Some days we look back at what we did and wonder why we didn't see how dumb it would look in retrospect. Here are a few recent examples.

An Iowa convenience store chain manager created a contest for employees. The employees were asked to name the next co-worker to be fired. An Iowa judge called the contest deplorable. This mis-manager may need a time out. There is no indication if anyone picked themselves. 

The imaginary-baby adoption lady is said to have violated probation and in trouble again.

The Iowa Supreme Court puts down its foot with police monitoring of attorney “confidential” visits with arrestees. Private and confidential means just that – private and confidential. You mean that video recorder and making the lawyer scream at his client through Plexiglas makes that impossible? See Barney Fife being told to go to jail, do not pass go, just go straight to jail.

Nip it in the bud Barney. Here is an actual scene from the Ankeny Police Department video interrogation.

If only they understood The Cobra method of interrogation. 

Trust me, I can't make this stuff up. My imagination doesn't work this well.
