O.J. Simpson already pulled an incredibly boneheaded move in his attempted robbery to recover his own sports mementos. But Associated Press reports prosecutors offered Simpson a plea deal that would have cut down his time. Simpson refused it, his lawyer saying there was nothing in the deal that was acceptable.
Gee, after Simpson got a sentence between nine and 33-years I’ll bet whatever the prosecutors offered looks pretty good. The fallen football star will be at least 70 before he’s even eligible for parole. And since he got convicted of violent felonies “good time” credits won’t be …read more

You know, there are times we couldn’t make this stuff up if we tried. And why should we make it up when there is more than enough of “teh crazy” to go around? There are all kinds of crazy name-changing stories. Here’s one more for you.
Ah, remember what it’s like to be 19-years-old? So idealistic and ready to change the world? And maybe just a wee bit misguided.
Jennifer Thornburg of Asheville, North Carolina decided to change her name to reflect her activism for animal cruelty. She was an intern recently for PETA. And that group runs a particular activist site: …read more

It looks like someone desperately wants to get into the Playboy Mansion. He can’t get enough info on TV (Girls Next Door) or the magazine? He wants to see some boobs up close and in person? Try the beach, dude. You’ll have better luck.
A Ventura County man rammed his auto into the gates at the mansion not once, but twice in a week. It’s possible these incidents are part of a larger dispute, but police wouldn’t give any details.
No one but the gate was injured in the two accidents. The first time, the man was arrested and released. But the …read more

“Hello, 911? Yes, I’d like to report a crime.”
“A crime, sir? What happened? Is anyone hurt? Do you need an ambulance?”
“No, I’m okay. But my sandwich isn’t. It doesn’t have any sauce.”
“I’m sorry, you say your sandwich doesn’t have sauce, and that’s why you’re calling us?”
“Yes, I want officers to come and make them do my sandwich correctly.”
“Um, sir, this number is for actual emergencies. You know, life-and-death situations. Unless someone at that shop has a knife or gun to your head, this is not an emergency.”
“You don’t understand, I wanted sauce! And they refused to give it to …read more

No, really.  The conservative shock jock Michael Savage just refuses to accept the  serious medical condition is real in “99 percent of the cases.” I often think, or at least hope, that these hosts just say dumb stuff like this to get a reaction.
So Brian, you might ask, aren’t you just playing into Savage’s hands? At this point even Savage probably realizes he may have crossed a line that will eventually get him fired. You may remember Savage lost his MSNBC TV show after some inappropriate comments on homosexuality.
Again, in the wake of Don Imus you’d think radio hosts …read more

Headline: People Will Do Anything For a Buck. Especially, LIE. A woman in Wisconsin has been charged with a felony count of extortion after she (allegedly) planted a dead rat in her restaurant food. She then demanded $500,000 to keep quiet.
Imagine this: go into a high-falutin’ restaurant. Order some mega-expensive dish. “Find” a rat. That’s one sneaky woman. You know she snuck that thing into the restaurant in her purse.
She claimed to find the rat in her lunch when she at a fancy-pants place called Seasons Restaurant. So, she of course threatened to let the media know unless the restaurant …read more

Talk about first-class airline passengers being a bit too full of themselves. A passenger on a recent flight from New York to Guyana decided he didn’t like the disembarking order. Because – gasp! – economy-class passengers dared to get off the plane before he did.
So he opened the emergency hatch and jumped down the chute. Um, yeah. Did we mention that the guy was possibly intoxicated, too?
The man was arrested and released on bail. Delta plans to file charges against him for interfering with flight crew members. We think it would be funny if they banned him from flying with …read more

This is pretty close to the height of stupidity right here folks. A German couple put their baby up for sale on Ebay. Yes, on Ebay.
Police are investigating a 23-year-old woman and her 24-year-old partner for suspicion of child trafficking. They placed their eight-month-old baby in an ad because he was “too loud” for them. And exactly what did they expect? Babies cry. And as they’re learning to talk, they babble and make a lot of noise. It’s normal.
I’m sorry, but doesn’t this make you just want to smack some people? They …read more

How’s this for returning to the scene of the crime? A Truckee, California woman crashed her car in the exact same spot where she wrecked five months ago after allegedly driving under the influence. Now that’s talent.
But it gets better. The 23-year-old’s blood alcohol content — both times — was over three times greater than the legal limit. Police said that she had trouble standing or walking. And at a BAC of .346, who wouldn’t? The legal limit in California is .08. Y’all, that’s closer to four times the limit. What in the world was this woman doing even getting …read more

A loved one dies and you attend the funeral. While you’re at the funeral, your home is robbed. Bad coincidence? Not in Kansas City, Mo., where a burglar used obituaries to time his crimes.
Dan Johnson of Kansas City was convicted of 10 counts of burglary. He and an accomplice had broken into more than 30 K.C.-area homes. They picked victims by reading real estate listings and obituaries, robbing model homes, homes on real estate tours, or the homes where the owner would be attending a funeral.
One man was attending his …read more
