for all the porn-peddling perverts in Johnson County have been tarred, feathered, and indicted:
A grand jury has accused three Johnson County businesses of promoting obscenity, according to indictments handed down late Tuesday.
Even though the grand jury was convened in Johnson County District Court to investigate obscenity, the latest indictments are the first that actually deal with the subject.
Each of the three businesses was indicted on multiple counts, all misdemeanors.
According to court documents:
• Spirit Halloween, 6824 W. 119th St. in Overland Park, displayed adult costumes where minors could view them.
• Hollywood at Home, 9063 Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park, “unlawfully and knowingly or recklessly” possessed and intended to sell obscene DVDs.
• Priscilla’s, 1848 East Santa Fe St. in Olathe, possessed and intended to sell various obscene devices and an obscene DVD.
The indictments are based on findings from Aug. 22 to Sept. 17.
Employees at each business declined to comment on the indictments Tuesday night.
Which apparently makes the Kansas City Star so giddy that they just had to send me an email alert with all the latest:

Oy.
In other mind-boggling news, atheists are just like Klansmen! Guess I’d better go shave my head, then.
I haven’t been keeping abreast of the news like I should lately, but I still check my email like an obsessive fiend. Via People for the American Way’s Right Wing Watch, I see that windbag Prager isn’t the only godidiot who endorses a religious litmus test for elected Congresspeople.
After Keith Ellison was elected the first Muslim member of Congress last month, talk show host Dennis Prager, among others, attacked the Representative-elect for indicating that he would swear his oath of office with his hand placed on a copy of the Qur’an. Now, former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice and regular WorldNetDaily columnist Roy Moore has decided that regardless of how they are sworn in faithful Muslims are not fit to serve in Congress.
Citing the recent actions of the rebel government of Somalia and the public statements of the founder of a “radical Islamic school,” Moore argues that the Islamic faith “rejects our God” and is “simply incompatible with our law.”
The nation’s Roman Catholic bishops adopted new guidelines for gay outreach Tuesday that are meant to be welcoming, while also telling gays to be celibate since the church considers their sexuality “disordered.”
In other words, come and gawd-bag with us, brother, and do be sure to tithe at least 10% (because, let’s be honest, you interior designers sure are paid well, and it’s not like you’ll ever have a quiver full of yung ‘uns to support anywho), just don’t look at me funny, or else I’ll have to throttle you like some Peruvian mistress.

Get a grip, fundies.
Before you sing the Praises of Jeebus ™, remember that, for every one of these:
A 54-year-old man says two little bibles he was carrying in his shirt pocket saved his life. Bill Henry of Orange Park was taking out the garbage at his workplace when he was shot by assailants, and the bibles prevented a bullet from penetrating his chest.
Henry tells First Coast News, “They stepped out from behind the dumpster, one shooter and one other man behind him. I dropped my bags; they fired twice.”
At first he thought the bullets had missed him, but he found that both actually had come into contact with him: one went right through his hat, and the other hit him square on the chest.
Henry says that later, “We got to looking and that’s when we noticed the two bibles in my shirt pocket were hit with a single round.”
Henry says he doesn’t usually carry around bibles. He happened to have them on him because he was returning them to a friend.
“It know it was divine protection, can’t think of any other reason for it,” Henry says.
A woman who was bitten by a snake at a church that neighbors say practices serpent handling died of her wounds hours later, a newspaper reported.
Linda Long, 48, was bitten Sunday at East London Holiness Church, where neighbors said the reptiles are handled as part of religious services, The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Tuesday.
Long died at University of Kentucky Medical Center about four hours after being bitten, authorities told the newspaper.
Note to spoiled American Christian crybabies who whine about the “subtle” persecution they suffer at the paws of liberal secular heathen meanies: this is what real religious discrimination looks like.
Photojournalist Gabriele Torsello was seized last week while travelling on a bus in southern Afghanistan.
The kidnappers will free Mr. Torsello, a Muslim convert, if Abdul Rahman returns from Italy where he was granted asylum earlier this year, the aid agency says.
Mr. Rahman had escaped a possible death sentence for becoming a Christian.
He had been charged with rejecting Islam and released this March after being deemed mentally unfit to stand trial on a charge of apostasy.
