Pa. man dies during storm when 911 calls unheeded

I canNOT believe those ahole paramedics were so close on numerous occasions and didn’t even try walking to his door!!! Don’t they take an oath or something, or at least have a responsibility to do the job they chose, trained for, and are being paid for?! I hope they all get fired! My dad would NEVER have been so heartless and irresponsible! Heck, he would’ve shoveled the driveway and pushed the ambulance out of a snow bank if he had to! That’s just what people who go into medicine to HELP people do!!!

IOC to investigate Canadian women's hockey team for celebration

“The Canadian women's hockey team should have acted with more class… but to do something drastic like ban the team from the Closing Ceremony or force them out of the Olympic Village would be an overreaction. In past Olympics we've seen steroids, political boycotts, cheating and judging scandals. A few puffs of a cigar hardly seems to be in the same league.” But I suppose Scotty Lago taking a few suggestive photos with his bronze medal is so much worse… especially considering a member of the Canadian women’s hockey team was underage and actually breaking the law…

The $555,000 student loan burden

Laura Timoney fumes after son Patrick, 9, is busted for bringing 2-inch-long toy gun to PS 52

I’m sorry, Mom, but have some accountability… how stupid are you to let your kid take a toy gun, regardless of how small and obviously fake, to school?! I find it disturbing, not because of the little lego gun itstelf, but that the little kid was putting it in a dolls hand to shoot at another student’s doll during lunch… school is not the place to simulate a violent act! I’m glad your kid was verbally accosted by an adult who seems to be actually responsible!
