Police have been accused of getting their sums wrong when they swooped on a shopkeeper’s business and seized a cache of gun-shaped calculators - because they feared they could be used in a robbery.

I can’t help but find this funny:

The Green window, made of, uh, glass? attacks the Green car, made of, uh, plastic?

Let the light sabers rattle!!! or buzz, or whatever it is they do.

Once again, some merchant has been hacked (a.k.a. some merchant has been sloppy with my credit card number).

I logged on to my email this morning to find an alert message that one of my cards had been “reported lost or stolen,” so I called the issuing bank.

it should be a lot more fun to watch the Republicans on the playground.

But it isn’t, because if they don’t get their act together, and there seems little chance of that, we’re going to get stuck with more of same, and I’m not so sure the country can take much more of it.

So, in the issue of the Chevy Volt battery fire following a side collision test, we find the following quote from Jeremy Anwyl, vice chairman of auto-researcher Edmunds.com.

“We see gasoline powered vehicles blow up in the movies all the time.  A vehicle with batteries catches fire and it is portrayed as a big deal.”

Heh!!  A yard and a six pack indeed!!

(Thanks to my sister traveling that 10 pounds of goodness the first 150 miles for me!  It was a long enough driving trip already — Orlando to New Orleans via Baltimore.)

Another newspaper weekender who has lived a sheltered life.

The accident was anythihng but “freak.”

The coach was bench pressing 305 pounds at home without a spotter.
