AND I THOUGHT MY DENTIST WAS BAD!

Pennsylvania – Authorities say a pair of crooked Pennsylvania dental office employees ran an after-hours, word-of-mouth operation where they performed root canals, pulled teeth and installed braces without proper training. A grand jury report alleges 45-year-old dental assistant Cheryl Laing (right) and 24-year-old receptionist Jessica Gullickson used the Bryn Mawr dental practice where they worked to provide low-cost services to uninsured patients. One patient reported a tooth extraction was a painful 45-minute ordeal and another said the receptionist was left to “find the root”‘ during a root canal.

FART HEAD

 

Maryland – A federal employee was formally reprimanded for excessive workplace flatulence, a sanction that was delivered to him in a five-page letter that actually included a log of representative dates and times when he was recorded “releasing the awful and unpleasant odor” in his Baltimore office. The worker, a 38-year-old Maryland resident, reportedly submitted evidence that he suffered from some medical conditions that, at times, caused him to be unable to work full days. But a SSA manager noted in the reprimand letter that, “nothing that you have submitted has indicated that you would have uncontrollable flatulence. It is my belief that you can control this condition.”

The letter’s author wrote that the employee’s conduct had been “discourteous, disrespectful, and entirely inappropriate,” and was worthy of a formal sanction, which is placed in a worker’s personnel files for up to one year. The reprimand, the manager noted, “is the least severe penalty available to impress upon you the seriousness of your actions and is necessary to deter future misconduct.”

A BIT EXTREME, CAN WE SAY?

"ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, YOU CRAZY OLD PERVERTED LADY?"

Clinton, North Carolina – The parent of a 10-year old Union elementary school student have filed a complaint against the school for strip-searching their son to find an allegedly stolen $20 bill.
In a complaint filed against assistant principal Teresa Holmes (picture) the family of Clinton, N.C., fifth-grader Justin Cox allege their son was ordered to remove his socks, shoes, pants and shirt so the principal could conduct a manual search for a $20 bill that was eventually found on the floor in the cafeteria. “She came up to him and rubbed her fingers around inside of his underwear,” Cox said. “If that isn’t excessively intrusive, I don’t know what is.” However, a teacher came into the office at the same time and said that the money had “miraculously” been found on the floor of the cafeteria.

THIS MAKES SENSE TO ME

Considering where dog's mouths spend much of the day, what is the difference?

HOW ABOUT SOME DOG CHOW FIRST?

ORANGE CITY, Florida – An Orange City man was arrested on allegations of trying to kill his wife by sticking her face in their dog’s water bowl and drowning her. Richard Watson, 47, was arrested on charges of committing a felony that could cause death, felony battery and battery charges. Police said Watson complained about his meal and threw it on the ground before tackling his wife and putting her head in the dog’s water bowl. He held his wife’s head in the bowl until she nearly passed out, according to police, who said he then choked her. The dog bowl was 5 inches across and about 3 inches deep, “enough for a face to fit in,” police said.

TOO FUNNY

New Mexico – Obsessed killer Dana Martin (picture) allegedly put a $2,500 bounty on each of Justin Bieber’s testicles as he outlined a plot to kidnap, castrate and strangle the teen pin-up. Jailed Martin – who sports a Bieber tattoo on his leg – is accused of arranging for two other men to abduct and murder the singer, his bodyguard and two more unrelated victims. According to court papers, he recruited Mark Staake to execute his plan after becoming convinced Bieber had snubbed his efforts to contact him. Staake’s nephew Tanner Ruane was later drafted in on the plot. Having declared the bounty on the 18-year-old’s private parts, Martin then ordered his accomplices to strangle the baby singer with a paisley tie, it is claimed.

I just can't take this seriously though :)

FOLLOWER

HEY..., LIKE THIS CRAZY STUFF, AND YOU WANT TO STAY UP TO DATE ON IT.., BE A FOLLOWER....

IT AIN'T SO FUNNY NOW, IS IT??

UK – An ill-advised stunt by a pair of Australian shock jocks took a tragic turn when a nurse they tricked into divulging confidential information about the royal baby committed suicide.
Jacintha Saldanha, a nurse at King Edward VII Hospital, where pregnant Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton was being treated for morning sickness, was the butt of the cruel joke. The deejays, posing as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles, coaxed Saldanha into giving an update on the condition of Middleton, wife of Prince William. On Friday, officials announced Saldanha had taken her life.
The death is not being treated as suspicious at this time, the spokesman said. Officials did not immediately say if there was as suicide note or if Saldanha’s death was directly linked to the hoax, which generated widespread outrage in Great Britain.

UH HUH......

