Texting teen falls down open manhole

A NYC teenager was walking along a street and fell into an open manhole. Seems the sewer department was doing some pressure washing and failed to rope off the open manhole cover.
Oh yeah, the teen was texting while walking.
She suffered some mild cuts and bruising.
Her parents say they plan to sue. Imagine that. How shocking.
Okay, the manhole should have been roped off.
But she shouldn't have been texting while walking. Is there no more personal responsibility left in the world? If that were me who fell down the sewer while texting, I wouldn't have come up until it was dark because I would have been too damned embarrassed to show my face.
If she was that damned distracted that she fell in a 3 foot wide hole, then she would also be apt to trip over a curb, too. Who would she sue then? The cell phone company?
It's disgusting how people are able to sue others because of their own stupidity.

Michael Jackson versus Rush Limbaugh

Lets look at some similarities between The King of Pop and America's Anchorman.
While never proven yet, it has been widely reported in the media that both parties abused prescription drugs. It ends there.
Michael Jackson has admitted that there is nothing wrong with sharing your bed with children. While never convicted of any child abuse of molestation charges, he did pay out a reported twenty million dollars of "hush money".
If you have tuned into your TV for the last two weeks, the only thing that happened in the world is that Michael Jackson died. Forget about Farrah, Billy Mays, the war in Afghanistan, the troubling deficit, government health care, and any other problems that you thought existed. The media is hyping Michael Jacksons memorial and no doubt will do the same for his funeral, like JFK just got assassinated, or some world-changing event like UFO's landing on the White House lawn or a cure for cancer was just announced.
Is he really that important?
Rush Limbaugh, on the other hand, was roasted, deep fried, cut up, pureed and everything else by the media. For Michael Jackson, they all but ignore this. If I never see another MJ video again, I will be perfectly happy.

1000 new US citizens

Today, over 1000 immigrants took the Oath of Allegiance to the United States at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
Congratulations!
And thank you all for doing it the right and legal way. Welcome to America, and I hope all your dreams come true!
My father was an immigrant from Hungary. He came here the right and legal way also.

2 year old killed by "pet" python

Florida: a pet python, over 8 feet long, got out of its cage and killed a 2 year old girl. Who the fuck would keep a python as a pet when you have small kids in the house? The mothers boyfriend, thats who. Florida laws regarding reptiles says (among other things) to have a python, you have to have a license, a cage that locks, and all pythons over 2" diameter have to be microchipped. None of these three things were done by the owner.
Imagine that. Shocking.
What's wrong with people? Are you that fucking stupid? Do you not care for that little 2 year old girl more than that snake?
If there was any justice in this country, both the mother and her boyfriend would b dropped into a tank of pythons at the local zoo. And then the cage would be locked.
