An Athens Georgia store was robbed by a man that got away with some loot. Fortunately for authorities, this man had completed a job application just prior to robbing the store. And yes, he did use his real name.
Demetrius Robinson, age 28, apparently completed the job application as he waited for the store to clear out some customers. Although he did provide his real name on the employment application, he used his Uncle’s telephone number and a fake address. It took authorities a few days to track this dumb criminal down.
Police believe Demetrius Robinson may be connected to other area armed robberies.

The restaurants specialty? Bison Burgers. Let’s hope that Ted does not get any ideas to serve human burgers 30-40 years down the road.
According to reports, Mr. Turner indicated that Iraq insurgents are nothing more then patriots - defending their homeland against the US occupation. Mr. Turner also indicated that our military budget is too high, surpassing the military budgets of 190 nations combined. He indicated China does not want to invade us, that they “just want to sell us shoes.”
