Do Kentucky Recipients Of Public Aid Really Have To Submit To Drug Testing

Do Kentucky Recipients Of Public Aid Really Have To Submit To Drug Testing: "

I love when people are well informed, what I don’t love is people who take half of the story and run with it. There has been a story floating around that Kentucky recipients of public assistance will now have to undergo regular drug testing. That information is only partially correct, proposed bill HB208 has not been passed in the state of Kentucky, yet. Here is the outline of the substance use policies under the proposed bill:

“(10) (a) The cabinet shall design and implement a substance abuse screening program for adult persons receiving or seeking to receive monetary public assistance, food stamps under the federal food stamp program, or assistance under the state medical assistance program, with the screening program including periodic testing of the person’s blood or urine for the presence of controlled substances as set out in this section.

(b) An adult person shall be ineligible for public assistance if:

1. The person does not participate in the substance abuse screening program established under this section; or

2. The person tests positive in a substance abuse test administered by the program for the presence of:

a. A schedule I controlled substance; or

b. A schedule II – V controlled substance not prescribed for that person.

(c) The substance abuse testing component of the screening program shall be designed so as to require that testing occurs as an initial condition precedent prior to the receipt of public assistance and once for each subsequent year the adult person receives public assistance, with the person being randomly assigned a month within that year to submit to testing upon receipt of reasonable notice from the cabinet.

(d) The results of testing conducted under this subsection shall not be admissible in any criminal proceeding without the consent of the person tested.

(e) The secretary shall by administrative regulation prescribe the design, operation, and standards for the implementation of this section.”

So to clear up the rumor, no one has to get drug tested yet and my information is from the house bill draft dated 1-26-11. Now here’s my issue, if people receiving public assistance had to get drug tested, so what? I had this conversation with one of my professors and a really good friend of mine the other day and they brought up some really good points.

The first point is that most companies require their new hires to undergo initial drug screening and then have them agree to random drug screening at the company’s request. Not only that, it has become an OSHA standard that if there is an accident on the job, then the person involved in the accident must be drug screened within a predetermined amount of time. So, my first question is, if people who get up and go to work every day have to submit to random drug testing, then why should the people that the working people are supporting not have to?

Secondly, in this economy, those who are on public assistance are receiving a steady check, section 8, health benefits, food stamps and in many cases, energy assistance at tax payer expense and working people are fighting to make ends meet. The nerve of people who are receiving public assistance to complain about being drug tested is ludicrous. Why should the tax payers fund someone else’s addiction? The way I see it, the only people who have anything to worry about are the people who are using their government checks to buy dope every month. If it were left up to me, there would be alcohol testing as well. Why? Well, lets just say this, if the government wanted people to be able to used their assistance on alcohol, then they would be allowed to buy it with food stamps, and they’re not. I think the message from the government regarding using public assistance for alcohol is “we’re not paying for that”.

I have also heard people voice concerns about what happens to the children when the government money is taken away? Be reasonable, if a person is smoking, drinking or shooting up their money (including selling food stamps) every month, how many physical needs of the child are truly being met. What kind of environment is a child living in when the person or persons who are supposed to be taking care of them are strung out? Whether the government stops payments or the money goes up in smoke, the money is there for the child. This will be the time where people will have to choose between their drugs and their kids. If people choose the drugs over their kids, then the kids need to be relocated into a more nurturing and positive environment anyway.

Don’t get me wrong, I think there needs to be an implementation process that helps people to get clean as well as some sort of reaching out to potential applicants with substance abuse histories. I think I’m being nice in that assertion because when the government was going to cut people off of unemployment, it was virtually without notice. This is just the tip of the iceberg on my rant about public assistance, I think that system needs a complete and total overhaul, anyway.

If I have to test to get MY money, I damn sure think those on assistance need to test to get my money too. Yup, I said it.

Get Off The Cross – We Need The Wood! Nobody Jailed For Sending Black Kids To White School

Get Off The Cross – We Need The Wood! Nobody Jailed For Sending Black Kids To White School: "

By now, most people are aware of the case of the Ohio woman who was sentenced to 10 days in jail, 2 years probation and 80 hours of community service for violation of a school residency requirement. Kelley Williams-Bolar used her father’s address to send her two daughters to a school outside of their school district. Bolar was also a teacher’s aide seeking her Ohio teaching certificate but is now ineligible because she has been convicted on one count of falsification of records, however, she was granted a mistrial on the charge of grand theft because the jury could not reach a decision on the grand theft charge. If you want to read more about the case click here.

Now that the story is out there, I can get started on my rant. I am absolutely sick and tired of people hopping on the “it’s because they’re black” bandwagon. Is this story unfortunate? Yes it is but lets have some real talk here…….here are the realities:

Bolar used her father’s address to enroll her children into a district other than the one she lived in. Since she knowingly used her father’s address, she knew that her daughter’s were not supposed to be going to the school where she was enrolling them. Where I’m from, that’s fraud, no matter her reason for doing it, in the eyes of the law, it’s still fraud……..sorry for ya luck.

Secondly, the school that she had fraudulently sent her kids to, does have an out of district enrollment policy, that policy consists of $800.00 per month for tuition. Okay, work with me here, if a person is supposed to pay for a service and then intentionally lies to get out of paying for that service, is that not theft? If she was not trying to intentionally dodge the tuition, there would have been no need for her to have filled out fake forms, right, or am I missing something? Let’s do a little math, $800 bucks a month for 9 months, for two kids (mmm carry the 1) comes out to be $28,880.

