Well, duh. Of COURSE there are parents out there who oppose Halloween for religious reasons. But as much as I like to lay down the snark, I actually found this article interesting and somewhat enlightening.
I feel bad for Elizabeth Silvia, the high schooler who recounts the taunting that she endured at the hands of her [...]

Yes, you read that right, people - we have a bloody two-fer on our hands. Rashawn Mack - henceforth knowing as Mr. Murdering Bastard - shot both of his exes in the head. He shot the women in their own separate homes, in both cases while his own children were looking on. And for what? [...]

From the “You Gotta Be Fucking Kidding Me” Department comes this story: an Australian court has convicted a couple of…well, not quite sure if “convicted” is the right word. See, the unnamed couple had been stashing their teenaged daughter in her bedroom, under lock and key, for two years. During that time, she was allowed [...]

People deal with the death of family members in different ways. Some seek solace in their surviving friends and loved ones. Some look to whatever God they believe in for comfort and guidance. Some throw loud, raucous wakes for the departed, choosing to celebrate life rather than dwell on death. And some, like Vitaly Kaloyev…well, [...]

I don’t know what to say about the unnamed 21-year-old mother of Portsmouth, Ohio who left her newborn child in the wild, to be mauled by dogs. What more is there to say beyond “Enjoy your nice warm seat in Hell”?
Me, I’m more concerned about the poor mother who came outside because her [...]

Hey! My hometown made the news! We San Diegans like to refer to our little burg as “America’s Finest City”. Our citizenry? Well, sometimes, not so much. Last night, Rachel Garta led her two-year-old son on to a set of trolley tracks, then attempted to push the poor kid into the path of the oncoming [...]

You know it’s going to be a sad day when you see the words “birthday party” and “melee” in the same sentence. Seems things got a bit rowdy at a one-year-old’s Happy B-Day celebration in East Hartford, Connecticut. Then a neighbor from an apartment below went upstairs to complain about the noise - and that’s [...]

Call it Fate, call it Karma, call it God’s Will - sometimes things just fall into place. This morning, I came across the image to the right and thought, “Now, there’s a pic I wanna use. But what are the odds of me finding a story that will compliment it?”
Well, thank you Charlize Theron!The poster [...]

Today, I went to pick up coffee from the Starbucks next to our neighborhood Safeway. What did I behold while there? A woman with four kids, none older than seven, ushering them across the parking lot with one hand. What was she doing with the other hand? Why, gabbing on her cell phone, of course. [...]

I almost - ALMOST - feel bad for these two. They didn’t leave the kid in a ditch or on a park bench. They actually handed the kid off to someone - ok, two total strangers at the drugstore next to their apartment building - but still. It could’ve been worse.
Now, perhaps Daniel’s Law [...]
