Detainee Pleads Guilty; Americans Collectively Get...
On Monday, a Guantanamo Bay detainee, Omar Khadr, pleaded guilty to charges of killing an American soldier. At that same moment, all the way across America, everyone realized our chances of being extras in an over-budget action movie were gone. A guilty plea?! Are you kidding me?!

Adults Say the Darn-Creepiest Things

She would come up to me and bark and then run away like a dog and I would have to chase after her. Me: You know, some people pay good money for that kind of action.