Why should this school district be forced to eat the cost of services that were stolen from them? From what I read, it’s procedure for the family who has fraudulently enrolled their kids in school for the parents to pay the school tuition and move their kids back where they are supposed to go to school. Bolar apparently didn’t have the money, was that more than likely why she dipped out on the tuition in the first place? When you can’t pay for services you steal, they take you to jail, that is not new shit.

There are claims that Bolar was fined $30,000. I have yet to read a report that said she was responsible for a $30,000 fine, I did read that the school district had damages in excess of $30,000 (tuition and the 6k it cost to investigate Bolar and her girls). As a matter of fact, had the court ordered for Bolar to pay the school the money that she rightfully owes them, the court would not be out of line, that’s what the court does when people steal from one another.

I am not a cold-hearted person but I am a realist. I completely “get” that Ms. Bolar was trying to give her daughters a better education and I don’t blame her for that but she took an informed risk. I say that it’s an informed risk because Bolar knew the possible consequences of her actions, she felt her girls were worth the risk and she did what she thought was best. I don’t fault her for that either, but when one takes a risk they have to be prepared to take whatever comes next.

This is not a case of black and white (although some will argue that they made an example out of her because of her race), it’s a case that she gambled and lost……..that’s life.

Woman Alleges She Found Maggot In Her KFC Meal: "

All of a sudden, going to Iowa to eat in Flava Flav’s new chicken restaurant doesn’t sound all that bad.  A San Fernando, California woman has reported that she found a maggot in her meal purchased at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

On Monday night, the woman purchased a bucket of chicken and took it home for her family’s dinner.  The woman’s son discovered the little morsel of extra protein and the woman began vomiting immediately.  After about 15-20 minutes the rest of her family began to complain of stomach aches and that is when she bagged up the evidence and took the chicken and her family to the doctor.  The doctor administered the family IV fluids and antibiotics.  I don’t know about you but I feel a lawsuit coming on.

Chicago 4-Year-Old Makes Candy Run At 3 In The Morning

Chicago 4-Year-Old Makes Candy Run At 3 In The Morning: "

For those of you who are skeptical about sugar being an addictive substance, this story might change your mind.  A 4-year-old boy slipped out of his suburban home in the wee hours of the morning on Monday to make an early morning candy run.  I can’t say that he was a dumb kid by any means, the 4-year-old had a craving for candy and was determined to go up to the gas station to see if he could get some.

The boy was spotted by a motorist at about 3:30am and called 911, the police followed the boot prints, located the boy and took him home.  His mother had a bed alarm that went off when he got out of bed but it is reported that she slept through it, she has not been charged.

I would not find this story nearly as amusing had something happened to him but just thinking that this kid was on such a mission that he had specific destination in mind and had enough common sense to put on  his boots before his journey makes it known that this kid was not bullshittin….lol, he used more common sense than I see in a lot of grown folks these days.

Taco Bell Sued For Calling It’s Mystery Meat “Seasoned Beef”

Taco Bell Sued For Calling It’s Mystery Meat “Seasoned Beef”: "

Ever wonder why Taco Bell is one of America’s most low cost fast food?  The reason is coming to light in an Alabama courtroom.  A lawyer has filed suit against the fast food chain that demands that Taco Bell tell people what is in their meat.  The suit also alleges that Taco Bell is misleading the public by calling it’s filler based meat product “seasoned beef”.

According to the lawsuit, Taco Bell’s meat is filled with binders and the results of the meat testing showed that the meat mixture is less than 36% beef, which is less than the USDA requires for a product to be considered beef.  Further contained in the suit, other products found in the meat mixture are water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodrextrin, anti-dusting agent and modified corn starch.

The lawsuit is not seeking any monetary damages, the goal of the lawsuit is for Taco Bell to stop advertising it’s products as having “seasoned beef” and to stop deceiving the public that their product is healthier than it really is.

Woman Forced Into Motel After Man Breaks Into Her Home To Watch Football

Woman Forced Into Motel After Man Breaks Into Her Home To Watch Football: "

I’ve said it once and I will say it again, some people have more nerve than they have sense, not to mention the balls the size of Texas.  Ronta Rasheona Epps from Des Moines, Ia had a restraining order against Freddrick Cleaven Little, a resident of the local downtown YMCA.  Epps complained to police that Little had camped out in her place to watch the NFL playoffs on her television.  She moved to a motel on the other side of town and told police that he had previously moved into her place without her knowing.  When police went to investigate, they spotted Little through the window but he refused to answer the door.

Police entered the home with a key provided by Epps and found this dumbass hiding in an upstairs bathroom (nah, no one would ever think to look for him there…).  He was arrested on charges of third-degree burglary and violation of a no-contact order. Police said he currently is on probation for attempted burglary.  He is currently being held without bond.  The report did not elaborate as to how Little continued to gain access to the residence.

I wonder if either of HIS teams went to the Superbowl, mine didn’t.

Man Arrives Home To Find Naked Robber Asleep On Couch

Man Arrives Home To Find Naked Robber Asleep On Couch: "

20-year-old Justin Barker of Hudson, Florida told police that he needed to stop drinking.  This comes on the heels of his arrest for a string of break-ins that occurred in a Florida neighborhood that night.  Barker apparently broke into 2 homes that night, in the first burglary, he broke the glass to gain entrance to the home, in the process, he cut himself on the glass and witnesses saw him running up the street naked.

