Embarrasing Virginia ping.

There are so many people at fault here, I just don't know where to start.

Idjits, from Henrico County on down...

Selling off laptops that are only 4 years old for $50?

Now that's the kind of financial genius we need running our health care system!

people getting thrown to the pavement, beaten with a folding chair and nearly driven over. One woman went so far as to wet herself rather than surrender her place in line.

So did you get one Corin?

"Blandine Alexander, 33, said one woman standing in front of her was so desperate to retain her place in line that she urinated on herself."

Yep. It's that important.

So I guess the way to get illegal immigrants back to Mexico is put used iBooks on the other side of the border.

Remember, elimination is only by being tossed over the top rope and both feet touching the arena floor...

I went once to the after Thanksgiving sales, left my house at 3 am and the mall was already filling up for a 6am opening.

The crowds there were as bad as this one. I swore never again...unless it's a really, really good sale. :-)

Situations like this are exactly why I avoid the general public unless absolutely necessary.

Idiots + No Class + Huge Sale = Disaster

Coveting and Greed have claimed more victims!

I thought I'd read of this a while back but now by the post date I see it won't happen for another 990 years! Way to scoop the 'ol MSM! Personally I thought we'd have PCs embedded in our brains by then but I guess not.
;-)

PS: Zack & Petey - you guys got some series catching up to do! ;-)
