Don't worry — he can afford it. With a $1.1 million salary, he is Idaho's highest-paid public employee.

Ex-Jazz player Kirk Snyder's competency hearing in Ohio has been delayed after the judge was told Snyder was being "uncooperative."
A doctor assigned to evaluate Snyder recommended he be moved to a behavioral center.
Snyder, who has been charged with aggravated burglary, assault and felonious assault, is not guilty by reason of insanity, his attorney claims.
Uncooperative, huh?

Jerry Sloan could have predicted that long ago.

Russian tennis player Dinara Safina has an explanation why some people are upset she is rated No. 1, despite never winning a Grand Slam event.

The guy who streaked Citi Field last week told reporters he had been planning the caper for eight years.
Must be a smart guy.
That's only six years longer than it took to build the stadium.
