Hyannis man charged with 9th OUI
HYANNIS - A local man will be arraigned this morning for his ninth charge of operating under the influence of alcohol, police said.
Joseph Hines, 48, of Hinckley Road, will be charged in Barnstable District Court this morning with operating to endanger, driving with a revoked license, driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle and other charges.
At 5:20 p.m. yesterday, Officer Stephen Estey responded to a call about a man who had crashed his black Harley-Davidson into a taxi parked at 9 Otis Road.
A witness told Estey that Hines had been doing a burnout - spinning the tire while holding onto the brakes - when he lost control of the bike. Another witness said that after the crash, Hines dragged the bike behind another house at 16 Otis Road.
That's where Estey found Hines, his helmet and his motorcycle, which had front end damage and scrapes on its side, according to the police report.
The plate on the bike was stolen, Barnstable Police Sgt. Sean Sweeney said, and Hines refused to take a chemical test. He smelled of alcohol and had to be helped to his feet because he was so drunk, according to the report. He had a cut over his left eye and road rash on his elbow but refused medical treatment, Sweeney said. His first drunken driving charge dates back to 1978.

Maybe he felt so bad about crashing his bike he went on a bender behind the house?

I'm just curious where the Republican comment fits in.

The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the mountains of Alaska for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the campground in the Pope mobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods.

A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a "Save the Whales" hat, and a "To Hell with Bush" T-shirt, was screaming while struggling frantically, thrashing around trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10 foot grizzly.

As the Pope watched horrified, a group of Republican loggers came racing up. One quickly fired a .44 magnum into the bear's chest. The other two reached up and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp. Then using long clubs, the three loggers finished off the bear and two of them threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.

As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned them to come over. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he told them. "I heard there was a bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democratic Environmental activists but now I've seen with my own eyes that this is not true."

As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers asked his buddies "Who was that guy?"

"It was the Pope," another replied. "He's in direct contact with heaven and has access to all wisdom."

"Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all wisdom but he sure doesn't know anything about bear hunting! By the way, is the bait holding up, or do we need to go back to Massachusetts and snatch another one?"
