Two kids, six and seven years old, hang a cat from a tree with a video game controller, but nothing can be done about it. Sheriff Joe says they’re too young to prosecute—and CPS can’t do anything because they don’t see evidence of child abuse. The parents don’t seem to care about getting the boys counseling, so what happens? Do you just let something like this slide?
Today marks the anniversary of the head-on collision that ended Alex Ahmad’s life. Family members are suing the state, the city of Chandler and the MCSO, saying officers deviated from policy while chasing a robbery suspect. It’s terrible that the Ahmad family lost a loved one, but the cops have to chase the bad guys.
Burger King’s ad men are bringing you the Whopper Virgins, people from faraway places where there’s no such thing as BK or the Golden Arches. Do these guys have the perfect palates for deciding which burger is best? Can you and I even really describe the difference?

Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell says Janet Napolitano will be the perfect Secretary of Homeland Security because she “has no life,” meaning no family. That has us thinking about the big, unspoken suspicion about Nappy’s personal life. Is there a secret? Is it any of our business?
Lawsuits were filed today, in response to Black Friday’s trampling death in a New York Wal-mart. The giant discounter will probably end up shelling out a lot of money, but that doesn’t mean they’re really to blame. The people running over the poor guy? They’re the ones who killed him.

Are speeders really the scourge of Phoenix, or are photo cameras just a great way to separate you from your money? If it’s just an ingenious revenue machine, it’s not right!
Mayor Phil Gordon says you need to shop local stores to keep money circulating through the local economy, but that’s not going to help you the way shopping for the right price will.
There’s now a genetic test to determine whether your kid will be good at sports. So, what if he or she’s won’t be? Does it matter?
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says D.C. tourists stink on ice! Well, maybe not in so many words, but that’s practically what he did say. It’s just more evidence of how politicians have no connection to—and seemingly, no respect for—you and me.

As he prepares to hand power over to Obama, President George W. Bush says he’ll be happy to just fade out of public view.
Muslim terror gripped the world again last week as Mumbai, India came under siege. Wouldn’t you know it? I hear no official condemnation coming from The Religion of Peace.
