Random news stuff that caught my eye.
People are stupid. Lighting the bar on fire must have sounded like a fun stunt to someone. I doubt the people injured were amused.
Abercrombie & Fitch is the target of boycotts and complaints for shirts which are offensive to Asians. I must admit, looking at them, I fail to see why anyone would want one; and I also fail to see why A&F did not realize there would be protests.
Threats against banks - unspecific, unsubstantiated. One of these days everyone will get calm about these and ignore them. Then one will be real, and people will die. You know, sort of like how we deal with the dangers of driving a car.
Antibiotic-resistant strep throat. Just what we all needed. Erithromycin apparently won't cut it any more - not that it ever would for me (I'm allergic), but that's an unfortunate option to lose or partially lose for most.
