An obnoxious Portland street preacher is sentenced to five years for raping a 13-year-old girl, once again proving that people who scream about the wrath of God are full of crap.

Oregon shrimpers become the first shrimpers in the world to receive a sustainability stamp of approval, but strangely the shrimp remain unimpressed.

The Yellow Sea is turning more of a greasy black after an oil spill off the coast of South Korea.

Five years?

Was he convicted of a firm, but gentle rape? Did he take her out to dinner afterwards? Was she like "No, don't kill him, just give him enough time to read some books and pump some iron?"

Jesus fucking Christ! Is that the going rate for raping 13 year olds now? Wow.

A 2003 feature about Howe in the campus newspaper at Multnomah Bible College and Biblical Seminary reported that people booed him as he shouted his message across Pioneer Courthouse Square. "You're an idiot. Shut up!" and "You probably molest children!" the crowd shouted back.

Man, crazy how random people shouting random insults at this guy ended up being dead-on with that one accusation.
