That salty burger one is a straight-up fucked up example of abuse of power! They "said [sic] samples of the burger to the state crime lab for tests"?!?!?! Come ON!!! And since this is *Georgia*... I can't help but also look at the names and wonder who is black or white -- potentially a racial abuse of power on top of it all. And why the hell should *she* be jailed, if her management knew of the salt accident and allowed it to be used anyway??? This one just pisses me off on too many levels!!!

Half-time

At about the halfway mark between Halloween and Christmas, I ran across this gift idea suitable for both holidays. Zombie lawn sculpture. Dave Barry included this in his annual gift guide and I found the original source for it. Go »

Just As I Suspected...

A panel of experts (a group of listeners to Britain's BBC 6) have determined the worst duet in history. Obviously this group has no credentials or necessarily any credibility and history is such a long time. But that's a pretty good vote if schmaltz makes a song bad. Go »