South Korea – PSY has been taking over America with his surprise smash hit “Gangnam Style” but there’s new information on the South Korean pop star that will soon change his popularity among U.S. fans. It turns out PSY has been involved in several anti-American protest performances. His song “Dear American”: “Kill those f***ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives/Kill those f***ing Yankees who ordered them to torture/Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers/Kill them all slowly and painfully,” he raps. PSY is slated to perform for President Obama for a “Christmas In Washington” special. And, as of yesterday the special is now history, and oBama even personally met him.

COLLEGE SAYS 'MEN WORKING' SIGN IS SEXIST

Ohio – An Ohio community college forced a construction crew to remove its “Men Working” sign after the sign was deemed sexist and non-inclusive by a college administrator. The construction crew at Sinclair Community College in Dayton was forced to stop working until the sign had been removed. The controversy started when a female employee took issue with the “Men at Work” sign. Murka said the employee suggested several alternative phrases to the hard hats – including “construction zone.” He said the construction worker complied with the college’s demands and removed the sign.

Police said Lynette Lee admitted to a Clarksville detective last week the rape claim she had made earlier in the month was false. She said she had only made the claim because she did not enjoy the date. Lee had told police that after meeting up with a man she met online at Meetme.com, she and the man had gone back to a hotel together.

After following the trio outside the Walgreens, the man told police, “at least two, and maybe all three, of the boys brandished knives.” Additionally, one of the teens threw a stolen $15 package of condoms at the store manager, while another boy shouted, “Don't you call the (expletive) police!” After collaring the boys, cops recovered three steak knives from the young suspects. One boy said he carried a knife for protection, while another claimed to have been “cutting food earlier and had forgotten he had left the blade in his pocket.”
Each boy was booked into Madison’s Juvenile Reception Center on a variety of charges, including armed robbery, retail theft, and carrying a concealed weapon

RAPIST RELEASED FROM PRISON TO SAVE MONEY

California – A California appeals court has granted the release of a quadriplegic rapist who was considered an excessive cost to the state. Steven Martinez was convicted of several counts of violent rape in 1998 after he drove his car over a woman, assaulted her, kidnapped her and then raped her.
While serving his sentence in 2001, Martinez was attacked by two other inmates and was stabbed in the neck. The wound paralyzed him instantly. As an inmate, his caretakers say he remains an “angry, repulsive person.” Martinez applied last year to become the first inmate freed under a medical parole law that aims to reduce prison costs.

SO.....HOW DID THE DEMOCRATS WIN SO EASILY?

Florida – The partial vote recount in Florida Rep. Allen West’s re-election bid indicates ballots were double counted, but election officials still say the Republican lawmaker has lost the race.
The Tea Party-backed West demanded a recount after a wild swing of votes on election night in which he was leading Democratic challenger Tim Murphy by roughly 2,000 votes, then trailed by 2,400 votes about 35 minutes later. “If people are that adamant about getting rid of me that’s fine,” West said. “But don’t do it at the expense of the integrity of our electoral process. That’s what disturbs me the most.’ Officials have “already stated they had a 141 percent voter turnout, which I think should cause everyone alarm,” said West.

ELMO.....HOW COULD YOU?

New York – The man who voices Sesame Street’s popular character Elmo is denying he had gay sex with a minor, as Sesame Street honchos try to assure fans that the high-pitched puppet is “bigger than one man.” Kevin Clash has taken a leave of absence from Sesame Street Workshop to defend himself from allegations he had a a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy, according to a report by TMZ.
The accuser, now 23, says he and Clash engaged in sexual acts when he was 16 and Clash was 45.

SANITY

Washington DC – As of Saturday November 10, 2012, 15 States (Update: now 20 states) have petitioned the Obama Administration for withdrawal from the United States of America in order to create its own government. States following this action include: Louisiana, Texas, Montana, North Dakota, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, Colorado, Oregon and New York. These States have requested that the Obama Administration grant a peaceful withdrawal from the United States. These petitions were filed just days after the 2012 Presidential election. The Texas petition reads as follows: The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it’s citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.

THIS HERE MAN IS REALLY CRAZY

Jersey City – Jargget Washington had tried to gnaw his own wrist off by trapped in a police holding cell, defecated in the back of a Jersey City police cruiser, and as a grand finale bit off and swallowed his own finger at the Hudson County jail. Police said Washington, 29, of Jersey City accomplished all this while under the influence of PCP, or phencyclidine, a drug that can cause hallucinations and make users extremely violent. Washington first attracted police attention when he stripped naked in the middle of a busy intersection and started attacking cars with his bare hands, screaming unintelligibly. At one point, Washington allegedly jumped onto the hood and roof of a passing car and tried to pull the driver out.

