The Morning Paper: News Flashes

Happy Crappy Tuesday! At least in these parts, the weather is still beautiful despite the lack of rain. (Wednesday it's supposed to, according to the weather jockeys)

Here are some random clips to start your day off:

- First, this is not terribly weird, but interesting nonetheless: Seattle citizen is thrown in jail for photographing the wrongful arrest of another man, and now has been released and awarded $8,000. Apparently the cops were crooked, and on top of that they didn't file a report for the photographer's arrest. Fishy all around, but good for this guy - except for that time he had to spend in jail.

- Next, we have a look from the other side of the coin, a nun in Illinois that pleads no contest to molestation charges. We don't hear about the ol' heterosexual abuse in the Catholic Church much, but this lady's crimes were pretty egregious.

- Finally, I discovered yesterday, through this informative post, that ANYONE can post responses on the Yahoo! Answers site. So, if you're bored, try it out. Sounds like fun to me. Here's the main site.
