Story Time

I saw my daddy and mommy dragged away by the police in the parking lot of Pay-Less. I heard they were strip-searched. The police were looking for drugs. They didn't find any.

The next day they raided our house looking for drugs. They didn't find any then, either, but they took everything we owned as evidence. They even took our car.

Then they froze my daddy's bank account. They said it was "suspicious".

My daddy lost his job and now we're homeless. I asked a policeman at the shelter why they did these things to my daddy. He said they did it to protect the children. It was all for the children.

Note 1: The Daily Show captures the face of racist America. It ain't pretty.

Note 2: It seems that the Gulf dolphin population is getting hammered as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil blowout. Gosh, who would have thunk?

Note 3: Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window in a whole new light.

Note 4: (This is not an ad) I'm oftentimes less than enthralled with my AT&T phone and DSL service, but my options for other services are limited here in monopolized Dallas. That's why I'm rather intrigued by Clear Internet's 4G solution.

Note 5: God strikes again as a tornado rips through one of the poorest sections of Dallas. No doubt they'll thank Jesus for this little "blessing".

Note 6: Say "Hello!" to Rick Santorum!
