This is the kind of crime I can really get into…
I know they say this is a crime and everything and that people’s lives could have been in danger because signs do such an important public service and all… but this is hilarious:
Austin drivers making their morning commute were in for a surprise when two road signs on a busy stretch of road were taken [...]
Tweet Congress: Missing our locally electeds
So, does your Congressional representative or Senator want you to know what’s going on? Well, if you look around the Greater Cincinnati area the answer would be mostly no.

This can’t be good news. And I think, as these things tend to go, probably isn’t good news for the long run either.
CNBC is reporting on-air that Steve Jobs is taking a leave of absence from Apple until June to “focus on his health.†According to the report, Tim Cook will handle day-to-day operations at [...]
