Commentary, sarcasm and snide remarks from a Florida resident of over thirty years. Being a glutton for punishment is a requirement for residency here. Who am I? I've been called a moonbat by Michelle Malkin, a Right Wing Nut by Daily Kos, and middle of the road by Florida blog State of Sunshine. Tell me what you think.

The Knucklehead of the Day award

Today's winner a 24-year-old Minnesota man named Willie Nelson. Earlier this week he tried to burglarize a Minneapolis store. Instead he fell through the roof. May I suggest a new line of work Mr. Nelson? As soon as you get out of jail that is.

MINNEAPOLIS - A man's attempt to steal from a SuperAmerica store in downtown Minneapolis this week fell through. Literally. The burglar plunged through the false ceiling of the store early Wednesday morning, startling an employee who was cleaning up. The burglar then tried to climb back out.

Instead, he got tangled in some wires. That's how the police found him.

"When the police come in, he's dangling from the ceiling," said Lt. Michael Kjos. "He might not have been thinking real clearly at the time."

The 24-year-old man told police he was hungry.

Willie Nelson was charged with third-degree attempted burglary. He was released pending his next court appearance, scheduled for July 14.

According to the criminal complaint, a guard claimed to see Nelson pound on the front door of the store after closing time.

Somehow, Nelson later got onto the roof of the store. When the employee saw a foot burst through the ceiling tiles, the employee ran outside and hailed a passing police car.
