Ready for a story with an “ick” factor that’s off the charts? Well, too damn bad - here it is. I owe thanks to Mr. Nice Guy for finding the disturbing story of Bruce McMahan, a millionaire investment broker who could have his pick of romantic partners. The one he really wanted, however, was the [...]

Judging by reader comments on my other blog, it seems that most people think it’s a foregone conclusion that Melinda Duckett killed her son Trenton. And certainly, as I discussed in an earlier post, things look grim for the dead mom. Duckett, who killed herself after being grilled on national TV by ratings sponge Nancy [...]

Occasionally, while looking for stories of “bad-behaving parents”, I find cases in which the parents are engaged in fully acceptable behavior, but taxpayer time and money are squandered “prosecuting” them for some innocuous “crime”. We’ve all heard of instances, for example, where some minimum-wage flunkie in a photo lab calls Child Protective Services over innocent [...]

Thanks (if that’s the word for it) to Southern Sass for this appalling story of adoptive parents run amock. I’ve run a fair number of stories in this space about adoptive and foster parents who treat their kids as badly or worse than they were treated by their original parents (with poor Marcus Fiesel being [...]

Yesterday, we were witness to a genius father who brought his baby to a drug deal. At least that joker was only putting his kid in potential danger. 33-year-old Carlos Deering of Ohio took things to the next level: when police swooped in on a drug deal he was conducting from inside his van, Deering [...]

Aaaah, ya gotta love religion. It can be a bastion of hope for the hopeless - a flicker of light in a dark world. Too often, however, it’s used as an umbrella defense for ridiculous and primitive ideas that society should have left behind a Stone Age ago. One such idea is polygamy, a misogynistic [...]

As readers of my main blog know, my wife was recently out of town covering the Telluride and Toronto film festivals. She came back last Sunday via a direct flight from Toronto. As misfortune would have it, she hadn’t had her feet back on American soil for more than 30 minutes when she and I [...]

Fucking crack dealers. Here you go to the trouble to set up a sting operation to catch one of these guys pushing their rock…and what happens? The bastard brings a baby to the deal. Thanks to frequent hot tipper Rebecca for sending in this video from Yahoo! News and the Associated Press which shows that [...]

Okay, official announcement: I hereby forgive Lindsay Lohan for anything she’s ever done or may ever do. (Unoless she does something unforgivable, like go on a psychopathic killing spree, or make a sequel to Herbie: Fully Loaded.) I mean, I knew Michael Lohan was a fucked-up hunk o’ beetle-turds, but if this report is [...]

Jesus fucking Christmas CHRIST!! What is UP with you fucked-up parents and your attempts at forced abortion?! It wasn’t bad enough, apparently, that a Maine couple attempted to abduct their 19-year-old and drag her into an abortion clinic against her will. Nooooo. 44-year-old Rozelletta B. Blackshire of Columbus, Georgia had to go this one better [...]
