Excitement in the Hachie

Forgive the dual blog posting, but it is not often a celebrity personality has a brush with the law in Waxahachie. It appears that the Rev. Al Sharpton’s driver was driving a tad bit too fast on I-35E last Sunday afternoon. According to the Daily Light, “too fast” is defined as 110 mph. Yep, that is too fast.

According to Mr. Sharpton, the story is a fabrication and an outgrowth of Texas politics. Not sure I buy that explanation; can’t I get someone in the Ellis County DA’s office to fill me in on the “rest of the story”?

You can check out the story for yourself on the Daily Light website: http://www.waxahachiedailylight.com/articles/2005/08/30/dailylight/news/02%208_31%20sharpton2.txt. Any driver worth his or her salt knows that you can’t speed through Hill and Ellis Counties….you’ll be stopped for sure!

And yes, we do read the on-line version of the WDL every day from Germany...
