"The city's refusal to let homeless residents occupy temporary housing provided by FEMA has sparked outrage in this central Alabama town of 2,000, with angry citizens filling a meeting last week and circulating petitions to remove the man many blame for the decision, Mayor Jack Scott Scott has heard all the complaints, and he isn't apologizing.

He had completely proven that his car could run on 100% water in 1983 and yet we do not see any of his work on the road today. The other two inventors silently went off the grid. Without a doubt "Big Oil" and the government is behind this."

In other Scientology news, this ebay auction is probably giving Miscavige fits right now.

"A Polk County sheriff's deputy filmed herself strapping naked children to a desk and spanking them with sex toys, then sent the videos to a boyfriend she met on a fetish website"

"Community members had accused him of talking to animals and using an invisible penis to sleep with women in the informal settlement. They also accused his wife of turning into a snail and terrorising the community."
