Lounge of Tomorrow - WTF Stories of the Week

I read that the whole Potomac thing was a misunderstanding and CNN ran with something completely inaccurate. No shots fired. It was someone saying "bang, bang".

Deep investigative reporting.

The Coast Guard called "shots fired" on police radio frequencies. Park Police then reported "shots fired", CNN called Coast Guard and got no comment so they ran with the info they had from the police.

Waterford Township woman accused of having sex with teen son she gave up for adoption.

It could be a matter of destiny. I wonder if the father was recently murdered. Freud would have a field day with this one. It really is a tragedy.

I can actually see some justification for the Coast Guard training being held on 9/11. This way, they have extra people already on duty, if they need them, but they do the drill to give 'em something to do.

They should have had an Information Officer to talk to the media, though.

what's particulaerly ironic about is that on 9/11 everyone said that while emergency responders were obviously heroic and did a lot of good, they could have been even more effective if they weren't hindered by communication issues between different agencies. Oh so heartening to learn that after 8 years things aren't much better

I dont think that would be half as startling as the sound of the shotgun blast that would quickly follow its discovery