COOKED SQUIRREL

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Michigan – A fire that ravaged an apartment complex in Holland Township, Mich. reportedly started because a resident was a little clumsy with a propane blowtorch, which he was using to prepare a squirrel carcass for eating. The blaze started at about 12:30 pm. The resident was on his third-floor patio, using the torch to singe the fur off the dead animal, when he accidentally ignited the deck. The flames rapidly got out of control and spread to the roof, according to Wood TV. Ultimately, eight apartments were destroyed, several more sustained significant damage, and the roof of the apartment complex caved in.

ROACHES, YUMMY!!!!!!

MIAMI (TheBlaze/AP) — The winner of a roach-eating contest in South Florida died shortly after downing dozens of the live bugs as well as worms, authorities said Monday. About 30 contestants ate the insects during Friday night’s contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles north of Miami. The grand prize was a python. Edward Archbold, 32, of West Palm Beach became ill shortly after the contest ended and collapsed in front of the store, according to a Broward Sheriff’s Office statement released Monday. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities were waiting for results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death. “Unless the roaches were contaminated with some bacteria or other pathogens, I don’t think that cockroaches would be unsafe to eat,” said Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of California at Riverside, who added that he has never heard of someone dying after consuming roaches. “Some people do have allergies to roaches,” he said, “but there are no toxins in roaches or related insects.”
None of the other contestants became ill, the sheriff’s office said. There was no updated phone number listed for Archbold in West Palm Beach. “We feel terribly awful,” said store owner Ben Siegel, who added that Archbold did not appear to be sick before the contest. “He looked like he just wanted to show off and was very nice,” Siegel said, adding that Archbold was “the life of the party.”

MOMMY DEAREST

DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas woman who super-glued her 2-year-old daughter’s hands to a wall also beat the girl so badly that she suffered bleeding on her brain, a doctor testified Monday during the mother’s sentencing hearing. Elizabeth Escalona faces up to life in prison after pleading guilty in July to attacking her daughter, Jocelyn Cedillo, last September. Police say the 23-year-old mother attacked the toddler due to potty training problems. During a sentencing hearing that began Monday, prosecutors presented gruesome photos and details of the attack. Jocelyn was hospitalized for about one week with injuries that included bleeding on her brain, a fractured rib, severe bruises and others likely caused by direct blows, according to Dr. Amy Barton, a former child abuse specialist at Children’s Medical Center of Dallas. “When I think about the time involved in that and what that scene must have looked like, it’s overwhelming,” Barton said. Dallas Police Sr. Cpl. Abel Lopez, who interviewed Escalona after the attack, showed a bottle of super glue taken out of the family‘s apartment as well as a section of an apartment wall with Jocelyn’s handprints.

CAN WE SAY A BIT EXTREME COUNTER MEASURES

TheBlaze/AP) — A Houston police officer shot and killed a one-armed, one-legged man in a wheelchair Saturday inside a group home after police say the double amputee threatened the officer and aggressively waved a metal object that turned out to be a pen. Police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said the man cornered the officer in his wheelchair and was making threats while trying to stab the officer with the pen. At the time, the officer did not know what the metal object was that the man was waving, Silva said. She said the man came “within inches to a foot” of the officer and did not follow instructions to calm down and remain still. “Fearing for his partner’s safety and his own safety, he discharged his weapon,” Silva told The Associated Press. Police did not immediately release the name of the man who was killed. They had been called to the home after a caretaker there called and reported that the man in wheelchair was causing a disturbance. The owner of the group home, John Garcia, told the Houston Chronicle that the man had a history of mental illness and had been living at the house about 18 months. Garcia said the man had told him that he lost a leg above the knee and all of one arm when he was hit by a train. “He sometimes would go off a bit, but you just ignore it,” Garcia told the newspaper

I LOVE YOU DADDY

Ohio – It was a dark secret. The kind that destroys lives, devastates families and decimates faith. Nobody shared it with Valerie Spruill while her husband was alive. For years after his death, she heard bits of the story. It was something about an absentee father, something about her husband. None of it made sense, she said. That’s not until her uncle finally told her what no one else had: She had unknowingly married the father she never knew. Spruill met and married her husband-father in Akron and settled in Doylestown, a working class suburb of about 2,300. It was her second marriage. Spruill was a nice man, a good provider. He was kind to her three children from her previous marriage. “We had a good life,” she said.

