Breaking on CNN...Man robs Family Dollar Store

[Atman]

Escapes with $4.99. And some plastic kitchen utensils. Film at eleven.

(Okay, I made most of that up, but not the robbery part. Sorry, couldn't resist. Been too serious here this morning!)

1. I think Olberman may have another segment on dumb criminals

tonight.

I always love the "I'm the mother f@#king drug dealer" guy.

2. Desparation is a terrible thing. :)

Was the perp identified because of his tattoo?

3. I used to wonder where one of my aunts found her hideous clothes

Until the first time I entered a Family Dollar.

My sister buys stuff for her kids there all the time-it's cheap and they are growing fast. I took the kids there to pick out birthday presents for their mom, too, but I buy their clothing presents at Target, for the most part, and Nordies, when there is a sale.

4. Does anyone have any idea how they select which local stories get

to rise to national latest breaking news with unending coverage?
