Here kitty kitty....

That version of the story really annoyed me.  The lead clearly implied that it was the fault of the woman for calling the mountain lion a "kitty cat" and the story doesn't mention that it was actually the fault of the dispatcher until the third paragraph.  So for the majority who only read the first two paragraphs a story about a police officer endangered by a dispatcher's failure to take a woman seriously is turned into a story about how foolish women can be.

I've heard that this kind of thing is common. When the economy is bad the rich will start spending more to enjoy luxuries.

So what's funnier than a man accidentally shooting himself and getting arrested for it afterward?  The fact that said man is from the town of Darwin.

Indeed, my wife sure as hell doesn't have loads of milk to spare once our son is fed. But then, I get the feeling that PETA is rather more consistently about hating humans than it is about treating animals well.

Plus, if one DOES happen to have spare milk, the milk banks which are available for premature and other sick babies seems like a much better option for it.

I have persimmons.
Not to mention humans consume lots of things....some of which we shouldn't and many of which are excreted in breastmilk. What if the lady getting milked so to speak is on several prescription drugs? I don't need any prozac in my icecream.
