Hilarious, though the real situation is tragic.
I can't imagine how the intern felt comfortable signing off on that...

someone ought to find the person responsible for the prank and beat the sh__ out of him. People died and others were seriously injured in this accident. It is nothing to joke about.
I'm closer to Warb's position on this one, that was pretty awful. However...

why do you smile? we have no idea if Zimmerman actually acted in self defense. Maybe Zimmerman did act in self defense. But maybe he didn't. We have no way of knowing for certain. I see no reason to jump for joy.
:) does not equal "jumping for joy" nor does it equal "soldier"
It means I am pleased with the verdict and this is not Politics.
I am pleased because there was a mountain of reasonable doubt and that the racial narrative and mob mentality did not prevail above justice.

You're right, this is me:

Image not showing?

the image is showing, I am just not sure what you meant.
lol Warb, it's pretty clear. He's saying there is a big difference between being "pleased" and jumping for joy / dancing on a stair landing.
It's not just semantics.
For anyone interested, how to dance like Molly Ringwald.

It's hilarious that airline wants to sue the tv station that aired those fake names, because it damaged their image. I would think the NTSB intern (now fired) who punked the station would be the target, but they probably don't have as much money.
I would think the charred wreckage of an airliner, three people dead, and who knows how many facing life long injuries is the real image problem.
That the pilots did not have to submit to drug tests after the crash is outrageous.

Federal government demands disaster plans for a magician's rabbit (including surprise inspections of his home).
Congress is dominated by intellectual lightweights who are chiefly consumed by electioneering and largely irrelevant in a body where a handful of members and many more staff do the actual work of legislating. And the business of the institution barely gets done because of a pernicious convergence of big money and consuming partisanship.
Lastly (though even less a currents event story): for lack of a better summary it concerns the value of knowledge.

DNA evidence is not so iron-clad.

"But that one-in-1.1 million figure is misleading, according to two different expert committees, one convened by the F.B.I., the other by the National Research Council. It reflects the chance of a coincidental match in relation to the size of the general population (assuming that the suspect is the only one examined and is not related to the real culprit). Instead of the general population, we should be looking at only the number of profiles in the DNA database. Taking the size of the database into account in Mr. Puckett’s case (and, again, assuming the real culprit’s profile is not in the database) would have led to a dramatic change in the estimate, to one in three."
I guess I am just slow/stupid, but some one needs to explain the math to me here cause I don't get it.
Math isn't my thing either. I'm really not sure. But still the fact that even at 1.1 million, there are basically 300 other people in the country whose DNA profile would match yours is something noteworthy. And that's not accounting for errors of contamination and such.
