Two stories that seem related:
- Reported by AP: 2006 warmest year in U.S. on record, so far
- Video (beta) about rise in crime in Washington D.C. [Can only be viewed via Internet Explorer, SORRY.] Make note of the U.S. Park Police officer's name: Sgt. Scott Fear. Sergeant FEAR. I sure hope he likes horror films.

The second paragraph reads:
"To ignore the weight issue (of an adolescent) is almost like the elephant in the room that no one's talking about," said Roberta Anding, a clinical dietician in adolescent medicine at Texas Children's Hospital."An elephant in the room?

Sometimes I try to curb my criticism of the world at large. You know, look at the bright side, blah, blah, blah. But, let's face it, some days it's like shooting fish in a proverbial barrel. The world if full up with idiotic behavior. All I need to do is close my eyes, spin the mouse and click anywhere.
