Delusions On A Double Dimwit At The Donuteria – February 8, 2011
• Friday, December 17 6:54 p.m. Teetering on the knife-edge of moral ambivalence, a tall. hooded figure stood at Samoa Boulevard and H Street with a pair of shoes in his hand, their laces tied together. His gaze drifted from the power lines above to the two goons on the sidewalk nearby, who were exhausting their vocabulary hooting and gibbering for the shoe-bearer to fling the footwear over the wires for comic effect. The crew had scampered away when police arrived, but an on-site Eye investigation revealed a set of sneakers dangling from the wires at the site (see photo). It is not known whether these are the shoes in question, however, as they’re way too high to dust for stupid.
7:01 p.m. A lady incinerating dinner in the 200 block of Seventh Street called police about a kitchen fire, but the blaze was confined on one pan which made an incredible amount of smoke. It was placed outside.

• Tuesday, December 21 12:19 a.m.
A Western Ave. caller was glum
From excessive rum-pa-pum-pum
A tuba, blown hard
In a neighboring yard
At this hour, that seems kinda dumb
8:48 a.m. Unknown asswipe enthusiasts deployed rolls of their favorite stationery all over a house and grounds on 10th Street, again.

Besmirching the Plaza’s west bower
A surge of profane bongo power
Police scoured the square
Found it empty of blare
For his part, McKinley just glowered
