Mother tattoos kids with home-made tattoo gun. You can read the story, but watching it is more entertaining.

Photographer saw this kid walking, so it wasn't that she is disabled. Click through the picture to see photographer's notes. You will need a Flickr account to view though.

Hey, a girl's gotta work, right?

A headline in today's Atlanta Journal Constitution reads "Teens mourn Cobb athlete killed in wreck." Not a Cobb "student." A Cobb "athlete." Well, being an athlete is more important than being a student, I guess. I love this paragraph from the AJC story:

"Griggers [the school Principal] called Reed a "nice kid -- just a regular kid who came to school and did what he was supposed to do, played sports and was part of the community."

Yup .. that's what you're supposed to do in school. Be a part of the community (who isn't?) and play sports.

Oh .. and yes. There were grief counselors at the school yesterday. Above all you have to teach these kids that the government is always there ... even to hug their necks and tell them everything is going to be OK.

I'm not as mean and uncompassionate as I sound here. But how many years have I --- and many other people --- been saying that you don't give car keys to a 16-year-old kid. These kids don't have the judgment to be driving with the rest of us. And let's not lose sight of the fact that this teenager was driving illegally. Is there a role for parental responsibility here? Some people learn this lesson the hard way, and that's very sad.

Do you remember the story we covered sometime before Christmas about the parents who named their kid Adolf Hilter Campbell? It became national news when the parents wanted to get a birthday cake personalized for little Adolf Hitler, and the bakery refused to make the cake.

As an update to that story, authorities have now removed Adolf Hitler and his two sisters from their home and placed them with child services. OK .. the parents are idiots, but do we want a government that is strong enough to remove children from a home because of what the parents named them?
