And the Award for Worst Excuse Ever ... of All Time! goes to ....

Minnesota Republican lawmaker Tom Hackbarth, who when confronted by the police when a security guard saw him armed, lurking in-front of a planned parenthood clinic in St. Paul Minnesota, stated that there was just a big misunderstanding, he didn't even know that the parking-lot he'd parked at belonged to the planned parenthood clinic, he was instead looking for a woman he'd met online and had coffee with once before who told him she couldn't go out with him that night (Rep. Hackbarth is married, but getting a divorce), because she had a prior engagement with a girlfriend.  Hackbarth assured officers, that he was only checking out the woman's story (whom he suspected was really meeting another man), and therefore everything was just fine.  So with one fell swoop, he dispelled the mistake that he was a creepy anti-abortion terrorist, with the truth about him being a creepy internet stalker.  Whew!  I'm glad that got cleared up.  And yes, the cops kept his gun that night (he did get it back however).  For the actual news story, go here.
