Simply Dumb

An Arkansas couple is suing a Fayetteville McDonald’s after some photos were lifted off of their cell phone.
Phillip Sherman left his cell phone at a McDonald’s back in July. He called the restaurant and was assured that they would secure his phone until he could return. But before he could retrieve the phone, nude pictures of his wife were taken and posted online.
Sherman’s wife, Tina, started receiving calls and text messages about the pics, which is when she learned they had been posted. Along with her name, address, and phone number. Yikes.
The Shermans are suing the restaurant, McDonald’s Corp., …read more

Sometimes school administrators just border on the ridiculous. This is one of those times.
A Florida student was arrested for some minor infractions. School authorities said he was passing gas and turning off other students’ computers.
Okay, so he was disruptive. And probably irritating. And smelly. Instead of giving him detention or sending him to the principal’s office, he was arrested by a school resource officer.
Unbelievable. Between this and students being charged with sexual harassment before they’re even old enough to know what it is, it’s no wonder people choose to home school.

With President George Bush’s term winding down, Reuters reports a few famous faces are seeking the grace of a presidential pardon. They include Marion “I Had No Idea That Was Steroids Causing My Muscles to Swell Up” Jones and the American Taliban himself, John Walker Lindh.
Yeah, I have no idea why John Walker Lindh bothered. The American Taliban has about as much chance of getting a pardon from The Decider as Nick Nolte has of getting voted The Sexiest Man Alive next year. Ask any Texas Death Row inmate about the odds of getting a pardon …read more

I’m no PR major – I opted for the less financially sound but very rewarding field of journalism. Sigh. But it seems like if you’re going to jaunt on over to Washington to beg for $25 billion in taxpayer money, you might not want to take your expensive private jet.
The chief execs for the Big Three automakers came under fire after an ABC News report revealed they flew to Washington (while seeking financial aid from the government) in private jets. GM CEO Richard Wagoner’s flight alone cost an estimated $20,000. GM alone would like $10-12 billion.

Neighbors wondered if something funny was going on, but when Margaret Berstorff reassured them that things were fine, they left her alone. Even when they no longer saw her brother, Frank, no one came over to check. After all, Margaret told them that Frank had gone to live out of state.
And when the other sister Anita stopped going out on the porch, neighbors again inquired. Margaret told them that Anita was afraid of the outdoors. The neighbors didn’t want to be nosy after all. And why wouldn’t they believe her? It was perfectly plausible.
Besides, no one was ever invited inside …read more

While wondering exactly how much money our government has to bail out large corporations, it’s worth looking at how we got here.
Yahoo Finance has a very interesting piece about the 10 Cars That Sank Detroit. I owned a couple of these and the Hummer was not one of them. Even when gas was under $2 a gallon, that thing just seemed gaudy and unnecessary to me. Great car for a rapper, not so much for normal folk.
But you know what? We’ve got to stop giving these companies billion dollar handouts. If they want some money, let them earn it. …read more

A newspaper based out of an Oklahoma town neglected to report the results of the recent presidential election. And some readers are none too happy about that. The Sapulpa Daily Herald decided not to cover the election, opting instead to mention a quick blurb about most of the county voting for McCain.
But no word about Barack Obama being president-elect.
Residents were upset about the omission, noting that national news was as important to them as local news. And I bet with an election this historic, one would expect even a small newspaper to mention something.
The newspaper insisted that their main focus …read more

Nebraska recently passed a new law, which local news outlets dutifully covered. Apparently feeling officers is now a felony. Wow, that’s a pretty strong sexual harassment law isn’t it?
Oh, wait. Running from the cops? Ah, you mean fleeing cops! Now it makes more sense. Ah, those crazy proofreaders. Thanks for providing a chuckle for us!
(Apparently someone must’ve caught the error or a reader told them about it, because the article link is no longer working.)
