Kids Throw Tantrum. Judge Caves.

Apparently two boys, whose parents had divorced, convinced a family court judge that they hate living in France, where their mother had taken them after she won custody. Three judges actually, have determined that the boys, who "asserted their 'Britishness', dislike their new home so much, that they don't have to live there.

Wow.

Stamp your feet and whine enough and apparently that's all that's required to convince a judge in England. I'm amazed and appalled. For whatever reason, the mother won custody of the children and she has the right to relocate them wherever she decides is best. Now all that needs to happen is for the other parent to convince the kids that they can throw a tantrum and get what they want, as the mother says the father has done. A couple of reasons the boys gave were - they can walk to school and do less homework in England...

Ah, Orlando. The City Beautiful

This is how they intend to keep it beautiful I guess.

They passed a law making it illegal to feed homeless people.



I suppose the idea is; if you feed the homeless, they'll congregate there. Or; out of sight, out of mind?

Either way, it's pretty heartless for the town the Mouse built. Wait. That's redundant. Now you know why I don't miss it much.

Anyway, the law has been tested for the first time. A 22 year old was arrested and tried for feeding the homeless in beautiful Lake Eola. Been there a hundred times. Disney holds events there. The homeless hang there. Always have, always will. Stopping the aid this man and others give them won't change that. It's downtown. The only thing that will stop homeless people from finding it an attractive place to squat is to remove all dumpsters and don't let people work, eat or drive there.

Man Sues McDonalds For Not Holding the Cheese

A South Carolina man is suing McDonalds because he ordered his Quarter Pounder without cheese and it had cheese on it. The man is allergic to cheese and almost died after he bit into the burger.

The man's lawyer noted that Mr Jackson, "told a worker through the ordering speaker and then two workers face-to-face at the pay and pick-up windows that he couldn't eat cheese, Houston said."

"By my count, he took at least five independent steps to make sure that thing had no cheese on it," Houston said. "And it did and almost cost him his life."

How about some personal responsibility? YOU'RE DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO CHEESE!! How about YOU look at YOUR food before YOU shove it in YOUR pie-hole? How is it McDonalds' fault that you can't seem to manage YOU'RE own affliction?

Somehow I'm sure he'll get some cash out of it and we'll all suffer for it.
