Newhound Stories of Interest
Some interesting stories I wanted to share:
- Probation for short sex offender sparks debate--A very short (5' 1") sex offender gets probation instead of jail time for his crime because of his size.
- Marriage by the Numbers--Newsweek once reported that "a 40-year-old single woman was 'more likely to be killed by a terrorist' than to ever marry." Now, the publication is taking back that offensive statement.
- Episcopalians elect 1st female national leader--as an Episcopalian, I'll be watching this story closely. And I'm pretty proud and excited that this is happening in my church.
- So You Want To Visit An Inappropriate Web Site...--CBS cracks down on employees visiting naughty Web sites. But the real fun in this article is the list of "The 6 Worst Domain Names EVER".
- A Monument to Hate--As if the reality of Hitler's regime wasn't bad enough, a man has erected a shrine to the Nazi leader in Wisconsin.
Comments
Having already seen the "Marriage by Numbers" piece, and being afraid to peek at the piece on CBS' approach to employees and inappropriate websites, I opted to do a little emotional transference and perused the Hitler monument piece. I hadn't heard about this guy. And I'm not terribly disappointed by that.
Thanks for keeping us all literate, though.
