Mona Shaw is my new (okay, old) hero. In case you haven’t heard about Mona Shaw, she is a 75-year old lady, who was seeking satisfaction from her cable, Internet, and phone service provider, and had to take matters in her own hands (okay, it was a hammer). That’s… COMCASTIC!

Living on the edge… of a chair

The life of the security director of the Sacramento Public Library James Mayle is full of dangers. First, there is a risk of being caught helping his wife’s contracting companies cheat the library system out of an estimated $650,000. Second, there is this… chair! According to The Sacramento Bee:

“[Mayle] has a pending worker’s compensation claim related to pain sustained after falling off his chair.”

Kudos to SacBee for investigative journalism. And kudos to the chair, although it should have kicked Mayle’s butt harder.
