All for child safety

I am all for child safety but really this is crazy. She was no more than 30 feet from the car, it was in her line of vision. I know there is a line, but I don't think she crossed it. Although, refusing to give your name and info to the police, maybe not the best decision, they were out of line. She was scared.

Seriously

Eliot Spitzer Attorney Genral, Reformer, Politician. Seriously how does a former attorney general, turned governor do something this stupid? He knows better. He was the former attorney general for christ sake.

Never Ever Give Gift Cards...

This really upsets me as a consumer advocate. Do people read the fine print on these? http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/03/06/gift.cards.worthless.ap/index.html

$75 milion paid for but soon to be gone. I would be livid. There are dozens of lawsuits about these cards anyway, because most of them eat their own balances after time or outright expire.

THE Magna Carta

I sincerely hope, I get to visit the national archives while it is on display. $20 million, I wonder how much that would be in 1215 money? The only thing that would be better is if it were the Doomsday Book!
