I have been following the Florida case. It is bound to be a 48 hours mystery or Dateline real life whatever. My guess was that most of the 9 children in the house were special needs and wouldn't be very mobile/vocal and that the robbers assumed they would not be a factor (not that I have heard anything confirming that - just my initial thoughts when I heard it). It reads like a robbery gone wrong. In a not so healthy for me place, I admit that my initial thought was that one of the children was probably involved.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Badass of the Week - Blenda
...Blenda and the women of Smaland tore the Danes a few new assholes, hacking them all into shark chum in the span of just a few minutes and utterly annihilating the invading army with a few hundred well-placed axe blows directly into the goddamned face. The King of Sweden returned from his campaign to find that Blenda and her girlfriends triumphantly standing on top of a massive heaping pile of dead Vikings, and was so pumped up about the whole thing that he granted the women of Smaland a bunch of totally awesome political and social rights that had been previously unavailable to them. From that point on, all daughters had the right to inherit property, money and land equally with their brothers, and were allowed to wear military-style garments around town and at their weddings. They were also given the prestigious right to wear the Royal Coat of Arms on their clothing – a tradition that has lasted to this day. Blenda is still recognized as a national hero in Sweden.
And that, my friends, is a pretty badass way to fight for women's rights.

ION, my boss is singing "Ballad of the Green Berets" to my other boss's dog.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Is the dog in the office or is your boss singing on the phone?
(I cannot decide which is weirder.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Huh. Matilda just woke up, looked around, and burst into tears. Right now she's being cuddled by Hec while she sobs, "I don't want to go back home! I want to go back to baseball!"

Yes.
My other boss (the one who owns the dog) is out of town, so my boss is taking care of the dog for a while.

I'm not sure if singing "Ballad of the Green Berets" counts as "care".
