(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Last week Google brought in a herd of goats to mow the grass on its Mountain View, Calif. headquarters rather than using lawnmowers.

The company said that it wanted to take a more “low-carbon” approach with the goats reducing the company’s contribution to air and noise pollution. The cost of hiring the 200-some goats is about the same price as mowing, but the goats were “a lot cuter to watch.”

This is the kind of win we expect from Google. Nice work as usual, guys.

Students and faculty gathered around the flagpole in front of Fruita Monument High School Thursday morning wondering in awe just how senior pranksters welded an old Eagle hatchback around the flagpole without causing any damage to school property.

The real win here is the fact that these guys thought this through enough to have a defensible position that they didn’t damage anything, since the car isn’t touching the flagpole. The school says as long as they help clean it up after school lets out for the summer they’re good. Alex Almy and Jesse Poe, today you guys are winners.

The Supreme Court today sharply limited the power of police to search a suspect’s car after making an arrest, acknowledging that the decision changes a rule that law enforcement has relied on for nearly 30 years.

That’s right, boys and girls…for the first time in a long, long while you’ll have more civil rights when you go to sleep tonight than you had when you got up this morning. I’ve always believed that police had too much power to search vehicles, and it seems the Supreme Court agrees.

While there’s a valid point that cops will have to deal with more uncertainty regarding traffic stops and arrests (and putting lives in danger is not something I generally support), any swing back toward civil rights is a positive step for our society.

Until this ruling police basically had carte blanche to search a vehicle when any passenger was arrested for anything, then potentially charge everyone in the vehicle for any contraband found within. Sounds pretty bogus when you put it that way…a driver with an ounce of coke in the console can get (and has gotten) everyone in the vehicle charged with possession.

It’s a good day for civil liberties.

APPLETON, WI — A Grand Chute woman who chased a burglar and bit his hand got a big enough piece of him to provide a DNA match that led to his arrest, authorities say.

This lady should get a medal. It’s nice to have someone go all “Your dumb ass broke in my house?” on some idiot criminal once in a while.

LAWRENCE, NH — Four School Committee members overruled Superintendent Wilfredo Laboy’s decision not to allow performances of “The Vagina Monologues” at South Lawrence East School.

I love to see this kind of story. School wants to have performances of “The Vagina Monologues” to raise money for domestic violence prevention. Prude parents call and complain, likely while waving Bibles and having no understanding of what the play is actually about. Superintendent caves to prudes, and gets overruled by the school board. Sensible people throughout New Hampshire rejoice.

Thank you Lawrence, New Hampshire schools for showing some sense and some backbone. Today you are all winners.

UPDATE:

A stage production in Kyrgyzstan hopes to serve as a watershed moment in a nascent Central Asian women’s rights movement.

The production in question is The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler, an episodic play based on interviews with over 200 women relating how they view their bodies, sexual experiences, sexual abuse and sexual violence. An English-language version of the show made its debut in late March in Bishkek. On April 11, the show opened its Russian-language version…”Kyrgyzstan, like many other Central Asian countries, is a very masculine and patriarchal society where women, youth, children and LGBT people are often repressed and invisible when it comes to their voices, rights and lives,”

It seems “The Vagina Monologues” is currently being performed in Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan. It’s amazing to me that a school district in New Hampshire was narrowly snatched back from the jaws of being less progressive than Kyrgyzstan. Wouldn’t that have been priceless?

One can only imagine how this guy convinced his wife he ‘just had to’ go next door and fuck the beauty queen for six months. And get paid for it. Of course, at a rate of $2500 for 72 lays, he really only got paid $34.72 for each round. To go next door and fuck the beauty queen. Frank Maus, I don’t know what your everyday life is like, but today you are a winner.

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho (CBS) ―A northern Idaho woman says she has a problem pet. She says her one-year-old cat is burglarizing neighbor’s clothing…Hats, shorts, underwear and 27 pairs of gloves are among the personal items Jack has nabbed.

This cat is actually pretty impressive. 27 pairs of gloves. He took them both like any self respecting thief. This lady doesn’t need to be ashamed of this cat…she needs an apartment above a jewelry store. This win’s for you, Jack.

HAMILTON — Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones supports legislation being drafted by state Rep. Courtney Combs to ban the use of cameras for enforcement at traffic lights in Ohio.

“I am not against enforcing the traffic laws. I am against the cities in Ohio using camera technology to ticket individuals for traffic violations simply to boost their budgets,” Jones said in a statement released Monday, April 6. “These cameras take a picture of your vehicle and license plate as you pass through the intersection. If the photo shows you have violated a traffic law – running the red light – a ticket is mailed to your home. We already have enough invasion of our privacy.”

That’s the whole article. Someone buy this man a donut. Hell, let’s buy him a donut shop. Let’s get more like this one before they catch on. This wacko has probably even read the Constitution and everything. Thank you Sheriff Win.
