Idiocy in the news today
They were just out joyriding...
Seven teens, none with licences, stole a car and went joyriding in Troutman, NC, they were swerving, speeding, not wearing seat belts, and didn't pull over for a cop. In the insuing chase, the teens crashed and all seven died. One of the fathers is blaming the cop, saying that the kids "were just out joyriding..."
Joyriding article
In other news, I'm convinced the leaders of the FBI should start their own x-files series. They've told police to consider people carrying almanacs as suspicious. Seriously, this is getting beyond stupid. Sure, carrying an almanac around is a little strange, but really...
Almanacs = suspicious

This is of course why librarians have their own entry in the Patriot Act [I] prohibiting them from telling anyone if they are asked questions about research requests that people have made (person by person at least ... though I suspect that they could be asked if anyone wanted to find, say, tourist information on Washington, DC with important buildings to see and maps).
*sigh*
I'm not even going to comment on the sheer stupidity of the kids OR the parent.
