Millionaire Bruce McMahan is one sick man. He “loved” Linda Marie so much, when he was 65, he married the 30 year old–ceremony and all. The problem, she is his biological daughter.
Oh yeah, problem #2 (and small in comparison), she was already married to another man. It appears that if you are committing incest […]

Small world, huh? Actually it reads like an urban legend. Could a child molester/killer actually get put in the same jail as a relative of the 10-year old girl (”Katie”) he molested/killed? Yes.

Mucklow, posing as his mother, responded to ads for home health care workers and hired at least two […]

The minor skirmish over the Los Angeles Times’ characterization of “Path to 9/11″ screenwriter Cyrus Nowrasteh took an amusing turn today when the LAT defended itself in the Wall Street Journal’s letters page.
On September 18, Nowrasteh wrote in the WSJ that

Our favorite PhD and Decision and Risk Management Specialist has not been seen at her blog since Sept. 2nd. This was approximately a week after she was charged with Telephonic Harrassment. Is she in the slammer?
I am not a fan of Deb Frisch on a personal level, but I have to admit I […]

“Bush Goes Public With Terror Study” headlines the Los Angeles Times this morning.
Times staffer Greg Miller spends a considerable portion of his 1,457 word piece quoting from the newly declassified portions of a National Intelligence Estimate.
But does the Times provide a way for readers to see that document for itself? After all, it’s 1,203 […]

That’s the takeaway from a Los Angeles Times article, “Study Says Individual Insurance Too Costly,” that alerts us to this alarming fact:
Individual insurance also is less affordable than employer-sponsored coverage, the study found. Two out of five people with individual coverage spent 5% or more of their income on premiums, compared with one out of […]

Close call?
A water main blew the other day and was big news in our neighborhood though terrorism was ultimately ruled out as there have been no young Arabic looking men sighted in the area since…well, ever.

That said, our neighborhood watch […]
