Fake Cop Faces Real Arrest

Village People 'cop' faces arrest

A friend sent this item to us with the subject:

It's fun to stay at the J-A-I-L




PS Yes, this item was good enough to drag the entire Red Rover staff outta retirement. And yes, as you can see, it doesn't take much.

She almost got on the Gotti trial

Great piece here by Mia Amato.

John Gotti Jr.

Black Table does it again -- content that's original, well-written, and more exciting than most of what makes it into magazines. That's super general, but whatever. I'm only on my third cup of coffee. That's why I'm pointing you somewhere else for good stuff, rather than attempting to entertain on the fly.

So wrong. So very wrong.

But so incredibly hard to resist...

A highlight, or lowlight, depending on your sensitivity to these things...

INDIANA LAST MEAL
GREGORY SCOTT JOHNSON
May 25, 2005


He wanted Oreo pie, but they were out...

Last Meal: Johnson ate his traditional last meal Monday with his attorneys. He had ribs, pulled pork, sauteed mushrooms, soda and chocolate cheesecake (he wanted Oreo pie, but they were out). For his attorneys, he ordered pizza.

The skinny: Johnson was executed for stomping an 82-year-old woman to death in 1985.


The above is only a partial entry. The site is filled with gory details and delicious meals. I only wish it had an "about" page. sure, it's fascinating, but other than that, what is the creator's motivation? To sell their DME thongs? Somehow, I'd like it to be more than that...

But then again, I'd also like Santa and the Easter bunny to be real and into delivering presents and chocolate to Jewish children.

BREAKING LEGAL SCOOP!

NYC CUPCAKE WAR!

Will children be caught in the cupcake crossfire?


Well, actually, a blog called Cupcakes Take the Cake got the scoop, but we'll give you a scoop of it here, before directing you to them for the whole sweet smell of scand-ola!

From today's post:

This morning, a reader pointed us toward an alleged cupcake controversy, right here in New York City: that Jennifer Appel, owner of Buttercup Bakeshop (and former owner of Magnolia Bakery) was supposedly suing a former employee, Mark Libertini, for opening a new cupcake-focused bakeshop in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, called Little Cupcake Bakeshop.


Get the full, shocking story right here.

UPDATE!

Our own Agent M. just weighed in with news from the field

...the field being an indoor meeting at a television network:

Ooh, we had Buttercup cupcakes yesterday for a [redacted] meeting. Delicious, but the chocolate cake part was a bit dry.

How can something so sweet lead to such a bitter war?


Good work Agent M.

All of America is still counting on you.

"I'M MAD AS HELL"

Grrrr

"... but I don't know how to not take it anymore!"

This bloggers heart is in the right place. He's horrified by what he sees on the news and he wants to make the world safer place for children.

He wants the world wide web to give him suggestions. What can he/we do to stop crimes against children?

The debate really heats up in the comments section. Especially when others wonder if his rather grizzly facts, are indeed fact.

But check it out right here, and throw him an idea or two if you got 'em.

4. I've been living it up on a small island where the natives worship me because I resemble one of their gods.

3. This blog is a test and the truth is I'm plotting real blog/content stuff behind the scenes.

2. This obituary profiling a cracked British barrister was so entertaining I almost quit showbiz.

1. Laze laze exteme laze!
