Man sues chatroom pals: I was humiliated beyond what 'no man could endure'
I've been online a long time, over 15 years now, and back in the beginning there weren't really a lot of places to chat. Now there are as many chat sites asthere are grains of sands in the state of Virginia. So my advice to this poor sap is to move on. Find another site, and, while you are at it, cut down on the drama.

On the use of eminent domain
This same kind of controversy is stirring up a lot of emotions in my part of the US. By whose definition is something considered a 'blight'? And if it's such a 'blight', why not put the money to use fixing up the area instead of erecting yet another shopping plaza? Is compassion going the way of the dodo bird?

Boy ok after truck runs over his head
The kid was lucky, but it does emphasize the hazards of backing up, period. Statistics show that there has been an unfortunate rise in tragedies because drivers don't always see a child who is directly behind a vehicle .

Bishop Says Priest Abused Him As Child
I was prepared to write "So, sue the bastards!" until I read the article and saw that the bishop in question is Thomas Gumbleton, a leading leftist-quack of the Church, from Detroit. A guy I've been scratching my head about for a few decades now. I'm tempted to say that this explains a lot, but I still think he should sue!

Throw out those cough drops
I knew about those cough drops for years; I'd just give my kids hard candies to suck on to soothe the coughing reflex if it got too bad. But the bit about adult whooping cough vaccinations is news to me.

Mouse sets house on fire
This guy has two strikes against him: Not only did he try to toast a live mouse, he was burning leaves during a time when unseasonably dry and windy conditions are causing a heightened fire danger. !Smart.
