Ok this just fries me, it's sad, very sad.
A mother of three who was accused of illegally sending her children to school in Marietta was found not guilty Friday on felony charges.
Prosecutors claimed that Jeanine Echols, who lives in Cobb County, lied repeatedly to the government about her address because she wanted her children to attend better schools in the Marietta school district. Instead of using the address where she and her children live, Echols used the address of her husband's family.
This story has me so pissed and I wasn't even directly involved. Some fucking idiot teachers thought it would be a good idea to hold some kind of sadistic 'drill' with some 6th graders on a school field trip. They decided to fake that a gunman was going to shoot and kill the kids.
From the Story;
"The children were in that room in the dark, begging for their lives,
because they thought there was someone with a gun after them," said
Brandy Cole, whose son went on the trip.
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?
It always saddens me to see folks take a personal stance on something that could be more easily treated as factual. Allow me to explain. There has been a huge amount of press over CFLs and the mercury they contain. Lets get a couple facts on the table.
Yep read the story after the jump this just makes me sick. Wisconsin should be ashamed. They should be helping the consumer not forcing this guy to take money from customers he doesn't want. Gas station owner told to raise prices - Yahoo! News
I was recently on the way to work stopped off to grab a quick bottle of
orange juice to drink on the long drive in. I wasn't too choosy and
grabbed some Tropicana 100% Juice orange juice. After I was on my way I
opened the juice and it didn't taste so good, kind of awful as a matter
of fact. Figuring I was just out a couple bucks I closed the bottle and
carried it with me so I could contact Tropicana and let them know about
the bad bottle and possibly batch.
Saw this on digg, had to pull from cache and repost.

The computer guy never hears anyone tell him, “I just want to let you know … everything is working fine!”
The reality is that people call the computer guy when something is wrong.
