When is it OK for a dog to bite you?

Dog Saves Boy From Fire by Biting Foot

PORTAGE, Ind. - A black Labrador that bit a 13-year-old boy's foot repeatedly, waking him up, is being credited with saving the boy and two of his friends from a house fire.

Christopher Peebles said he woke up Friday morning to feel his dog Laney biting his foot repeatedly in the basement of his family's home, where he and two friends had spent the night.

"I thought she had to go to the bathroom, but she never bites me," Peebles said Friday.

He and his friends walked upstairs with Laney and noticed smoke everywhere in the home.

That's when it is OK!!



Idiots:

Couch Potato Tax? Fair or Foul?

The Sierra Club proposed a 1% tax on TVs, video games and other electronic entertainment earlier this week. Dubbed the "No Child Left Inside" program, the tax would purportedly be used to raise up to $4 million a year that could help fund outdoor activities designed especially for kids.

"What we would do with this excise tax on TVs and video games and this type of equipment is to tax part of the problem to fund the solution," said Mike Casaus of the Sierra Club to the New Mexico NBC affiliate that initially reported the story.

I don't think it is up to the government or especially the stupid Sierra Club to tell people how to raise their kids when it comes to outdoor activities.

I would much rather the kids be inside playing a video game than outside with the perverts that are on the loose.

To the Sierra Club I say "Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' you none."




Here come da judge

Teen ordered to hold sign proclaiming officers are "not pigs"



NASHVILLE, Tenn.- A Nashville judge has given an unusual punishment to a teenager to stand outside police headquarters holding a sign that says officers are "not pigs."

Nineteen-year-old Austin Bean's public defender argued Friday that his First Amendment rights were being challenged.

Davidson County Criminal Court Judge Mark Fishburn ordered the teenager to hold a sign reading, "Respect the police, they are not pigs as I stated on my MySpace page" and "There is nothing funny about guns and nothing cool about gangs."

The order was a condition of the probation the teenager received for a charge of coercing a witness. Bean posted threatening messages against another teenager on MySpace.

Bean will not have to follow the order until his case is appealed.

Good for the Judge for having common sense!!

There, the Sierra Club should be happy as this kid has been ordered to do an activity outside!!
