Two Florida teachers wanted to do something nice for their students who were worried about their up-coming standardized tests. So they gave each of them prescription pill bottles… filled with mints. The bottles said “”Watson’s Whiz Kid Pharmacy. Take 1 tablet by mouth EVERY 5 MINUTES to cure FCAT jitters.” The parents were not amused, and say the teachers are promoting drug use. Are the teachers insane or are the parents over reacting?
Moments in Racial Insensitivity: MARTA in Atlanta is in hot water for renaming the train line that goes through a mostly Asian area the “Yellow line”
Remember President Obama’s wonderful plan to cut NASA’s manned space program and rely on Russia to send our astronauts into space until American commercial spaceflight companies are ready to start flying in a couple of years? Well the Russians have decided that they are going to start charging us more than they are charging space tourists. Because they can.
More zero tolerance run amok: Another student has been suspended for bringing a toy gun to school. It’s not quite as ridiculous as the two inch Lego toy gun. This time it was a four inch gun from an action figure. (There’s video)
A billboard in Minnesota has a picture of President Bush with the caption “Miss me yet?” The billboard comes from an anonymous business owner.
A woman was told that the smoke she noticed while she was looking at her condo was from the previous owner. It turns out it was actually coming from the condo one floor down. She had to move and is suing, saying she was lied to. Does she have a case?
A 28-year-old man was pulled from the wreckage of a Port-au-Prince market on Monday. That’s a full four weeks after the devastating earthquake hit. That doesn’t seem physically possible, does it?
American Airlines joins the list of airlines charging for blankets. So would you rather pay less for a ticket and get absolutely nothing with it, or would you rather pay a little more and get all of the stuff you used to get?
Palin who? A new poll has Mike Huckabee as your frontrunner for the GOP Presidential nod in 2012. Before you get too excited Hucksters, this poll is in Alabama and it also has state albatross Roy Moore leading for the GOP nomination for governor. So they may have just sampled Southern Baptists.
