Just ducky in Washington, et al
The Secret Service has been protecting a duck that's nesting outside the Department of the Treasury. I like that environmental protection policy; I think we need more of 'em. We should look out for all of our animal friends.

The last time I made a web page was in 1999. CSS was just starting to gain popularity and I never bothered to learn it. These templates that blogger.com offers are quite handy, yet they seem to either exclude or render unrecognizable certain html tags. For example, I would like to separate unrelated bits of my witty wisdom (shoot me in the head if I ever take myself that seriously) with an HR tag, or its equivalent. Does anyone want to feed my laziness and give me the Q&D guide to manipulating a blogger.com template?

The finger lady apparently has a litigiously checkered past. I can understand that Wendy's and San Jose would want to verify the authenticity of the finger claim. But c'mon, a heightened criminal investigation? I don't think the police really need to raid the family's home as if the finger-claimant were involved in a drug trafficking scheme. Based on the account in the article (admittedly, it is from the San Francisco Chronicle, which is not terribly well-known for its neutral coverage), I picture in my mind a SWAT team kicking down the door with guns drawn, creating mass chaos while they tear the home apart in search of evidence of the suspicious finger. In any event, the police have adopted seemingly intimidating tactics. They should probably tone it down a notch, lest they find themselves on the receiving end of one of this woman's many law suits.
