From the "what the heck were they thinking file"
Michigan's Governor apparently learned nothing from the adventures of CA Governor Gavin Newsom at the French Laundry restaurant.
Bad enough to break the rules you establish for others, but to then cancel the rule right after you get caught breaking it...

From the same "what the heck were they thinking file"
Kevin Spacey has been cast in a movie role for the first time since allegations of sexual miscondut were made against him. He will make a cameo appearance in “L’uomo Che Disegnò Dio” an Italian film starring Franco Nero. Mr. Spacey has been somewhat of a pariah in Hollywood. Mr. Nero, who is also directing the film said, “I’m very happy Kevin agreed to participate in my film. I consider him a great actor, and I can’t wait to start the movie.” I doubt that the casting of Spacey will do anything but hurt this movie's box office; at least here in the United States.

Is an error of three feet a large mistake? Or a minor one? Context is everything. In this instance, the mistake may cost a New Zealand homeowner over $220,000 US. The company that he hire to build his house made an error and built it on his neighbor's property. The idiots who made the mistake need to pay up.
Half of the seniors in the graduating class at Comfort High School near San Antonio, Texas were suspended after putting a fork in their high school careers.
They put forks in the football field. Could have been worse. I recall a senior prank where the senior class removed the doors to every restroom in the school.
Vyviana Quinonez was arrested and charged wth battery causing serious bodily injury after she was involved in an incident where she allegedly attacked a Southwest Airlines flight attendant. The flight attendant had two teeth knocked out in the incident.
The headline of the article in Army Times reads "Two-star general among group of soldiers punished after sexual misconduct probe." The investigation revealed that rather than refer two allegations of sexual assault to the Army's Criminal Investigation Division (CID) as required by regulation. Instead internal investigations were initiated.
So what was the punishment meted out to Major-General Miyako Schanely? She was forced to relinquish her command and given an official memorandum of reprimand from General Joseph M. Martin, the Army's Vice Chief of Staff. Big deal.
