Kansas City doesn't like Larry Johnson


Larry Johnson has ruffled a lot of feathers in Kansas City with his liberal use of an anti-gay slur in public as well as a host of other offenses. Some fans are circulating a petition to keep Johnson from breaking Priest Holmes' all-time rushing record:



We are asking you, as fans of this team, this organization, and of the
pride that this city has in the Chiefs, please deactivate Larry Johnson. Please
do not let his name sit atop the all-time rushing leaders in Kansas City Chiefs
history. He needs a mere 80 yards to surpass Priest. He doesn’t deserve that
opportunity. He has never represented anything close to the values that we have
for our Chiefs and it would be another dagger to the fans that continue to
support this proud franchise.

When Blogging goes wrong: Woman adopts black baby then sends it back 18 months later...



Anita Tedaldi, mother to five girls and wife to a deployed soldier, adopted a South American boy who’d been abandoned by the side of a road. The boy failed to develop a familial bond with Tedaldi or her daughters (like somehow it was his fault). So Tedaldi “returned” her adopted son like a failed product after eighteen months of being his mother. Of course, Tedaldi wrote a blog about her experience and it caught the attention of the NY Times and the Today show. Mind you Tedaldi also wrote an article entitled, 'We Can't Trade In Our Children or Husbands', in January 2008 on the site military.com.

After Anita made her decision, the adoption group found "Baby D" a home with another family, and, according to Anita, he is doing well. Do you think we should be able to trade in children like pokemon cards or she did the appropriate thing by trying to right an untenable situation.
