Only in the South could someone actually drive drunk while pulling a float for a parade with children on it.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say a man driving a float in the Anderson Christmas parade has been charged with drunk driving after he passed another float then sped down Main Street.
When officers caught up to 42-year-old David Allen Rodgers, he had an open container of alcohol in the truck he used to haul the children and adults on the float for a dance studio.
Witnesses say Rodgers was driving in line in Sunday's parade when he pulled out to pass a tractor in the float.
Police say Rodgers sped down Main Street and ran a red light, while a witness on the float called 911 on a cell phone.
Rodgers, whose child was on the float, faces more than three dozen charges, including DUI, kidnapping and assaulting an officer. He will have a bond hearing on the kidnapping charge later this week.

Just be glad he didn't try to ventilate every stop sign along the parade route, too.
You have to enjoy the fact that he got caught while 'passing a tractor'

I'm so glad this is the heritage people fight to preserve. Without the Confederate Battle Flag, we might forget such glorious moments like this.
It's heritage, not hate!

Usually when you take someone on a ride against their will, it could be consider kidnapping.

presumably, the kids couldn't get off, and were thus held against their will.
What kills me is not the story, but some of the "top headlines" below:
• Man Attacked By Gator After Smoking Crack
• "I Died That Night, and I Haven't Been the Same Person Since"

O hell .. " Officials believe it's the gator that attacked Apgar. According to a Florida Fish and Wildlife spokesperson, the alligator will be destroyed. "

Don't worry. They are just going to make boots and purses out of it.
