On a Lighter - Certainly Bleached Blonder - Note (Or Two)

Note to folks still so outraged about the arrest of Duane "The Dog" Chapman, the bounty hunter:

Chapman was not arrested because - at least this last time - he caught the Revlon heir Andrew Luster. He was arrested because he posted bond in Mexico when he was arrested for "kidnapping" and then failed to return to Mexico for his court appearance.

Mr. Chapman, I hear, should know the drill since he collects big bucks and much fame for "catching" bond jumpers here in the U.S. - fame he really didn't have much before he "caught" the Luster case. Chapman went to Mexico knowing that he had no authority to "take" someone in Mexico.

You can rail that it's wrong, but Chapman above all knows the risk for jumping bond and failing to appear.