Barker was discovered at the scene of the 2nd burglary where he broke a lamp and then passed out on the couch.  The homeowner discovered him there and called the police.  Barker was so tanked that he did not wake up until after the police had him in cuffs.  I think that Barker told the police the truth…….his ass needs to stop drinking.

Is Social Networking The Fast Track Into Bed? Experts Think So

Is Social Networking The Fast Track Into Bed? Experts Think So: "

According to research experts, we have left the age of “booty calls” and entered the new age of “booty walls”, posting that is.  According to a recent study, the use of social network sites and texting has cut down on the time that it takes to get people into bed.

“(Reuters Life!) – Nearly four out of five women and three of five men say they believe texting, Facebook and other social networking tools cause new couples to jump into bed faster, a survey released on Monday showed.

But only 38 percent of women say they have actually slept with a date any sooner because of digital intimacy, according to the 1,200 women and men who participated in the third annual sex survey by Shape and Men’s Fitness magazines.

Smart phones and laptops are the new toys that lead to the bedroom, it said, with nearly 80 percent of women and 58 percent of men saying social media tools leads to sex faster.

Texting is the No. 1 way lovers stay in touch, the survey found, with men texting 39 percent more often than phoning and women 150 percent more.

Even before the magic begins, 70 percent of women and 63 percent of men use Google and other online tools to screen potential dates.

Sixty-five percent of those polled said they had been asked out by text and 49 percent through a Facebook message.

Once the relationship clicks, 72 percent of women report scouring a current partner’s ex-girlfriends’ Facebook pages.

Even in the heat of passion, some people just can’t get enough of their digital devices, the survey found. When a call or text comes in during sex, 5 percent of respondents said they glance to see who is calling and 1 percent say they stop to answer the phone.

And when the spark is extinguished, digital dumping is the new way to break up, with 43 percent of women and 27 percent of men reporting getting a text along the lines of “It’s not you, it’s me.”

For the heartbroken, the Internet keeps hope alive, with 81 percent of all respondents saying they won’t de-friend an ex on Facebook and 75 percent admitting to constantly checking a former sweetheart’s page.”

Teen Sues Golf Club After Hitting Himself In Eye With Ball

Teen Sues Golf Club After Hitting Himself In Eye With Ball: "

I am the quintessential queen of doing stupid shit, including but not limited to, walking into glass walls, falling for no reason and a host of other epic fails but I have never, in my 40 years sued anyone for shit that just “happens’.  I guess that society is continuing to teach young kids that anything that happens to them is their fault and we as adults wonder why they walk around with such a sense of entitlement.  Okay, enough of my rant, I’ll just get to the point.

15-year-old Alex Good from Hillsboro, Oregon was practicing with his golf team at the Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club last April when it began to rain.  The golf club advised the team to erect an awning with a mat so they could continue practicing, goodness knows it is a GREAT idea to have a bunch of kids swinging metal golf clubs in the rain….anyway, Alex swings his club, hits the ball and the ball ricochets off of one of the awning’s poles and dots his eye.  Now, Alex is suing the golf club for a million dollars to pay for injuries that he sustained.  Hell, I cracked a bone in my face a few years ago when the snowmobile I was riding flipped over and I didn’t sue the makers of the snowmobile for the accident, that’s why they are called “accidents” and not “on purposes”.  IF he gets a dime, I hope he uses it to buy some sense.

“Hillsboro, Oregon – Alex Good, a 15-year-old Oregon teen is suing a local golf club for millions of dollars after he reportedly struck himself in the eye with his own golf ball.

According to court documents, Good – a member of the Liberty High School Golf Team – was practicing with other team mates at the Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club last April when it reportedly began to rain.

Staff members of the Golf Club quickly set up an awning next to the practice range to provide shelter from the rain.

Good reportedly teed off from a driving mat that was placed just a few inches from one of the metal posts that held up the awning. When Good struck the ball, it reportedly ricocheted off the metal post and struck him in the eye.

The injury has required several surgeries to correct and doctor’s say Good may lose some vision in his eye.

Good’s lawyer claims the Golf Glub should have known the metal pole was a danger. He is suing the Golf Club for $3 Million Dollars, claiming negligence. The Golf Club is not commenting on the case because of the pending litigation.”

Woman Arrested For Being Just Plain Nasty

Woman Arrested For Being Just Plain Nasty: "

Benjamin Franklin once said “house guests are like fish, they both start to smell after 3 days”.  Middletown, CT woman Delight Watrous didn’t need 3 days.  According to police, Watrous was visiting another woman when she needed to use the bathroom, instead of going to the restroom like most civilized people, Watrous did her business in a corner of the woman’s house.  When confronted by the woman, Watrous grabbed the woman’s leg and bit her on the inner thigh.  How Watrous escaped an old school beat down is way beyond me cause had that been MY house, we’d have both been in jail, her for assault and me for attempted murder………I’m just sayin.

“Middletown, Connecticut- Delight Watrous, a 41-year-old Connecticut woman was jailed after she allegedly urinated in the corner of another woman’s home before taking a bite out of her leg.

According to Middletown Police, Watrous was a guest in another woman’s home when she needed to use the bathroom. Instead of using the restroom, however, Watrous reportedly walked to a corner of the house and began urinating on the floor.

When the homeowner confronted Watrous about the incident, Watrous reportedly grabbed the woman’s leg and bit her on the inner thigh. When officers arrived on the scene, they found a “fresh bite mark” that was bleeding on the woman’s leg.

