A New Standard Of Ridiculousness In The UK
Fitting that the UK has been referred to as the Nanny State because the over protective idiocy has filtered down to the playground. There is now a 'No best friend' policy at some elementary schools. This is to protect all the little snowflakes from the trauma of have a falling out with their best friend. If this is the way things continue to go then the next generation will be even less able to deal with the downturns in life than the ones now. Reality is rough and painful sometimes but we all have to experience it.

Laid Off
A small town Texas politician did something very unusual recently. He thought about the best interest of the city and its citizens by laying himself off from his city manager position. There are also two assistant city managers and Dan O'Leary decided it was not necessary for Keller, Texas to have three managers. He then chose his own position as the logical choice for the axe. He is now searching for a new job, Bet he gets a good reference.

Atomic Planes
[Clicke either half to enlarge.]
Sometimes even generals come to their senses. The notion of airborne nuclear reactors proved too worrisome even for the military, despite the brilliant failsafe plan of catastrophic ditching into water.

According to tokyofashion.com, Christian Dada's show this year was "noticeably less conceptual that the last couple of seasons, featuring more wearable fashion than what we’ve come to expect on the Christian Dada runway."
