This is a weird fuckin' state.
TUESDAY:
Last night, Paul MacLeod, owner of Graceland Too, which roadsideamerica.com calls "a manic floor-to-ceiling (including the ceiling) tribute to The King", shot and killed a man, 28 year old Dwight David Taylor.
MacLeod, famous for claiming to drink at least 24 cans of Coca Cola a day and seldom sleeping, answered the door to his 24-7, 365 days-a-year house-turned-Elvis museum (which you can tour for a mere $5) to find Taylor. Evening visitors are nothing new for MacLeod. Graceland Too is locally famous as a late night destination for local college students looking for kicks or an injection of kitsch to help drive a buzz.
Taylor asked for money. MacLeod say no. Then Taylor wedged his foot into the door jam of the front door of the shrine as MacLeod tried to close it. When Taylor began to force the door open, MacLeod shot him once in the chest with his .45 caliber handgun.
Taylor was pronounced dead at 10:41 PM, shortly after police responded to a 911 call, his body just inside the doorway to MacLeod's home.
MacLeod was questioned by police and released. No charges are expected.
THURSDAY:
HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss. (WTVA) — The owner of Graceland Too is dead.
Marshall County Coroner James Anderson confirmed the death of 71-year-old Paul McLeod.
His death comes two days after Dwight David Taylor Jr., 28, was shot and killed at the attraction.

Arkansas courthouse shut down by fleas reopens
ASHDOWN, Ark. (AP) - A Southwest Arkansas courthouse has reopened after it was closed for flea fumigation.
Little River County officials closed the historic county courthouse on Friday and employees got a half day off with pay.
County Judge Clayton Castleman tells the Texarkana Gazette (http://bit.ly/1t213wu ) that the courthouse was besieged by fleas for weeks. He worries that squirrels roaming the courthouse lawn and trees have been transporting the pests.
Castleman says employees have been going home with welts and that six previous attempts to spray the building were unsuccessful.
He says the fumigation was needed to break the cycle of fleas hatching in the courthouse.
The more than 100-year-old building reopened Monday and employees have reported being flea-free.

The website now redirects to galt.io, a “members-only network of makers inspired by ‘Galt’s Gulch’ from Ayn Rand’s classic novel ‘Atlas Shrugged,’” according to the site. (You can see his old radio show site by clicking here.)
The details for non-members are a bit vague, but earlier this year the Business Journal did a small write-up on the “Libertarian tech start-up,” which raised more than $590,000 through a crowdfunding campaign.
“Galt.io is developing an online network that lets members create a ’cause,’ such as fighting alcohol regulation or public funding for the Minnesota Vikings stadium, and gain backing for that cause in the form of virtual currency called Galtcoins,” the Business Journal says.

I was talking about liquor laws earlier this week and realized I have only lived in states with very lax ones; Minnesota's sounded crazy to me so dry counties are sort of hard to comprehend.

Back to the booze:

http://assets.inarkansas.com/51223/arkansas-map-wet-dry-counties-liquor-laws-379.jpg
There have been all of these legal fights over the past 75 years from county to county, trying to go wet or stay dry. About every three years or so, one of the counties will finally go wet while the other ones fight it out. Each case usually has the preachers and the liquor stores located in the adjacent wet county taking the same side to keep the dry county dry.
But now - It's going to be a statewide yes or no deal. The majority of the population, who also live in wet counties, will decide the fate of all those backwards dry counties.
To which I can only add:
