Sunglass-Clad Teen Girls Rob Bank of America Branch in Georgia

Two females who police said might be as young as 16 were clad in sunglasses as they handed a bank teller a note demanding cash, smiled as they waited and walked out with an undisclosed amount of money Tuesday, police said.

"This is something totally new to us," Cobb County police spokesman officer Wayne Delk said of the robbery at a Bank of America branch inside a grocery store.

They were just trying to get a couple of those free credit cards they heard about on the news…

Too bad they forgot they needed to be illegal aliens to get them.

The new Bank of America program is open to people who lack both a Social Security number and a credit history, as long as they have held a checking account with the bank for three months without an overdraft. Most adults in the U.S. who don’t have a Social Security number are undocumented immigrants.

The Charlotte, N.C., banking giant tested the program last year at five branches in Los Angeles, and last week expanded it to 51 branches in Los Angeles County, home to the largest concentration of illegal immigrants in the U.S. The bank hopes to roll out the program nationally later this year.

The weather has been so nice the last few days, we started working on some of our spring projects already.

Here is Flash showing off our new bridge in the backyard. We found places that would build one for $600. We built it ourselves for under $100.

Herman Brix, who parlayed a silver medal for the shot put in the 1928 Olympics into a Hollywood career that included playing Tarzan in a 1935 movie, has died. He was 100.

Brix, who later adopted the stage name Bruce Bennett and appeared as Joan Crawford's husband in "Mildred Pierce" and as an ill-fated gold prospector in "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre," died of complications from a broken hip Saturday at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center, his son Christopher said Tuesday.

…

Christopher Brix said that depending on how someone best knew his father — as an Olympic athlete or as a Hollywood actor — he would be called either Herman Brix or Bruce Bennett.

"He'd answer to either name," Christopher Brix said. "I think he was proud of both."

Jeannette, Brix's wife of 67 years, died in 2000. In addition to his son, he is survived by his daughter, Christina Katich; three grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

Memorial donations may be sent to the Olympic Committee, National Headquarters, 1 Olympic Plaza, Colorado Springs, CO 80909.

Services will be private.

Rest In Peace, Herman.

A small price to pay for being stupid.

A federal judge in Minnesota has sentenced country singer Troy Gentry to three months of probation and fined him $15,000 for killing a captive black bear in a fenced enclosure.

Gentry, of the country music duo Montgomery Gentry, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in November. Under a plea deal, he agreed to forfeit the bear and the bow he used during the hunt. The 600-pound bear has been part of a taxidermy display at Gentry's home in Tennessee.

Gentry also agreed to give up hunting in Minnesota for five years.