Woman Who Fell Into Fountain While Texting, Not So Innocent After All [Video]

Woman Who Fell Into Fountain While Texting, Not So Innocent After All [Video]: "

Okay, I know, I know, this video went viral the other day and in all honesty, since it was all over the place, I started not to post it.  What changed my mind was the additional information I found out about Cathy A. Cruz Marrero, the woman who fell into the fountain.  My dad used to tell me that “G_d don’t like ugly and ain’t too crazy about pretty”, never a truer word spoken.

Apparently, Marrero was arrested in October 2009 for racking up over $5,000.00 worth of charges on a credit card she stole from a co-worker.  Additionally, she has a few other theft cases pending and has also caught a case for hit and run.  So, I’m sure we all think this video is funny as hell but I’m sure it’s not as funny to us as it is to the people she’s harmed.  Folks need to quit messin with Karma, it doesn’t need to keep proving itself….lol.

Teens Caught Robbing Snow Stuck Motorist After Getting Stuck Themselves

Teens Caught Robbing Snow Stuck Motorist After Getting Stuck Themselves: "

I guess I should just call today’s entries “Today in That’s What You Get” news.  The Midwest got nailed over the past few days with snow and it seems that 3 opportunistic teens decided to take advantage of the situation by robbing motorists that were stuck in the snow.  The 3 teens were apprehended when they got stuck in the snow………and that’s what they get.

“Kansas City, MO – Three teens accused of robbing motorists stuck in the snow have been caught after – you guessed it – they got stuck in the snow themselves.

Prosecutors announced robbery and armed criminal action charges Friday against 18-year-old Darion O. Page of Kansas City, a 17-year-old and a 16-year-old.

The Kansas City Star reported that police found the teens stuck in a snowdrift early Thursday morning.

The victims’ credit cards were among the items found in their vehicle.

Court documents say the 17-year-old denied participating in the robberies and told police that all he did was drive.

The documents say Page admitted being present, but he blamed the holdups on the 16-year-old. The Star says that teen declined to make a statement.”

Man Arrested For Arson When Police Find His Fingertip At Scene

Man Arrested For Arson When Police Find His Fingertip At Scene: "

Ismael Ortiz (right) has been charged with arson in an arson-for-hire (hired by Samuel Davis (left) ) in a fire that destroyed a home in Brevard County, Florida.  During the fire investigation, the police discovered evidence of the use of accelerants to start the fire in addition to a latex glove with a fingertip still inside.  Who needs fingerprints when you have the finger?  Many suspects try to explain away physical evidence found at a crime scene, I’m not really sure how Ortiz plans to explain away leaving his fingertip somewhere he had no business being in the first place.  Good luck with that, police are still looking for Samuel Davis…..

” Florida – Police arrested a suspect in an arsonist-for-hire in Titusville after they said he made a critical mistake — he left the tip of his finger at the scene of the crime.

Meanwhile, detectives are seeking the public’s help in finding the man they say was trying to pull off an insurance scam by burning down his house.

Police were called to a fire at a home on North Dixie Avenue about 11:15 a.m. Saturday.

While they were investigating, police said, they discovered evidence of accelerants, leading them to determine that the fire was likely an arson.

Then, while sifting through evidence, officers got a tip — literally. They found a piece of a latex glove with the tip of a finger inside.

Police said they found their suspect at a local hospital. They matched the tip to 24-year-old Ismael Ortiz, who detectives said quickly confessed.

But how did the suspect clip his tip? Detective Jessica Edens explained: Trying to flee after setting the fire, “he slammed his finger in the door,” Edens said, “and it cut the tip of his finger off.”

Police said Ortiz told detectives he was hired by a resident of the home, Samuel “Sammy” Davis. Investigators said Davis hired Ortiz to burn down the house so he could collect on a renters insurance policy.

Police said they recovered several pieces of evidence, including items they said Davis hid “so that they would be spared from the fire.”

Edens said Ortiz was arrested and booked into the Brevard County Jail.

Police are still looking for Davis. He was described as 58 years old and bald with gray facial hair and blue eyes.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call the Titusville Police Department or the Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477.”

Business Cards Lead Police To Arrest Of Drug Dealers

Business Cards Lead Police To Arrest Of Drug Dealers: "

Everybody has to have a hustle and professionalism is the name of the game but if you are going to go for a branded image, you should make your business a legal one.  Two New York men have been arrested for running a high end cocaine and marijuana ring after an informant presented the police with the business card that Thomas Zenon and Migel Guzman were using to advertise their services.

Guzman was on his way to a drop when he was arrested with 16 grams of cocaine, more than $1,600 cash and four cellphones. Zenon was arrested at a restaurant with more than $600 in addition to 20 bags of marijuana found in his car.  I guess the next card these two businessmen will hand out will have their inmate numbers on them.  Pure genius.

7-Year-Old Boy Suspended For Holding His “Hand” Gun In School

7-Year-Old Boy Suspended For Holding His “Hand” Gun In School: "

Well it appears as if schools now suspends kids for just being kids.  7-year-old Patrick Riley was suspended for being in possession of a handgun at school, and when I say handgun,  I mean the imaginary gun that kids make with their hands when they are playing cops n robbers or some shit.  Patrick had made such gestures in school before and was sent home for the rest of the day but was told that if he did it again, the punishment would be more severe.  First, I don’t know how many 7-year-olds really know what the hell “severe” means but anyhow, in a school assembly, Patrick and a friend made the hand gestures and pretended to shoot at a wall……….he was suspended.  If Patrick learned nothing else, he learned two new words, “severe” and “ridiculous”.

“Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – Patrick Riley, a 7-year-old first grader, was was suspended from school after he was reportedly found to be in possession of a hand gun…. and by hand gun, we mean his hand, with his finger pointed “like” a gun.

According Oklahoma City authorities, a student at Parkview Elementary School made a gun gesture with his fingers and pretended to shoot it at the wall with a classmate while attending a school assembly.

Investigators say the school principal asked the child to go home for the remainder of the day, and told him if he ever did it again his punishment would be more severe.

“Him (Riley) and a little girl were just getting bored at an assembly and doing some target practice at the wall,” Fox said.

Fox said she met with the school principal on Tuesday. She said they decided to “agree to disagree” on the matter.

Midwest City-Del City School District officials state that the boy has a history of making this gesture. The child’s mother believes that the school has overreacted.

The story comes on the heels of another incident at an Oklahoma City school where a teacher had a student arrested for having possession of a magic marker.”

Man Arrested For Making Bombs To Clear Snow

Man Arrested For Making Bombs To Clear Snow: "

Somebody’s mother is really really proud.  An Abington, MA man was arrested for making bombs to blow up the snow so he didn’t have to shovel.  I know they use explosives to start controlled avalanches but to just do it because one is too damned lazy to shovel is pure insanity.

Leo Powers, age 23 is being charged with threats to commit a crime and possession of incendiary devices, genius.

“ABINGTON — an Abington man is being charged with creating bombs at his former address in Abington after police had been told the man was blowing up snow banks to avoid shoveling the snow.

Abington Police Chief David Majenski said Leo J. Powers, 23, with a last known address of 45 Margaret Road, Abington, is being charged with threats to commit a crime and possession of incendiary devices.

After serving Powers with an emergency restraining order at a rooming house he was staying in on Washington Street in Abington, police learned Powers had a box of ammunition and a box with ‘some sort of powder’ in it at his former address, according to Majenski.

According to Majenski, police were told Powers had devised a way to use the materials to blow up snow banks instead of shoveling the snow and had been doing it for some time.

Majenski said when police and fire officials arrived at the house, the discovered a container filled with ‘military-grade ammunition and other stuff, including powders of some sort.’

The Massachusetts State Police Bomb Squad was called in and the power was sent to a lab for testing.

“The results came back Saturday morning that the powder was indeed an explosive material,” Majenski said.

Powers was not arrested that night because police were not sure that the powder was explosive. They needed to get it tested first. But Majenski said Powers will soon be summonsed to court on the charges filed by the police department.

Powers, who has a firearms license, was told he needed to surrender all his weapons. He handed over a pistol and a shotgun to police, according to Majenski.

“And I have revoked his license to carry,” Majenski said. ‘Meanwhile, we’re investigating where he got all the weapons we confiscated and the powder. He said he got them at gun shows in Springfield but we are looking into that.’”

Man Sues Hooker For Breach Of Contract And Emotional Trauma

Man Sues Hooker For Breach Of Contract And Emotional Trauma: "

I crawl the net every single day for stories to put on my blog but this is the first time that posting took me forever because I was laughing too damned hard to type.  Hubert Blackman, a college student from New York, filed suit in a New York court against the agency he hired his hooker from when he was vacationing in Las Vegas.

Blackman contracted for a stripper to come to his room and perform a lap dance for $155.00 and to have sex with him for an additional $120.00, somehow I think the numbers are backwards but onward and forward.  Blackman contacted Las Vegas Exclusive Personals to ask for a refund because his strip-whore was supposed to have stayed for an hour but left after 30 minutes.  I am cryin laughing at the fact that Blackman received managed a lap dance and to complete his sex act, all of inside 30 minutes…….*ROLLIN*! I’m not sure if I would have told that, anyhow, the company refused to give the man a refund so instead of just being pissed, chalk it up to experience (or inexperience, whichever the case), this brand new fool calls the police to lodge a complaint.

The police department advised Blackman that if he wanted to pursue the case that he would be arrested for the services in the first place (that is what he claims traumatized him) … duh!  Since that didn’t work out for him, when he got back to New York, he pulls the bitchiest of all bitch moves and hires a lawyer to sue the company claiming “An escort did an illegal sexual act on me during her paid service to me” and “I almost had gotten arrested.”  He is seeking for the business to be closed, a refund of his $275.00 and $1.8 million dollars for being traumatized.  Doesn’t this jackass ever watch “Judge Judy”?  You can’t sue for damages during an illegal transaction, that’s like buying bad dope and then suing the dealer because you didn’t get high, what kind of shit is that?  I wonder if this thirsty dude realizes he’s been ganked twice, once by the hooker and another by the lawyer……..I thought people this stupid had to be created in a lab, I guess not, some people are really just born that way.  I hope he’s not majoring in law.

“Las Vegas -A tourist says he was traumatized when Las Vegas police threatened to arrest him after he complained about an act of prostitution in his hotel room.

Hubert Blackman of New York City filed a lawsuit this month against a Las Vegas company he identified as Las Vegas Exclusive Personals. The lawsuit says the business operates on Paradise Road.

Blackman, a college student, said in an interview Thursday that he was on vacation and staying at the Stratosphere on Dec. 17 when he called Las Vegas Exclusive Personals to arrange for a stripper to come to his room and dance for him.

