Now You've Gone Too Far

Apparently there is a movement (pun initially unintended but now arguably intended simply by inclusion) in San Francisco to rename Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Facility to the “George W. Bush Sewage Plant.”

Come on, San Francisco, you've definitely crossed the line. What did that poor sewage plant ever do to you?

Running Unopposed

A 13-year-old boy in Texas snagged his dad's credit card and went on a $30,000 spending spree that ended with him and his friends playing Xbox with hookers in a hotel. When busted he told police that his father wouldn't mind, since it was his birthday last week and his dad had forgotten to get him a present. The father, a lawyer, said he had been too busy, but would take him on a surprise trip to Disneyland instead.

The Rock Island Line

Please tell me that at least somebody here was drunk.

Rock Island, Tennesee (AP) - Sometimes, you just know it’s going to be a bad day. Just ask Justin Hill, a 42-year-old Tennessee man.

One minute he’s turning in to his driveway - then he’s on his way to hospital, watching his home go up in flames. Then he got a traffic ticket. Tennessee police say Hill got into a crash after turning into the path of an oncoming car Tuesday evening.

Hill’s wife heard the crash and ran outside, leaving her cooking on the kitchen stove. Within minutes, their trailer was on fire, and firefighters who had responded to the accident found themselves fighting the blaze. The rural central Tennessee home has extensive damage.

Hill was treated at the hospital and released, but he was cited in the accident for failure to yield.
