Yahoo! News - 'Mister Rogers' Dies of Cancer at 74 It's a sad day. Mister Rogers entertained and taught values to millions of kids, myself included. He's hung up his sweater for the last time. We're glad we were your neighbours.

Don't Smoke That!

Teenager busted for marijuana gets 26-year sentence.

Street racers in in the Lower Mainland kill people and get house arrest. There's heroin dealers running around in downtown Vancouver happy as clams that there's city sponsored "safe injection sites" for them to deal near. One of the Air India bombers plead to a charge of manslaughter for killing over 300 people and got a whopping 5 years.

Talk about lopsided justice.

This 18 year old kid who sold $350 worth of weed to a dectective gets 26 years? What the hell is going on in North America. I think law makers are smoking all the stuff the confiscate.

Pardon me Mr. Dungeon Master can we do this over again?

Thanks to Matt a.k.a. Exx for the link.

Another Space Shuttle Disaster

Space shuttle blows up over Texas. I couldn't believe this when I heard it this morning. It was happening again. I still remmeber the Challenger exploding on take off very well. This shuttle was 16 minutes away from landing landing and, apparently, just broke up. Another seven astronauts are presumed dead. Among them was Ilan Ramon the first Isreali to go into space. Another sad day.

My sister-in-law, Cathy, lives in Dallas and heard the explosion. She said her windows shook and that she thought it was a plane taking off. She said it was scary.

What the heck happened?
