HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — A 38-year-old father of two was jogging and listening to his iPod when he was hit from behind and killed by a small plane making an emergency landing on the beach, officials said today.

Robert Gary Jones of Woodstock, Ga., died instantly last evening when he was hit by the single-engine plane, which had lost its propeller, said Beaufort County Coroner Ed Allen. The pilot's vision was blocked by oil on the windshield.

Jones apparently did not see or hear the plane, which was "basically gliding," the coroner said.

Clinton Equates Fake Accents With Being Multilingual ?

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) - Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday she sees her sometimes Southern accent as a virtue.
"I think America is ready for a multilingual president," Clinton said during a campaign stop at a charter school in Greenville, S.C.

Only a liberal could say something so utterly stupid with a straight face... and be totally serious.

Update: Rush has the best take on this.

Of course she'll be the first multilingual president, if her husband was the first cunnilingual president. He was a very cunning guy. They work in tandem.

Police Subdue Sword Wielding Naked Woman

North Charleston SC - A naked woman wielding a 3-foot-long sword was taken to a hospital Wednesday after an encounter with police at her home.
North Charleston police went to the woman's Old Park Road residence about 2:40 p.m. after the woman's doctor reported that his patient had threatened to kill herself, according to a police report. The woman came to the door nude, spit on the glass window pane, hissed at officers and pointed a large dagger at her chest, the report says.
Negotiators talked the woman out of the house, and she exited with a long, medieval-type sword, the report says. Police used a Taser to subdue the woman, and she was taken to a hospital for a mental evaluation, according to the report.
The home was condemned after police found dog feces throughout, the report says. It says animal control officers removed 10 dogs and a bird.

South Carolina Sword Fight !

Sword fight ensues after S.C. break-in

Hilton Head Island, S.C. (AP) -- A man toting a 3-foot sword apparently met his match when he broke into his ex-girlfriend's apartment: The woman's roommate grabbed a sword of his own and sliced the intruder, police said.

The roommate, a sword collector, fended off the ex-boyfriend, who was cut on the arm, police said.

Elvis Javier Polanco, 18, was treated at a hospital and charged with burglary and aggravated assault, Beaufort County sheriff's Capt. Toby McSwain said. He said Polanco broke a window and climbed on his friend's shoulders to get into the apartment.

The roommate, Louis Delgado Hernandez, disarmed the intruder while the woman called police, McSwain said.

Surprise! Swordsman's rival brings own blade

A man armed with a 3-foot sword broke into ex-girlfriend's home Thursday afternoon because he thought she was with another man, sheriff's deputies said.
Little did he know the ex-girlfriend's roommate, Louis Delgado Hernandez, was not only home, but is an avid sword collector as well.

En garde.

Hernandez grabbed a sword from the wall and a duel ensued, according to the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.

In the end, it appeared the roommate was more adept at sword play.

Hernandez disarmed Elvis Polanco, 18, of 60 Blazing Star, shortly before deputies arrived, sheriff's Capt. Toby McSwain said. Polanco was cut on the arm in the process. He was treated at Hilton Head Regional Medical Center before being taken to the Beafort County Detention Center.

At around 2 p.m., Polanco and another unidentified man went to the apartment on Genesta Street off Palmetto Bay Road.

It appeared that both men had been drinking, according to McSwain.

Polanco broke a second-floor window, climbed onto his friend's shoulders and jumped inside the apartment, according to McSwain.

Hernandez defended the home while the ex-girlfriend, whose name was not provided, called 911.

A nearby deputy arrived within minutes, but not before the other suspect drove away in a white vehicle of unknown make and model.

Polanco was charged with second-degree burglary and high and aggravated assault and battery. He remained in the jail Thursday night, according to the jail's online log.

Hernandez won't be charged, McSwain said.
