Tacos, tigers and tallies

Yo quiero bail bondsman: A man who allegedly tried to flee sheriff’s deputies while in line at a Taco Bell has learned valuable lessons.

Aside from doing as the cops tell him, and not trying to run, next time he’ll remember not to ask for extra Fire Border Sauce for his Gordita.

Good kitty, nice kitty: The career of former animal trainers and Vegas entertainers Seigfried and Roy has been on hiatus since the 2003 attack on Roy by a white tiger. The pair have defended the tiger, claiming it sensed Roy was having a stroke and was attempting to save him — by sinking its teeth into his neck and dragging Roy off the stage.

Should you ever suffer a stroke, pray that something else other than a white tiger has emergency medical training.

Good Esser, nice Esser: Not content with challenging the Democrats on election results, Republicans are now contesting the GOP’s own elections, specifically the state caucus results that gave a win to John McCain and not Mike Huckabee (above).

Sensing Huckabee would lose the caucus, state GOP chairman Luke Esser sank his teeth into Huckabee’s neck and dragged him to safety.
