What a day in the news.

I am sad that with all of you able bodied bloggers out there nobody picked up on the biggest stories of the day.

So it looks like Blade is going to jail for the next three years. I guess he wrote the IRS a check for $5 million and they still threw the book at him. Can you believe that, with Woody Harrelson as a character witness, what is the world coming to?



Arby's parent company, Triarc, bought Wendy's today. The clock begins ticking today on how long it takes them to fuck up the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger.


And finally, John McConnell, owner of the Blue Jackets, and founder of Worthington Industries, died today. I'm guessing because he was old and overweight.

WAYCROSS, Ga. - A group of children ages 8 to 10 apparently were mad at their teacher because she had scolded one of them for standing on a chair, authorities say.

That led the third-graders, as many as nine boys and girls, to plot an attack on the teacher at Center Elementary School in south Georgia.

Police Chief Tony Tanner said the students apparently planned to knock the teacher unconscious with a glass paperweight, bind her with handcuffs and duct tape and then stab her with a broken steak knife.

The scheme involved a division of roles, Tanner said. One child's job was to cover windows so no one could see outside, and another was supposed to clean up after the attack.
