Andrea Peyser Is Against Rape (Allegations by Sluts)

Hamilton Nolan · 02/02/12 10:02AM

We all know that frenetic tabloid sex oracle Andrea Peyser is strongly opposed to hussies, as well as sluts. But how does she feel about loose lying whores who cry rape as a way to cover up for their own loose, whorish behavior, and maybe they should have just never opened their legs for every man who says hello? Today, she clarifies her stance on this important matter.

Friendly Neighborhood Councilman Arrested For Creepy 30-Year-Old Murder

Nell Jensen · 01/30/12 10:37PM

No this is not a plot summary from the latest episode of Cold Case, but it might as well be: a local Republican councilman in Bridgewater Borough, Pennsylvania was arrested for the long-ago murder of 23-year-old Catherine Janet Walsh, who was found bound and strangled at home in her bed in 1979. Police finally cracked the case after receiving money through a federal grant program that allowed them to tie DNA evidence from the crime scene to Hopkins, who admits that Walsh had been his lover but denies that he is the murderer. The neighbors are predictably shocked, because Hopkins sure didn't seem like a raging psychopath. He even said hello to them all the time, just like a regular old non-murderer.

To the Windy City, where a man's painful dilemma may redeem itself by serving as a teaching experience for us all.

Cannibal Axe Murderer Wants to Ruin Oysters for You

Louis Peitzman · 01/29/12 11:48AM


Don't read this if you're really hungover, or are easily grossed out, or want to eat oysters ever again. I've never really cared for them which is why I'm comfortable writing this. OK, warning over.

Let's Let All the Old People Out of Jail

Hamilton Nolan · 01/27/12 12:20PM

Here in America, our jails are full of old people, and it's costing us a ton of money to keep them in there. Huh. Now there is a problem which certainly could not have been foreseen by craven "Law and order" politicians prosecuting a useless "War on Drugs" for the sake of public popularity, nor by the simplistic bloodthirsty voters who repeatedly elected them in order to satisfy a primal hatred of "the other." Anyhow, we have a solution: let the old people out of jail.

Maureen O'Connor · 01/26/12 10:12AM

Greg Kelly—43-year-old Good Day New York anchor, former Fox News contributor, and son of NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly—has been accused of raping a younger woman in New York. The woman told the New York Times that the rape occurred in her office at a Manhattan law firm, after the pair had been drinking. The younger Kelly "strenuously denies any wrongdoing." To avoid conflicts, the NYPD turned the investigation over to the Manhattan District Attorney. Good Day New York is the morning news show of New York Fox affiliate Fox 5.

Google's CEO Dealt Drugs and Knew It, Say Feds

Ryan Tate · 01/25/12 04:32PM

Well, this is certainly interesting: Google's CEO Larry Page knew all about ads his company ran for an illegal Mexican drug ring run by a convicted con artist and described in detail to Google executives. But the advertisements for illicit steroids were allowed to continue because, hey, more revenue for Google.

Video: L.A. Cops Shoot a Guy Point-Blank Outside a Carl's Jr.

John Cook · 01/24/12 10:35AM

Police officers in Monterey Park, Calif., shot and killed a man in the parking lot of a Carl's Jr. yesterday morning, and witnesses caught it on video. According to the New York Daily News, the man, who was wearing a dark hoodie, was breaking windows inside the restaurant. The video shows him coming out into the parking lot carrying what looks like a shovel or large hammer. The cops appear to taser him, which has no effect. When he seems to rear up to swing the object in his hand—but before swinging it—the two officers fire off ten shots.

Congressional Candidate's Aide Comes Home to Dead Cat with 'Liberal' Scrawled on Its Side

Jim Newell · 01/23/12 03:04PM

Jake Burris, campaign manager for Arkansas 3rd District congressional candidate Ken Aden, returned home with his family last night and found their cat lying dead on the front porch with "LIBERAL"scrawled across its side. The cat, according to Aden's campaign, "had one side of its head bashed in to the point the cat's eyeball was barely hanging from its socket." You can view the somewhat disturbing photo here. (You can't make out the bashed-in head or danging eyeball, fortunately.)

Megaupload CEO Swizz Beatz Silent as Feds Shut Down Site, Arrest Four

Max Read · 01/19/12 04:32PM

By far the most surprising thing about the news that four people have been arrested by the FBI in connection with a 72-page indictment handed down on file-sharing site Megaupload (and its streaming-video sister Megavideo) was learning that rap producer and Alicia Keys husband Swizz Beatz is the company's CEO. Otherwise, well, they definitely saw this coming, right? Sure, it's little bit odd to hear the government describe the site where you watched most of season four of Friends while you were sick last week as a "a worldwide criminal organization whose members engaged in criminal copyright infringement and money laundering on a massive scale." But we've always got Videobb. [WSJ, image via AP]

Man Attempts to Murder Wife by Poisoning Her Rice Krispies

Taylor Berman · 01/15/12 05:41PM


Last week, a California man attempted to murder his wife in the most barbaric way possible: by poisoning her Rice Krispies with, of all things, Goof Off. Because he used the most obviously toxic-smelling household product and apparently filled the bowl with it, his wife of course noticed she was eating poison and went to the hospital. Fernando Porras, the husband, did not become a suspect until he left hospital grounds for a cigarette and never retuned. He is currently being held on $1 million bail.