Blackman said the woman, who appeared to be in her mid 20s, stripped and performed a lap dance for $155 and a sex act for another $120.

He said that the next morning, he called Las Vegas Exclusive Personals to demand his money back, saying he was dissatisfied because the entertainer didn’t stay for the promised one hour and left after a half hour.

Blackman said he also told the company he was incapable of making an informed agreement with the stripper because he was drunk at the time.

Dissatisfied when Las Vegas Exclusive Personals didn’t arrange for a refund, Blackman said he contacted Metro Police and was told he faced arrest for such conduct and was advised to contact the Better Business Bureau.

Instead, after returning home he filed suit in federal court in New York, charging “An escort did an illegal sexual act on me during her paid service to me” and “I almost had gotten arrested.”

Blackman said he now needs medical treatment for a mental condition related to the incident.

In the suit, which he filed without an attorney, Blackman said: ‘I would like the court to close the business. I also would like to get my $275 payment back and a $1.8 million verdict for the tragic event that happened.’

In the interview Thursday, Blackman said it was the dancer who solicited the sex act — but he acknowledged he was aware at the time that prostitution was illegal in Las Vegas.

The number listed in Blackman’s lawsuit is used by Hillsboro Enterprises, which says it’s been licensed for 17 years and provides adult dancers on a subcontractor outcall basis.

Officials at Hillsboro said Thursday they were unaware of the lawsuit or of Blackman’s claims, but denied the company is involved in prostitution. They said if anyone calls looking to hire a dancer and indicates they’re looking for sex, they’re told prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas and all of Clark County.”

Teacher Placed On Leave After Second-Graders Perform Oral Sex In Class

Teacher Placed On Leave After Second-Graders Perform Oral Sex In Class: "

My first reaction to this story was “WHAT THE HELL?”  An Oakland, California teacher has been placed on leave pending investigation of two second-graders performing oral sex in class.  The teacher claims that she is not aware of such incidents, however, the school became aware of the situation through another student in her class.  The two questions that stick out in my mind are “where did they learn that behavior?” and “what the hell was the teacher doing that she missed this behavior on more than one occasion?”  Of course the school says they are embarrassed about the situation and have brought counselors into the school as well as have sent letters home to advise parents of the situation.  It seems to me that the school should be much more embarrassed about the fact that the teachers who are in those classrooms have no idea what’s going on when they are in the room, let alone if they step out for a minute.  I could turn the Grand Canyon into a domed stadium with all of the red flags that came up for me while I was reading these shenanigans.

“OAKLAND — A second-grade teacher has been placed on administrative leave amid an investigation into a report that two of his students engaged in oral sex during class and that, on a separate occasion, some children took off some of their clothing and were clowning around.

The incidents happened last week at Markham Elementary School, but they only came to the principal’s attention Wednesday, after one of the students told a staff member what had happened, Oakland school district spokesman Troy Flint said.

The teacher was present at the time, but says he was unaware of any such incident, Flint said.

The district conducted a number of interviews Thursday to verify the child’s report. While some of the details remain vague — such as when the two incidents occurred, and if they happened at the same time, Flint said. “We believe the substance of the story is true,” he said.

Counselors have been brought to the school, and a letter went home to families Thursday, Flint said.

‘Obviously it’s a horrible situation for the kids, and it’s a huge embarrassment for the school and for the district,’ Flint said.

‘We are striving to create schools as safe havens where students can feel secure and trust in adult guidance,’ he added. ‘Obviously, that trust was violated in this incident, which was unacceptable. We’re going to get to the bottom of this and make sure there’s no recurrence. ‘”

Teen Posts Threatening Video On Facebook To Get Re-Enrolled In School

Teen Posts Threatening Video On Facebook To Get Re-Enrolled In School: "

What in the world ever happened to the words “please” and “thank you”?  Nevermind, that, how about not getting kicked out of school in the first place?  18-year old Judge McGriff is being held in a Texas jail in lieu of $10,000 bail for posting videos to Facebook and Youtube threatening to kill two Crosby High School assistant principals, one of whom is pregnant.  In his video, he threatens not only the life of the principals but the life of the unborn baby as well, all as an attempt to get them to allow him to re-enroll in school.

McGriff was kicked out of school in November for being in possession of contraband prescription medication and sent to an alternative school.  McGriff claims they were wrong for kicking him out of school in the first place…..I’m sure this incident isn’t helping his case any.  McGriff’s attorney has requested a psychological evaluation of McGriff as his attorney thinks McGriff may have some issues.  Ya think?

“Houston – A Crosby is being held in lieu of a $10,000 bail after being accused of posting a video onlinen which he threatened to kill two assistant principals, one of whom is pregnant.

Judge McGriff, 18, allegedly put a video on Facebook and YouTube in which he threatened both assistants principals and said, “I will stab you and your unborn baby.”

One of the principals saw the video online this month.

In November, McGriff was caught with contraband prescription medication and sent to an alternative school, according to court records. He posted the threatening videos in an effort to be re-enrolled in his school.

According to court records, McGriff said in the video that one of the assistant principals, “should not have kicked him out of school.”

McGriff appeared in state District Judge Jim Wallace’s court this morning on charges of retaliation, a third-degree felony. If convicted, he faces a punishment ranging from two to 10 years in prison.

McGriff’s attorney, Steven Greenlee, said he suspects the teen has some emotional and psychological problems and has requested a psychiatric evaluation.”

