In America. I Can’t Believe This.

Embedded video from CNN Video
I have no words.

Forget Katrina.

From CNN:
President Bush signs a federal disaster declaration, freeing up federal funds for families affected by the wildfires.
See?  Nothing to worry about… If you’re mostly rich and white and live in a key state with a Republican governor.
Just saying.

Shot Through the Spine?

From the Bloomington Herald Times:
Indiana University law student Jesse Sneed may have been aiming his assault rifle at his Real Estate Transfer Finance and Development textbook when he fired shots from his westside apartment balcony early Tuesday morning, police say. The book was found later in the parking lot, shot clean through by two rounds, [...]

Why the Idiot Father Has Not Yet Been Charged

According to NBC10:
Frank Cossey tried to buy his son a rifle in 2005, but was not allowed to because he was a felon, prosecutors said. Frank Cossey was sent to prison after pleading guilty in 1981 to manslaughter in a drunken driving death in Oklahoma.
Yes, if you’re doing the math, that means he tried to [...]

I’m Not a Trust Fund Baby.

This is Andrew Speaker’s defense to the NINE lawsuits that have already been filed against him for possibly exposing them to tuberculosis on a commercial flight from Prague to Montreal.
Hmm. I wonder what his reaction to such a statement would be when he was a personal injury lawyer. Probably “I don’t care.”
The plaintiffs [...]

China Gets Serious.

You’ll recall that I posted an article a fews weeks ago critical of China’s failure to control the quality of their exports, especially as it relates to food, drink and child-related products.
China has responded to the criticism lobbed at them from world sources by… killing someone. That’s right, this week China executed its former [...]

Who Cares About Minorities?

It’s been an interesting week with respect to race relations in America.
First, there was Isaiah Washington’s rant about his firing from “Grey’s Anatomy” being racially motivated. He claims he was fired not for his use of a slur against fellow cast mate T. R. Knight but because “someone heard the booming voice of a [...]

Some Thomas the Train Toys Have Lead Paint!


Here is the link to the recall info. Or you can download the info here as a pdf: Toy Recall

Terrific. How could they not have known this. 1.5 million pieces? I think I have a few but it’s impossible to tell - even from the pictures. I’ve gathered them up [...]
