Not To Be Outgunned

A man walks into a church service, pulls a gun, and begins firing. When he has killed and wounded to his satisfaction, he turns the gun on himself, thereby saving the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of future prosecutorial, appellate, and incarcerational dollars, not to mention robbing Court TV of...

Special Agent In Charge Of Assinine Statements

The slayings of U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow's husband and mother was a horrible act. The offer from the FBI of $50,000 for information leading to an arrest may actually improve chances of an arrest (so far, there is no official suspect in the case). But then, maybe not. Example: Special... Sign in to see full entry.

Answer To Post "How Many Boy Scouts Does It Take To Make A Million?"

Ever since the question was raised as to why so many Boy Scouts bore the name John Doe, which launched a subsequent FBI investigation into the matter, the Alabama Boy Scouts council that was being investigated (and conducting its own aggressive internal audit) has been cooperative and has finally...

Unwanted Baby Not Rescued Or Tossed

The Florida woman who made headline news around the country and around the world yesterday with her story about scooping up a baby she had seen tossed onto the street from a moving vehicle apparently concocted the entire tale.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

A good samaritan, after witnessing a collision on Route 8 in Connecticut and calling it in to the state police, went to help those involved.

How Many Boy Scouts Does It Take To Make A Million?

Well, apparently the answer to the above question is thousands, tens of thousands. Tens of thousands that don't exist. The FBI isn't commenting, but they are conducting a nationwide investigation into the charges of padding the enrollment lists. Why would the Boy Scouts of America do something like...