Cook Gets Jailtime For Putting Chest Hair In Cop’s Sandwich

Cook Gets Jailtime For Putting Chest Hair In Cop’s Sandwich: "

How bright does one have to be to figure out that if you put hair on someone’s sandwich, they are going to find it?  Apparently you have to be smarter than Ryan Burke of Evesham, NJ who pleaded guilty to putting chest hair on a police officer’s turkey, egg and cheese bagel.  27-year old Burke claims that he had issues with the officer over a run in prior to the hairy sandwich incident.  If that’s not bad enough, the hairs that were on the uneaten half of the cop’s morning meal were sent to the lab for DNA analysis and results were conclusive that the hairs belonged to Burke.  I’m sure that the New Jersey taxpayers are just overjoyed that their tax dollars have been used to determine the rightful owner of some nasty ass chest hair found on a sandwich.  What kind of assclown pulls out his own chest hair anyway?  Oh, this one in Evesham, apparently.  Gross.

Burke was sentenced to 15 days in jail and 2 years probation he also gains the coveted title of “ex-cook” ………..

“EVESHAM — How much time in the slammer does one deserve for putting pubic and chest hairs in a police officer’s breakfast sandwich?

At least 15 days and two years of probation, according to one Superior Court judge in Mount Holly.

Ryan Burke, a former cook at a Marlton restaurant, earned that sentence last week after pleading guilty to charges he doctored an Evesham officer’s turkey, egg and cheese bagel sandwich with a few choice morsels.

The 27-year-old will serve his jail time on weekends, according to police.

Burke was a line cook at Good Foods to Go last February when he put the body hair in the sandwich of an officer who had stopped by the restaurant along Merchants Way, police said.

It wasn’t the first time Burke and the officer had crossed paths; a year earlier, the officer stopped Burke for a traffic violation.

Police said at the time of his arrest, Burke confessed to defiling the sandwich and said he did so because of ill will toward the officer.

As the for the partially consumed sandwich itself, police said they confiscated it and sent the hairs to the state police lab for analysis.

The hairs were ultimately determined to be a match to a DNA swab taken from Burke. While Burke, who was immediately fired from restaurant, told a reporter the charges were ‘ridiculous’ after his arrest, he ultimately pleaded guilty to aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and retaliation for a past official action, police said.

Reached at his home on Tuesday, Burke declined comment.

He was sentenced Friday by Judge Charles Delehey.”

Man Jailed For Calling 911 To Order Hooker: "

This 41-year old Rhodes Scholar (not really) was arrested for attempting to order a hooker from 911.  Evidently, he called an told the dispatch that he wanted a hooker and also an escort to “get boots”.  The operator warned Lonnie Felts that he was calling the wrong number, I guess Felts thought that dispatch was kidding because instead of taking the opportunity to not let anyone else see how short sided he is, he called back twice more.

“Lexington, North Carolina – Lonnie Michael Felts, a 42-year-old Lexington man was jailed Sunday after he reportedly called 911 in attempt to find a hooker.

According to the Lexington Police Department, Felts called the Davidson County 911 emergency system and requested a hooker and also an escort to “get boots.” The dispatcher informed him that he was mistakenly calling 911.

Investigators say after Felts was warned, he continued to call two more times with the same requests for hookers. Detectives apprehended him and stated that he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident.

Felts was booked into jail and charged with accessing the 911 system for a purpose other than an emergency communication. He was released after posting a $2,000 unsecured bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on April 20th.”

Teacher Faces Charges For Locking Student In Cage [Video]

Teacher Faces Charges For Locking Student In Cage [Video]: "

I am no stranger to working with unruly children after spending over 10 years working with children who were diagnosed with behavior disorders.  There are a million and one things that you’d love to do to unruly kids but professional etiquette not to mention the law says that you just keep those ideas to yourself.  Apparently this Santa Fe, New Mexico teacher missed that memo and acted on her emotions when she locked her 15-year old unruly student in an outside cage.

The 15-year old sat in the cage for a few minutes before kicking the cage open to free himself.  I’m sure the teacher would deny the charges but it’s going to be pretty hard to explain away the camera phone footage.  This is another case for the “just because you have a degree doesn’t necessarily make you smart” file.

“SANTA FE, N.M. — A Santa Fe High School teacher is on paid administrative leave after cell phone videos show her locking a student in an outdoor cage, according to police.

Police said the 15-year-old student sat in the cold for minutes before he kicked the gate to free himself. The punishment could be criminal, police said.

‘You can see the teacher locking him up,’ said Santa Fe Police Detective Sgt. Louis Carlos of a cell phone video.

On Jan. 7, a freshman boy was acting out in shop class. Instead of being sent to detention, Carlos said the female teacher had other students help drag the boy outside and lock him in a cage.

‘They keep chemicals in this cage, (like) motor oil, and things not good for you,’ Carlos said. ‘(The teacher) could face child abuse and false imprisonment charges.’

The teen is seen waving to classmates from inside the fenced cage on the cell phone video. Police said he’s now out of the state because of the traumatizing event.

‘It’s disturbing because it’s not right,’ Carlos said.

Santa Fe Schools Superintendent Bobbi Gutierrez said the teacher in question is Abigail Fox, and she’s worked for the district for at least 10 years. The name of the student won’t be released because he’s a minor.

Police said they will soon forward their information to the district attorney, who will decide if there’s enough evidence to charge Fox.”

