why crapping your drawers isn’t something all the big boys do. Grandpa is fixing to tell him what happened to his father, Bonehead Nutball Sr and if that doesn’t work, I’ll show him the body.
Ladies, you, and only you, can prevent Bonehead Nutball Jrs.
Think before you screw….
[re=501186]JMP[/re]: I guess now we know what happened to Santa Claus — poor bastard’s languishing in a jail somewhere in Jersey after delivering a broken hobbyhorse to someone who took it the wrong way.
I hope the child who owns the headless horse toy tracks down the crazy old man and busts a cap in his ass.
If a corporation had done this, it would be protected by the Citizens United decision.

Au contraire, mon ami. You obviously haven’t heard about VH1′s newest entry in the bachelor show genre.
VH1 describes “A Basement Affair” as a Flavor of Love-style contest where, “Fifteen beautiful women traveled to New York for Frank, only to find out that they won’t be living in the elaborate mansion they expected – they will be living in Frank’s parents’ house! … The girls will have to compete for Frank’s love [sic], and follow Mom and Dad’s house rules if they want to stay in the house. Each week at elimination, Frank will give the ladies keys to his basement, and those locked out will have to pack up, and move out.” I guess the “lucky winner” will get to take Frank home to live in HER basement.
In the clip I saw, a Kardashian look-alike wearing a tight tank top sat on a cot in the basement with Frank. She explained her balloon-sized rack to him by saying she had to have a cyst removed from one breast because “the doctor said if I didn’t, it would turn into cancer. So I had it [?] removed and replaced with these big ones because, hey, you may as well … (giggle, giggle).”
If this horsehead guy can stay in the news for a week, he’ll probably get HIS own show.
25,000 bail!Is that judge running for supreme court?
[re=501274]Jukesgrrl[/re]: well if it happens on VH1, then it must happen in real life!
But if I recall correctly, people are on that show to get that dude (the entertainer) because he was on a show to get a chick (new york) who was on a show to get flavor flav (william drayton). Sooooo, anyone competing with him will be doing so to get their own show next. It’s called evolution. or something.
Impossible not to imagine Al Pacino as Edward Cullen, & Diane Keaton as Bella, now.
[re=501441]Crank Tango[/re]: Wait, he wasn’t joking? That’s a real show?
