FORT PIERCE — Two women cruised around a Wal-Mart Supercenter, downing chicken wings, potato wedges and blue cheese, police said.
A store security worker on Wednesday told police he watched the ladies, later identified as Vennetha Bower, 20, and 18-year-old Sybil Horne, walk from the deli with two containers of wings worth $5.18, a $1.64 bag of potato wedges and blue cheese valued at 50 cents, according to a recently released police report.
He followed them around the store in the 5100 block of Okeechobee Road as they munched before Horne, of Fort Pierce, apparently ditched a container of chicken bones in a women’s restroom. Bower, of Port St. Lucie, dumped the other empty chicken container and the blue cheese and potato packages in the bedding department.
The women’s stomachs apparently continued growling because they consumed a $3.04 pack of “BBQ chicken chunks,” jettisoning the empty container in the jewelry department.
Bower and Horne’s alleged $10.36 criminal culinary adventure ended when the security worker stopped them as they left the store without paying.
Each faces a misdemeanor retail theft charge.

If you were on the fence about canceling your Sirius or XM satellite radio subscription, this may be the final push you need.
As of March 11, 2009 …
- The fee for each extra receiver will increase from $6.99/mo to $8.99/mo.
- The fee to listen to your Sirius or XM subscription through the online Internet radio service will increase from FREE to $2.99/mo.
In a give us buckets of money now lest we rape your wallet later move, customer service representatives for the company are suggesting that customers pre-pay for up to 3 year’s worth of service at the current rates to avoid paying the increased fees.
Right. Give a financially unstable and clandestinely pointless company 3 years worth of subscription fees at once, so after 6 months they can go out of business and do a runner with your cucumbers. Great.

I came across this picture on msnbc.com.
Take a look at our new leaders and their wives. They are, truly, a good-looking bunch of people.
Look at Michelle Obama and Jill Biden. They look so nice and kind, wholesome even. All of them look like the kind of people you’d want to have over for dinner.
These are the types of faces we want representing the USA.
Now, let’s take a look at the previous administration.
There’s Bush, “Dang, man. Why they gotta dang ask me all these dang questions, man? I can’t think of no dang answers this dang fast, man. Err, uh. Yeah, 9/11 was bad and we’re still looking for Obam … Osama Bin … Bin Landerhousen and, uh … the Autoban, er uh, Telebam and Al-Clay-Dia. ”
And Laura giving her warm Texas welcome to a group of foreign dignitaries, no doubt.
And Old Boy Dick, “All I freakin’ asked for was a freakin’ rotating chair, not one that’s possessed by the freakin’ Devil.”
And finally, Lynne Cheney. “Thank you. That will be all.”
Who else is glad today is January, 21 2009? I’ve looked forward to this day for the past 8 years.
