Christian man told can't use 'Christ,' 'Jesus' on Sweden license plate, could 'cause offense'
Swedish officials blocked a Christian man’s request to include the words “Christ” or “Jesus” on his license plate, claiming the move could “cause offense” to those opposed to Christianity.
The Swedish Transport Agency rejected Cesar Kisangani Makombe’s application to add the word “Kristus” — the Swedish word for Christ — on his car registration plate, according to Swedish newspaper The Local. When he asked to use the name “Jesus” instead, he was informed that word was blocked, too.
“We deny any words that we believe can cause offense. Among other things, we say no to everything that has any religious connotations no matter which connotations," Mikael Andersson, press officer for the Transport Agency, said.

Farenthold resigns as Calhoun Port Authority lobbyist (w/resignation letter)
Disgraced former Congressman Blake Farenthold submitted his resignation as lobbyist for the Calhoun Port Authority, officials announced Thursday.
Farenthold submitted his resignation to the port board in a letter dated Jan. 4, but it was announced by executive director Charles Hausmann during Thursday morning’s board meeting.
Board members did not comment about the resignation. Hausmann said only that Farenthold left “to pursue other opportunities.” Hausmann declined to comment about whether the board would hire another person for the position.
The Victoria Advocate asked for a copy of Farenthold’s resignation letter, but Hausmann said he would release that only after receiving an open records request. The Advocate viewed the letter after submitting the request.
Farenthold’s letter said he had made “significant progress” lobbying on behalf of the Calhoun Port Authority.
“When I accepted this position, which was offered to me, we all knew this would be a 2-2½ year process,” Farenthold wrote in the letter, on which he placed a copyright notice. “While I would like to see my work on these issues come to a successful conclusion, being a full-time employee of the Port Authority prevents me from pursuing other interests and opportunities.”
Farenthold said he would assist the port as a non-employee “when it becomes legal and ethical.”

Senator Under Misconduct Probe Resigns, Majority Leader Says
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A state senator who was under investigation following allegations of improper conduct has resigned days ahead of the start of the legislative session.
Sen. Kevin Ranker, a Democrat from Orcas Island, sent a letter to Gov. Jay Inslee's office late Friday saying that he was resigning "with a heavy heart." He wrote that his resignation was effective immediately. The 105-day legislative session begins Monday.
Ranker has been under investigation since last fall. Tara Parker, an investigator with Ogden Murphy Wallace law firm in Seattle, was hired by the chamber in October to investigate claims made by Ann Larson, who served as Ranker's legislative assistant for a year. Larson says she dealt with sexual harassment and hostile workplace issues while working for him during the 2010 legislative session.
