NOW, I can't think of any reason NOT to think this is outrageous.What message does this send to kids?

quote.......
A former city councilman in Black Hawk, Colo., who pleaded guilty last week to pistol-whipping his wife was sworn in Wednesday as town mayor.

David Spellman entered the guilty plea to felony menacing and third-degree assault charges after police said he hit his wife in the head several times with a .380-caliber handgun and fired three shots, the Rocky Mountain News reported in its Wednesday editions.

I'm not sure if he's a R, but chances are pretty good.

BTW, I'll be heading to Blackhawk in a few months to do some hardcore tournament gambling in preparation for Las Vegas the following month.

Yeah, I'm deaf, but nobody famous unless you consider my poker partner the winner of the first World Deaf Poker Tournament last year. We play together at Silent Athletic Club in Aurora.
