Sweet guy dancing in Best Buy

Elvis impersonator, who also delivered pizzas, awarded $600,000 after accident limited his ability to swivel his hips and do karate kicks. Back in 2002, just moments after Tidd delivered a pizza, he was walking across a grassy parkway when he stepped onto an exposed manhole cover. The cover flipped into his knee and he “did the splits” with his left leg dropping about 1 1/2 feet into the underground opening, he said.

Accused Witch vs Mormons

Thursday, October 20th, 2005

An English teacher suing in federal court says she was fired for religious discrimination and accused of being a witch.

District officials say Erin Jensen was not fired, and their decision not to renew her contract had nothing to do with religion.

At a school board meeting, the original minutes indicate a school board member said Ms. Jensen was a witch. Ms. Jensen says she isn’t a witch, and she’s never had anything to do with witchcraft.

“My end of the hall was known as “hell’s corner,” because that’s where the only two non-Mormon teachers in the school had their rooms. We were the two who were fired, and we were replaced by Mormon males,” said Jensen.

Charles Lewis and his wife, Nilda, listen Wednesday as their daughter Vicky, 6, reads from Matthew in her new Bible in their Simpsonville home.

Space was limited to 210 attendees, but Christian Exodus hasn’t had to turn anyone away for its fall conference this weekend in Greenville despite national attention the group has drawn.

About 100 people, more than half of them South Carolina residents, are expected for the event, said organizer Cory Burnell.

It was designed to entice people to move here from across the nation, to help push the state toward a “constitutionally limited government founded upon Christian principles.”
