Cab driver takes blame for forgotten kid.

Don't hear about this sort of blame shifting often.

"We are very happy that the baby was safely returned to mom and dad," said Elaine Driscoll, a police spokeswoman. "That said, it was an important opportunity to remind cab drivers why we have a rule that dictates they must check the back of their cab after every fare."

I can see forgetting your bag, but you're kid? And somehow it's the driver's fault? In what backwards world is the cab driver more responsible for a child than the parent's? Oh wait, this one.

"Police would not release the names of the parents but said they were not being investigated."

At this point, no one should be investigated. It was a doof, no one got hurt, the kid got brought back. But why the cabbie should get so much as a warning is beyond me.

French tourists suck.

Justice is served.

I'll confess, when I read the teaser I thought for sure it would be another America bash. Turns out the French are jerks, just like we've been saying for years since WWII. We took the blame for the Korean War when it was their fault all along, now it's payback.

Celebrity death rumors.

Who needs newspapers?

We'll always have the Internet, which is full of speedy, factual, accurate information.

It's one thing when it's unimportant crap like entertainment news, but should there be something serious and we have to rely on the blogoshphere, I'd be a little worried.
