But backers of [...] Life imitates art… A Tucson, Ariz., man was arrested after a foul odor led police to discover he had been living with his mother’s decomposing corpse. “The person was found in a bathtub, I believe, and may have either been bound or was found in some circumstance [for police] to believe she may not [...] Life is always better, worse, funnier, and more tragic than any fiction…. Exhibit A: A college student claims he was injured when a fraternity member in a “drunken stupor” decided “that it would be a good idea to shoot bottle rockets out of his anus,” and did so, “but instead of launching, the bottle [...] The Feds have dropped their doping investigation against Lance Armstrong. http://yhoo.it/wEM7io I’m of two minds on both the man and the case. I firmly believe in the presumption of innocence and know that many of his accusers are liars, rent-seekers, or both. He’s also not given a dirty test. How do I know? The [...] Someone’s got a lot of time on their hands… I find this kind of funny and in line with the shenanigans of Vermont’s public safety as depicted in Super Troopers Inmates working at a Vermont correctional unit’s print shop managed to sneak a prank image of a pig into a state police crest that [...] This man… 48 year old John Goodman adopted his 42 year old girl friend in Florida… Why? Isn’t it obvious?

If the mobile link doesn’t work here is the New York Daily News version. Share on Facebook Pilot in deadly crash denied permission to fly solo, http://fxn.ws/w5A6iP Sometimes the regulatory system serves a purpose. Share on Facebook Chris Christie is at it again… a NJ lawmaker compared Christie to George Wallace — segregationist governor — for saying that gay marriage should be put up for referendum as opposed to legislated from Trenton. Christie, answers that charge here… in classic Christie fashion. Share on [...] The Gaia Cult is at it again… Suing the U.S. Navy to prevent sonar usage… for the whales. http://yhoo.it/zD0AYd Share on Facebook I like Starbucks coffee… or rather I like some of it. Christmas Blend is my favorite and I like the medium roasts though I stay away from their dark roasts because they always taste too smoky to me. Anyway… living in the People’s Republic of California I pretty much don’t think about the issue [...] In January of 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed January 22 — the anniversary date of Roe v. Wade — National Sanctity of Human Life Day (Bush and Bush continued the proclamations, Clinton and Obama did not of course). Politically, he is correct of course in one major way… a correct and reasonable interpretation of [...] Wanted criminal? No… haunted criminal: A Wisconsin man charged with domestic abuse told cops that a “ghost” was actually responsible for injuries suffered by his wife, according to police.

West [...] Here’s an “interesting” story out of Iowa from The Des Moines Register: A Des Moines man has been arrested after police say he used, or tried to use, the identity of Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz in a scheme to falsely implicate Schultz in perceived unethical behavior in office. Zachary Edwards was arrested Friday [...] A pretty consistent question I get from students over the years is why do liberals often appear to be either very rich or very poor. The very por are easy to explain… they are often direct beneficiaries of government largesse. But what do affluent people get from big government liberal policies like the environmental [...] Indeed. A man who had pleaded guilty to DUI manslaughter stemming from a crash near Tampa, Fla., on Christmas Day 2007 now denies causing the crash that killed three of the four people in the vehicle he hit. David Belniak has sued the estate of Ray McWilliams, the now-deceased driver of the other vehicle, [...] Man oh Manischewitz… you cannot make this stuff up! Hmmm… I wonder what they used for a fuse. Armed with flaming tampons–yes, flaming tampons–two young Pennsylvanians attempted to blow up a vehicle after severely vandalizing it, according to police. The bizarre January 7 incident outside a bar in Metal Township resulted in the [...] How hungry are you? This hungry? A Los Angeles woman was arrested on suspicion of prostitution after she allegedly offered sexual favors in exchange for Chicken McNuggets, Burbank police said. Khadijah Baseer was seen opening customers’ car doors in a McDonald’s drive-through on the 1700 block of Olive Avenue late Wednesday night, Officer Joshua [...] |
