craziness around the nation

Everyday, something new happens (a new crime, a new baby, a world record broken, a new celebrity scandal etc) so what is the crazy thing that you heard today that bothers you or makes you proud or just puzzles you? In Maryland (Baltimore), they are trying to cut police officer's and firefighters pension because of budget cuts. I have a suggestion. Instead of making policemen and firefighters suffer after they spent their lives putting their lives on the line everyday to keep us safe or save our lives, let's cut some of the welfare benefits and force people to stop having kids they can't afford or force people to actually go out and work.
