I\u2019m feeling very tired.  I slept poorly last night due to muscle aches from yesterdays walking.  Now I\u2019m waiting for Store to Door to call for my grocery order and for my O2<\/sub> order to be delivered.  That could keep me awake all day.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Daily Kos<\/a>: <\/font>As reported in this diary<\/a>, San Diego Fox News 5 used a picture of President Obama with the caption reading NO CHARGES while head anchorwoman Kathleen Bade  was discussing a rape suspect.<\/p>\n

Although it was up there the entire time during her lead-in,  assignment editor Mike Wille said it was just a mistake. Since they knew it was a mistake, (and left it up there the whole time), why didn’t they at least offer a correction or apologize?  <\/p>\n

From Upworthy<\/a>: <\/font>Kids go to school to learn. So why are so many of them, as early as kindergarten, leaving in handcuffs? <\/p>\n
