Things I never thought I'd read...

I'm browsing the news today, and I've noticed an interesting trend- a series of articles that honestly, I never could have imagined reading.

It started with the school teacher Scott Porter - class subject is important here, ANGER MANAGEMENT- who began messing around with a student, and for some unknown reason put the kid in a head lock, told him to 'tap out' or else 'something gets broke' and then... wait for it... broke the kid's finger. The kid claims the finger was broken AFTER he tapped out.

Then there was the bad employee who was afraid she was losing her job after seeing an add in the employment section of the newspaper for a job similar to hers and with a contact number that she knew was her bosses. Marie Lupe Cooley decided that if she was going to get canned, she had every right to make some trouble first.
So, police say, she went to the architectural office where she works late Sunday night and erased 7 years' worth of drawings and blueprints, estimated to be worth $2.5 million.

Now, the problem with this grand plan is that not only did she commit a crime, but that she wasn't really going to loss her job. Turns out, the ad was for a position with her boss' wife's company after all. But, between you and me... I'm just wondering if anyone had pointed it out to her that SHE was looking through employment ads, which normally is done when someone is looking for a job. Ironic?

And the winner of bad behavior in today's headlines has to be Richmond County Deputy Coroner Charlena Graham. Seems that he puts faith in the notion that the dead can't take anything with them... so the living might as well plunder whatever the dead have.
Authorities went into a motel room on Dec. 31 after getting reports of gunshots, a sheriff's report said. In the room, deputies found a 29-year-old woman dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A handgun was in the woman's hand and a handwritten note lay nearby, the report says.

Family reports cards missing
Personal items from the woman were turned over to Graham, including five gift cards for Macy's, Target, Victoria's Secret and a local steak house, according to Sheriff Ronnie Strength. Authorities later learned from the woman's family that some gift cards might have been missing, he said. The total value of the gift cards was about $400.

Investigators recovered videotapes of Graham using the gift cards at local stores, the sheriff said.


Yep, it's clear, people are stupid.

Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
