cocaine-jesus-statue.jpgJesus, as in the son of God, not my primo in the Bronx, was caught wearing cocaine in Laredo, Texas. Allow me to clarify, a statue of Jesus was confiscated in Laredo, Texas, after it was discovered that the statue was made of cocaine. I couldn’t make this up if I tried.

Drug traffickers mixed as much as six pounds of the illicit white powder into a paste and used it to make a regal statue of the Christian savior, complete with painted-on flowing hair and a gold cape.
Smugglers were likely hoping the statue, which could be worth as much as $30,000 on the streets, would be dismissed by border guards as just another of the hundreds of plaster representations hawked to borderland tourists.

That santo would have brought a whole new meaning to communion with God.

How did I miss this last night? I was so tired watching the coverage. Now if anyone asked to me my boo in that tone, I’d have to say no.

Good morning. While you were sleeping, the last two Democratic primaries in the U.S. went down last night. Barack Obama won Montana and Hillary Clinton won South Dakota. Barack Obama scored enough delegates to become the Democratic nominee. John McCain said that primary season was over and that Barack Obama was the nominee. Hillary Clinton made a speech that didn’t say that Barack Obama was the nominee and almost sounded like she was still running for president.