Teens Rescued After Sex Doll Water Rafting Accident

Teens Rescued After Sex Doll Water Rafting Accident: "

When I read the warning label on packages, I often wonder to myself “who’s stupid enough to do THAT?”.  Well, now I know, it looks as if inflatable sex dolls are going to need additional warning labels since these two Australian knuckleheads tried to use theirs as flotation rafts on their last float trip.

I know that common sense ain’t so common but I didn’t think it had reached total extinction just yet but now I beg to differ.

“Melbourne, Australia – A 19-year-old Australian couple had to be rescued by authorities Sunday after they reportedly attempted to float down a flooded river on an inflatable sex dolls.

According to Australian authorities, a witness called 000 to report that a man and a woman screamed for help while floating down the swollen Yarra River near Warrandyte North on a pair of inflatable sex dolls.

The woman eventually lost her grip on her doll, and was clinging for dear life to a tree in the water when help arrived. They were rescued by a kayaker who brought life jackets and assisted them until rescue crews arrived. The teens were evaluated by paramedics, but did not need any medical assistance.

Investigators say there have been 50 water rescues in the last week due to flooding in the area. There were people in genuine need of assistance, so authorities were not amused by the couple’s antics.

The fate of the inflatable doll is unknown, according to Senior Constable, Wayne Wilson.

Australian authorities also wished to remind thrill-seekers that an inflatable doll does not qualify as certified flotation device.”

Niece of Princess Diana Arrested After Brawl In McDonald’s Drive Thru

Niece of Princess Diana Arrested After Brawl In McDonald’s Drive Thru: "

First rule of hand-to-hand combat is to not underestimate your opponent, even if your opponent is Amelia, the 18-year old niece of the late Princess Diana.  Seems that Amelia was arrested in Cape Town, South Africa after beating a man unconscious in the drive-thru of a McDonald’s restaurant.  I have no idea why people don’t act a total fool at Burger King or something, they always seem to lose their damn minds at McDonald’s, could it be something in the food that keep em coming back for more?  Who knows?

“Cape Town, South Africa – The enigma of strange behavior that a simple McDonald’s restaurant seems to attract doesn’t just limit itself to deviates and drive-thru drunks. It appears to have captured the lunacy of royalty alike.

Lady Amelia Spencer, the 18-year-old niece of Princess Diana was charged with assault after she allegedly became engaged in brawl that left a man unconscious at a McDonald’s drive thru.

According to police, Lady Amelia became enraged when a taxi beat her to the drive thru lane of a Cape Town McDonalds.

Investigators say she jumped out of her Mini Cooper, banged on the taxi and then hurled drunken four-lettered words at the taxi’s passenger, 27-year-old Ricci Cinti. A male friend who was with Amelia reportedly popped out and joined the argument.

Cinti, who was on crutches due to a recent football injury, was then pulled out of the taxi and knocked to the ground where he was rendered unconscious for a few moments. He was later taken to a local hospital where he was treated for a concussion and a swollen jaw.

Lady Amelia and her friend fled the scene, however witnesses took down her license plate number and called police.

Earl Spencer, the 46-year-old father of Amelia and brother to Princess Diana defended his daughter by stating she was merely defending herself. He did not go on to say how defending herself explained what witnesses saw at the scene, but instead concluded that Cinti fell on his own head.

Although the incident occurred back in late December, it wasn’t made public until a few days ago.

Cinti, who works as a self employed “fitter” told local press “She was pretty and well dressed, but I had no idea she was a Lady – and she certainly didn’t act like one.”

By which we can only reply.

Cinti….. it’s the same curse that haunts McDonalds restaurants across the world. Like a fly zapper attracts a fly, it was only a matter of time before one of those flies arrived in a Mini Cooper and pearls.”

Cartoon Character “Hello Kitty” May Send A Man To Jail

Cartoon Character “Hello Kitty” May Send A Man To Jail: "

It’s been said that everything is bigger in Texas, apparently, Texas has it’s fair share of super-sized stupidity.  On January 12th, 32-year old Rudy Rivera donned his jeans and red hoodie to rob a local hair salon.  Rivera made it out of the salon with the cash and a check…A check…ONE and it was imprinted with “Hello Kitty” on the front.  When Rivera was arrested at the home he shares with his mommy, he was still in possession of some of the cash as well as the check.  Is anyone really shocked that he was still in possession of the check?  I am, why not just throw that away?  It’s not like a grown ass man trying to cash a “Hello Kitty” check written payable to a business would look suspicious or anything.  I guess being a criminal is like any other job, either you’re good at it, or your not…he’s fired.

“SAN ANTONIO — The cartoon character, “Hello Kitty,” could have a west side man saying goodbye to his freedom.

The drawing on a stolen check was part of the evidence that San Antonio police said linked Rudy Rivera, 32, to the January 12 robbery of J.D.’s Hair Salon in the 600 block of Ceralvo Street.The arrest affidavit showed that witnesses reported the robber, dressed in a red hooded sweatshirt and jeans, pointed a gun at an employee before running away with cash and a check from the register.Police said the check was imprinted with the cartoon character, “Hello Kitty.”

After following up on a tip, police searched a home Rivera shares with his grandmother and located the clothing, a pellet gun and pellet rifle, some cash and the stolen check, the affidavit said.According to the affidavit, witnesses also told police the robber had a noticeable limp, something Rivera has from a previous gunshot wound.Rivera was arrested Saturday on a charge of aggravated robbery.”
