Excerpt:

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) — A bullet fired in the air during a Ku Klux Klan initiation ceremony came down and struck a participant in the head, critically injuring him, authorities said.

Gregory Allen Freeman, 45, was charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment in the Saturday night incident that wounded Jeffery S. Murr, 24.

About 10 people, including two children, had gathered for the ceremony. The man who was being initiated was blindfolded, tied with a noose to a tree and shot with paintball guns as Freeman fired a pistol in the air to provide the sound of real gunfire, Sheriff Fred Phillips said.

A bullet struck Murr on the top of the head and exited at the bottom of his skull, authorities said.

10. Boy I want to be Christian about this

I'm not doing a very good job. I think I will let the Daily Show make my comments for me.

I will say that my granddad told me that Kluckers all had holes in their heads. He was only too right.

Four more years of Bush and his Repuke congress and we'll have segregation back in the sunny South again, just like the fools have always wanted it to be.
