The “Forever” stamp is a bad deal:
In December, President Bush signed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, which ensures that future price increases will be kept below an inflation-based ceiling. In other words, postage hikes will never surpass inflation—and the forever stamp will never become a good investment.
Which seems obvious enough, but the Slate story tells of some bonehead who bought $8,000 worth of things.
Red light cameras are evil:
In Fayetteville, North Carolina a red light camera struck a woman, sending her to the hospital with critical injuries. Danielle Christina Polumbo, 20, is accused of driving drunk on Bragg Boulevard at 1:40am today. According to WRAL-TV, Polumbo swerved into a red light camera pole, sending the heavy device down onto the vehicle’s roof. Emily Elizabeth May, 24, suffered critical injuries from the camera hit and was rushed to Cape Fear Valley Hospital for treatment.
Driving drunk is, of course, the real evil.
Who knew that even robot cops engaged in police brutality?
She has since died from injuries sustained in the crash. :\
One of 17,000 similar tragedies this year in the U.S. Damn.
I know Danielle Polumbo … does anyone know if she’s going to get charged for anything else since the girl has now died?
