Santa, you better stock up on coal...
So a couple steps outside their apartment building in Elgin and finds a housecat in a cage with food and litter and a note saying the original owner can no longer take care of the cat. The apartment dwellers cannot keep the cat but being good citizens they tried to find a place for it, only to find out Kane County Animal Control, based in Geneva, had told them it didn't have a contract to pick up animals within the city, and Anderson Animal Shelter in South Elgin had said it already had too many cats.
So they do the next best thing and take it to the Elgin police department. Only they ran into Officer Scrooge, who first threatened to arrest them for abandoning an animal, then suggested they take it and abandon it in a rural area. When the couple refused the asshat officer decided to just open the cage and let the frightened kitteh run. The cat has since been found in good condition but what a lesson this couple has learned about trying to do the right thing. The dumbass Elgin police officer will face discipline and I hope Santa skips his house in a couple weeks.

Friday night Fun - BRITISH INVASION - English Beat
We were sitting at work this afternoon thinking, 'what are we gonna play tonight for Friday night Fun?' Then my iPod gave me the answer - BRITISH INVASION! We're kicking things off tonight with ska legends English Beat. This is a great live performance - Whine & Grine (with a very cool arrangement) and Stand Down Margaret. The sax player is no Saxa but he still sounds pretty damn good!
Friday night Fun - BRITISH INVASION - The Housemartins
We're finishing it out tonight with The Housemartins doing 'Happy Hour.' We wanted 'Drop Down Dead' but couldn't find one. I remember the first time I heard Barenaked Ladies - I thought it was the Housemartins. Influence much?
