Oh The Humanity!
In Chilhowie, VA, a terrible event occurred Wednesday night. Fourteen cars of a Norfolk Southern train derailed, 3 of which then leaked out approximately 20,000 gallons of beer. The beer uselessly soaked into the ground, not traveling into any water sources and so the Virginia Department of Emergency Management is happy.
The derailment could have been worse, said DEM spokesman Jack Tolbert. Some of the cars held coal, vegetable oil, and the flammable chemical solvent acetone.
I guess it all depends upon your perspective.
Let's just hope it was Black Label or something.

This is Desperate
William Warren Mucklow is a 38 year old loser from Charleston, WestVirginia. Dude really wanted to cop a feel of someone, anyone, so he posed as his mother and responded to a couple of home health care ads in the paper. In his sultry falsetto voice, he convinced home care nurses to come to his house to care for his/her severely impaired child.
When the nurses arrived (one throughout February, the other throughout March, Willie then posed as a mentally retarded man with the mind of a 2 or 3 year old and needed his diapers changed. Then, as the unfortunate nurses changed him, he would grab and play with their breasts.
According to the lawsuit, "After several hours of the plaintiff providing care for the defendant, the defendant 'slipped up' and did act as a 40-year-old man which completely upset and traumatized" one of the nurses.
Said traumatized nurse is seeking 6 million dollars in compensatory damages.

Remember the days when, at lunchtime recess, you could run around in the grass, swing on the swings over the dirt, play on the monkey bars and get blisters, and maybe even skin your knees by *gasp* falling on something not cushioned by rubber or foam?
Young Deirdre Faegre (11) has been suspended for a week from her Los Angeles school. Because she was DOING GYMNASTICS during the lunchtime break. Deirdre has been doing gymnastics for 5 years and enjoys tumbling about during recess. But the school is concerned that her athletic abilities might just put other kids in harm's way.
"Our first concern is the safety of all children," San Jose-Edison Academy Principal Denise Patton states. By turning cartwheels and handsprings, Deirdre is at risk of:
*accidentally striking another student
*injuring herself
*inspiring other children to try gymnastics themselves
And we can't have that, now, can we?
Pass out the gameboys and Twinkies, please.

Another...
A 6 year old boy was dragged into the principal's office at Kelsey Pharr Elementary School in Miami. Don't know what he did, but he was in trouble. Kiddo commenced to break a picture frame in the principal's office and wave the piece of glass around threatening a security guard.
The principal did what any mature adult would do with a little 6 year old who was being a brat: she called 911. 2 cops showed up and found that the clumsy boy had already scratched himself under his eye and cut his hand with the broken glass.
Clearly this was a dangerous situation! So the cops tasered the kid with 50,000 volts of electricity to subdue him. One of the cops kindly leaped forward to catch the charred child so he wouldn't bump his head on the ground when he fell.
"By using the Taser, we were able to stop the situation, stop him from hurting himself," police spokesman Juan DelCastillo told The Miami Herald. "Sure he could have been tackled and maybe injured, maybe his arm broken or maybe that glass could have cut him in a critical area."
Kiddo is now in Jackson Memorial Hospital under observation.
Personally, I agree with Retired Juvenile Judge Frank Orlando: "It just sounds excessive to me to Taser gun a 6-year-old when everyone else around there were adults...They couldn't subdue a 6-year-old? Must have been a pretty big kid."
