Hardass McShootey captured

Phillips, a 44-year-old career thief who has spent 20 of the past 23 years in state prison, was taken to a jail in Buffalo and was to be arraigned Saturday morning on a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. If I spent most of my adult life in prison, wouldn't that make me a career prisoner?

I was also surprised to find that, according to various CNN stations, Phillips went from "Bucky" to "Buck" to make him seem more dangerous. I love news management. Why didn't we go with Ralph "Hardass McShootey" Phillips while we're at it?
