Nina Sossamon throws in the towel and puts on her party hat!


For over a decade we've watched the our favorite female newscaster, Nina Sossamon give us our daily dose of local Chucktown news, but now she is throwing in the proverbial towel and putting on her party hat to spend more time with her and William and Mary's favorite choir boy, Ben Pogue's three kids. Admit it, you all were jealous when a guy who was the sacrificial virgin of W&M's choir, weekend meterologist (weather guy) and had the last name "Pogue" landed the cute talking head who told us all about obese children, shootings in NoChuck and Francaised named hazers at the Citadel. But Ben's a good guy and he's got a plan. He retired from news-broadcasting as well and is a 1L at CSOL.
Nina is a long way from Baton Rouge and rooming with Mary-Lou on the US Gymnastics team, and I have to admit she's done quite well for both herself, and the community. She began "Starting-Spaces" a non-profit group that helps the transition for battered women and she wears simply dashing hats which just takes the Holy City to a very cosmopolitan level. Good luck to you Nina Sossamon Pogue.

Busted! Ok, so I haven't watched Nina in a few days: Cops shoot at driver after highspeed police chase
I heard about the high-speed police chase on Christmas Eve that traveled from Hollywood to I-526 this morning on the radio. The Chas County Po-pos chased 17-year old Marquese Green and 18-year old Leraldo King (riding shotgun) in their Chevy Blazer from Towles Rd, down Savannah Hwy to Bees Ferry (I guess these guys weren't thinking about last minute shoppers causing traffic outside the Super Wal-Mart) to the Glenn McConnell until wrecking on Paul Cantrell Blvd near the on-ramp to I-526. (Mr. Green, not stopping and hitting something, That's at least one count of failure to stop for blue lights and charge of malicious injury to personal property).

Would the Smoky do this to the Bandit?
After stopping the Blazer, the sheriff deputies Andrew Miller and Kevin Harvey drew their guns and ordered the men out of the Chevy. "Either get out of the Chevy or we'll drop the heavy!" Green (the driver) then pulled a half-Nina and backed up into the police car. He only gets a half-Nina because he didn't actually run over anyone. (I think he'll still earn a ABWIK). I digress; sheriffs Wyatt and Doc Beuford T. Justice opened fire and dropped a sh_crap ton of led into the 1/2 ton of vehicle and Mr. King is still at MedU. SLED is investigating the shooting.
