Definitely NOT Employee of the Month!
Former CBS anchor, Larry Mente, was charged with snooping on his colleague, co-anchor Alycia Lane of CBS-3 (KYW) Philadelphia affiliate. Mendte is being charged with a felony in a computer tampering investigation of Lane. He illegally accessed Lane's personal computer more than 500 times starting in March 2006 and printed and shared some of the emails with other sources, including attorneys prosecuting Lane for assaulting a police officer.
Mendte was indicted in May and was officially charged with a felony today. He is expected to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney's office and and will turn himself in.
Geesh! And you thought you worked with some bad apples? I guess the moral of this story is to ask before you snoop.

Florida Officer Fired for Demanding Free Coffee
According to the Associated Press, an internal affairs report says a Daytona Beach [Florida] police officer demanded free coffee and tea from a Starbucks and threatened employees with slower emergency response times if they refused.
Lt. Major Garvin, a 15-year veteran, was fired July 8. According to the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Chief Mike Chitwood says Garvin recently failed a polygraph test that he insisted on taking.
The coffeehouse's employees claim that since June 2007, Garvin had visited the store as many as six times a night while on duty. Besides demanding free drinks, workers complained that
Garvin also cut in front of paying customers.
A telephone listing for Garvin could not be found
I guess he wanted FREE coffee to help wash down all those doughnuts. It's a good thing that a liquor store wasn't on his route, he probably would have demanded free booze.
Another dirty cop off the streets.

What the Eff?
Gay Man Sues Bible Publishers
In another frivolous lawsuit filed in a U.S. court, a gay man from Canton, Michigan is suing popular Christian publishers Zondervan and Thomas Nelson Publishing for $70 million. He claims that the publishers are violating his constitutional rights and causing emotional pain, because the Bible versions they publish refer to homosexuality as a sin.
Folks, I didn't make this up. Read the article.
