Michael Arrington is a prominent tech blogger, who sold his site Tech Crunch to AOL in 2010. As such, this particular story of government overreach, starring a gleeful bureaucrat taking the property of a citizen operating in good faith, may get a wider audience than the usual conservatives and libertarians who catch wind of such things. Good. For every story that gets attention, there are countless abuses that don’t. The story starts with Arrington buying himself a boat. He lives in Seattle, where there’s much boating to be done. Having paid for the boat, named her, and had her imported...

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. -- A 400-pound black bear broke into a Seminole County home, rummaged through the freezer, and stole a pork roast and ice pops. WFTV talked to the homeowner who said she came face-to-face with the bear. Residents living along the edge of the Ocala National Forest are use to peace and quiet. But for Charlotte Rooney, that all changed one day last week. "At 5:30 in the morning, it was quite shocking," Rooney said. "What was it like to be nose-to-nose with him?" WFTV reporter Berndt Petersen asked. "Terrifying. It really was," she replied. "I haven't been...

LOS ANGELES -- The U.S. Constitution prevents California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger from becoming President of the United States. But it doesn't stop him from being an ex-President -- or, rather, acting like one. Schwarzenegger has already graced the covers of America's major news magazines -- more the domain of heads of state than heads of states. Speculation is that, because Schwarzenegger can't run for another term as Governor in 2010, he'll move to take on the Democratic incumbent U.S. Senator, Barbara Boxer, instead. I'm not so sure. First of all, there's the reality that Arnold might not win. After all,...

SOUTH BEND -- Santa Claus is not being dispatched from the Food Bank of Northern Indiana.

The business owner, whom Dalton did not name, was upset because a Santa, who said he was from the food bank, did not show up for a scheduled event at his business, Dalton said. The...
