Recent news round-up
Good News
- Mother of 3-year-old injured by bobcat at Carlsbad zoo facing child abuse charges She didn't know what a barrier was? She is incompetent to be in charge of children.
- Rick Ross apologizes for pro-rape lyrics It's about time. I signed one of the petitions the article mentioned. But I have to wonder about his statement that using date-rape drugs "is not only a crime, it's wrong." He seems to be implying that some? many? criminal acts are not wrong.
- Abstinence presentation causes stir at GW (Also this, though I'm sometimes skeptical of this news source.) It's good to know there are kids who are smart enough to see through one-sided propaganda in their schools, and brave enough to try to do something about it.
- BBC in hot seat as anti-Thatcher song climbs chart
- French Senate Passes Same-Sex Marriage Bill
- Rare Accord in Gun Debate on Fixes to Mental Health System I hope this will reduce the number of mentally ill people who become homeless because they're not getting treatment.
- Alabama governor signs law tightening rules for abortion clinics
- 6-Year-Old Shot by Playmate, 4, in Critical Condition I tend to doubt the 4-year-old loaded the gun by him- or herself. A gun in a home, especially one with children, is extremely dangerous. UPDATE: 6-year-old boy dies after NJ accidental shooting
- Emirates’ Laws Trap a Doctor Just Passing Through One more reason not to fly on Emirates Airlines. I don't care how good their service is.
- Virginia becomes latest state to tighten abortion rules
- Republicans approve resolution reaffirming opposition to gay marriage It's bad that anyone is opposed to marriage equality, but it's good that the Republicans are continuing a position that will lose them more and more votes.

Underground tunnels? Aren't all tunnels underground by definition?

Good News

- Sen. Tim Johnson Flips on Same-Sex Marriage, Leaving 3 Dems Alone
- Cablevision Illegally Discouraged Workers From Unionizing, N.L.R.B. Says Good ruling.
- Harder Gifted and Talented Tests Netted Fewer Kids With Top Score I have posted about this before.
- Annette Funicello, Mouseketeer and film star, dies My first crush.
- 1 in 9 middle and high schoolers suspended during school year I'm sure zero-tolerance policies have a great deal to do with this.
