Originally, I thought this was going to be the idiot of the day.  Then, I was going to morph into Big Brother run amok.  But, the story reads a lot different than the obvious. State Del. Lionel Spruill introduced a bill Tuesday to ban displaying replicas of human genitalia on vehicles, calling it a safety [...]

Here’s the headline: The Atlanta school board voted unanimously Monday night to ban students from wearing sagging pants that expose underwear — a youthful fashion statement deemed to defy classroom decorum. Here’s the reality: Although a fashion “statement” for the last twenty years or so, they look stupid.  They make the wearer look even more [...]

A jury in Shepherdsville just found McDonalds liable for $6.1 million in the case of a worker who was basically raped during work hours.  The whole thing was caught on tape.  It went on for hours.  Basically, a prank caller directed a McDonald’s employee and her fiancee to do things to an employee and the [...]

Lewis “Scooter” Libby from a 2 1/2-year prison term in the CIA leak case Monday, stepping into a criminal case with heavy political overtones on grounds that the sentence was [...]

Paris Hilton is now serving 45 days in jail for driving on a suspended license and violating her probation. Mary Winkler is now serving 60 days for killing her husband. This was an awful week for the justice system if you ask me.
