Hot tipper Sarah sent me this write-up by Toronto Star writer Rosie DiManno that’s heart-wrenching. DiManno takes pains to let us know just what a loving father Leonardo Campione was to his two darling girls, 3-year-old Serena and 1-year-old Sophia.

Hot tipper Molly sent along this disgusting story from San Bernadino, California whose first paragraph alone made me wanna puke up the breakfast I hadn’t eaten.
