Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh. Jee. Zus. Christ.
Christmas Tree Shooting: Colorado Boy Accidentally Shoots Himself With Gun Left Under Christmas Tree
CORTEZ, Colo. — Authorities say a 12-year-old Colorado boy accidentally shot himself in the leg while playing with a loaded pistol his parents had hidden behind the family Christmas tree.
Montezuma County Sheriff Gerald Wallace says the boy was shot in the calf on Monday morning but the injury wasn't serious.
Wallace says the parents had left for work but other family members took the boy to a hospital.
The sheriff says he won't recommend charges because the parents had left the .22 pistol a reasonable distance from the child.
It wasn't clear why the weapon was hidden there. Wallace says the boy was "digging around" when he found it. His father had other weapons locked in a safe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Gaaaah. Why would you leave loaded weapons lying around ANYWHERE when you have kids??

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The sheriff says he won't recommend charges because the parents had left the .22 pistol a reasonable distance from the child.
because children never MOVE of course! Oh and children rarely take an interest in what's under the Christmas tree. Can hardly blame the parents for hiding a gun there.

In case you find a perspective from other countries interesting - an editorial on the Republican party in the Independent:
Johann Hari: Republicans, religion and the triumph of unreason
You have to admire the audacity of the right. Here's what's actually happening. The US is the only major industrialised country that does not provide regular healthcare to all its citizens. Instead, they are required to provide for themselves – and 50 million people can't afford the insurance. As a result, 18,000 US citizens die every year needlessly, because they can't access the care they require. That's equivalent to six 9/11s, every year, year on year. Yet the Republicans have accused the Democrats who are trying to stop all this death by extending healthcare of being "killers" – and they have successfully managed to put them on the defensive.

It was always my understanding that the Sud was for Pseudoephedrine.
I think that's right. Sudafed = pseudephed(drine), all phonetic like.

My favorite, from the LA Times: Bear sighting: An item in the National Briefing in Sunday's Section A said a bear wandered into a grocery story in Hayward, Wis., on Friday and headed for the beer cooler. It was Thursday.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The court appearance for the driver who hit me on October 4th was scheduled for this Friday, and I was summoned to be a witness, so I arranged to have the day off. Now the case has been continued -- until March 4th. I can't decide if this is good news or not.
I am not at all motivated to go to work on Friday.
