It contained grammatical errors, was not typed on letterhead and was faxed from a local grocery store. The fax falsely claimed that the Kentucky Supreme Court "demanded" Rouse be released.
It seems at the Kentucky Correctional Facility and Psychiatric Institute the inmates are running the asylum...

As long as you're not making fun of Dobie Gillis, OK.

Kind of OT but this may be one of the great advertising tie in's of all time. I taped the History Channel's program "Sherman's March" last night and was watching it today during my lunch break. The show cut to a commercial where wth video was that of a well known brand of automobile. The announcer's voice over was: "Sherman's March is brought to you in part by Lincoln."

"He added that misspellings on orders are common."
I want to make a joke about this, but the fact is, it's too sad to do so. If you can't trust your court orders to be spelled correctly, who can you trust?

Oh, we're making fun of the name of the town? I thought we were making fun of the guy in the story named "Rick Major" - I bet he's glad his parents decided on "Rick" instead of, well, you know.

Well, I hope so Annie, but remember - only one fax per visit.
