unlikely. That is prime republican territory. Tea Partier Jim DeMint is very popular in that area. He's the guy who says gay people shouldn't be teachers.

I've been scammed one notable time in my life. It cost me $200 and to this day i'm still happy that the house of the man who scammed me burnt to the ground. Everytime I drive by the site of his former house, I smile.

What goes around comes around.

I blame the greedy person thinking they were getting a hot iPAD for cheap.

There's a reason you don't go buying Apple products in McDonald's parking lots at 10 PM at night.

she was buying food around 10:00 p.m. Monday when two men approached her in the parking lot

If that didn't set off a red flag in her mind, then she deserves to have a wooden iPad.

the men gave her a FedEx box

Not to mention, given the already sketchy surroundings, maybe she should have checked to see what's in the box. I'm surprised they bothered to paint it like an iPad at all.

Try the Apple store next time, Ms. McDowell. It might work out better for you.

Excuse me but I voted for Obama and I am not that stupid.

What is it about proximity to a McDonald's that causes such behavior? First a woman initiates a multimillion-dollar lawsuit because she spilled hot coffee from McDonald's on her lap, claiming that nobody told her hot coffee was going to be hot. And now the wooden iPad sale.

There must be some pretty strange substances in the food at McDonald's. Makes me glad I don't eat there!

1. Never ask the question, if you are unprepared to live with the answer.

2. P.T. Barnum put it straight out there, "There's a sucker born every minute".
