Bad bands and broken bones
- First the Governor’s Mansion burns down and now this. …
Rick Perry breaks his collarbone Tuesday evening in a mountain biking accident near his home. He also sustained a minor abrasion on his right elbow.
- Bad name for a band
There’s a Florida band named “This Bike is a Pipe Bomb.” Do not attach their bumper stickers to your bicycle.
Last month in Memphis an airport terminal was shut down when such a bicycle was spotted near a passenger ramp.
A pilot saw the bike with the sticker and notified police, who evacuated the terminal. Bomb-sniffing dogs were called in, but did not detect any explosives.
Airport police took the bike owner into custody, but later released him because they didn’t have grounds to make an arrest.

I can tell you from experience that he won’t be gesturing like that for a while.