ANOTHER MAN WHO LOVED HIS WIFE

California – In a taped interview played in court, a Southern California chef on trial for allegedly killing his wife told police he slow cooked her body then dumped it out as kitchen waste.
Dawn Viens disappeared in 2009 and police identified her husband David – the chef at the former Thyme Cafe in Torrance – as a prime suspect. In 2011, investigators dug up the Thyme Cafe, which Dawn co-owned, searching for her body. But in a taped interview played in court, David Viens seemed to tell police why her remains may never be found. “I took some, some things like weights that we use and I put them on the top of her body, and I just slowly cooked it and I ended up cooking her for four days,” Viens said on tape.

ALMOST LOST HIS HEAD OVER THE LOVE OF HIS WIFE

EVERETT, Washington – A Washington state woman accused of trying to decapitate her sleeping husband with an electric saw was convicted of attempted murder. Jurors needed only about three hours to reach a verdict in the trial of Renee Bishop-McKean of Everett. They also convicted the 44-year-old woman of first-degree assault for hitting the man in the head with a hatchet and mallet.
The jury was told the noise of the saw woke the victim and he fought his wife off. He was treated for cuts and scrapes. Bishop-McKean told police an attacker must have entered the home through an open window, found the saw and attacked her husband.

UNPATRIOTIC WAL-MART

Florida – Wal-Mart has apologized to a school choir after management at a Florida store refused to allow them to perform “God Bless America” inside the store on Sept. 11. WSVN reports choir director Ana Conner’s group of 75 students at Coconut Palm Elementary in Pembroke Pines was scheduled to sing inside their local WalMart on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorism attacks as a tribute to the victims. However, Conner says when she and her students arrived, the manager refused to allow the children to sing. Principal Terri Thelmas told the Sun Sentinel that in an “effort to right a wrong,” the students went outside and performed in the parking lot. The students and parents were already heading to their cars when the police arrived, saying they were responding to reports of a “flash mob.”

STRANGE JUDGE

Oklahoma – Larry Allen Austin married his long-time girlfriend, but instead of wearing a tuxedo for the occasion, his wedding attire consisted of a state-issued orange jumpsuit and matching rubber slippers. Austin, 29, of Oklahoma City, was sentenced by District Judge Jerry D. Bass to four years in federal prison on a firearm charge, but minutes later, the same judge performed a marriage ceremony to unite the new inmate and Dustie Trojack, 31, in holy matrimony. The blushing bride’s two children were in attendance at the courthouse. The nuptials were sealed with a kiss before Austin was taken away by federal authorities. For Judge Bass, sentencing a man to prison and then officiating his wedding was a unique experience in his 14 years on the bench.

CAN'T PRAY OVER THE ROSARY IN SCHOOL

LOVELAND, Colorado – A student is questioning whether his faith or his fashion is under fire at his high school in Loveland. Thompson Valley High School officials have confiscated his rosary beads twice since school started three weeks ago. And he says they never told him, or his family, why.
The junior says he wears rosary beads to protect himself from harm. But his school district thinks the religious necklace will harm students. “That’s typically not what we want for a safe environment for school,” says Thompson Valley School District spokesperson Margaret Crespo.

COMPROMISED TROOPS

Egypt – U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition, limiting their ability to respond to attacks like those this week on the U.S. consulate in Cairo. Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any U.S. military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.” U.S. officials have yet to confirm or comment on the reports. While Marines are typically relied on to defend U.S. territory abroad, such as embassies, these reports indicate that the Obama administration was relying on Egypt’s new Muslim Brotherhood-backed government to ensure American security, a move observers are questioning as violence in Cairo continues to rage.
THIS ACTION EXISTS NUMEROUS LOCATIONS IN COMPROMISED SITUATIONS, IT IS APPALLING THAT THE MILITARY CONTINUES THIS PRACTICE IN THIS TURMOILED WORLD.

PORK CHOPS

ST. LOUIS, Missouri – John Cunningham (Picture) of Jennings used a shotgun to settle a fight with his uncle over pork steaks, police say. Cunningham, 43, of the 2000 block of Wedgewood Drive in Jennings, was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of Lessie E. Lowe, 44, the maternal uncle of Cunningham, police say. The shooting stemmed from an argument between Lowe and Cunningham over whether the cuts of meat they were planning to cook were pork steaks or pork chops, police say. Cunningham said they were pork steaks, police said. Lowe disagreed. After the argument became physical, the two had to be separated by someone else in the home, police say. Cunningham went to another part of the home, grabbed a shotgun and shot Lowe, police said.

STUPID DEMOCRATS!!!!

Charoltte, North Carolina – The backdrop for a Democratic National Convention tribute to U.S. military veterans was apparently a fleet of Russian warships. The event occurred on the final night of the convention when retired Adm. John Nathman paid tribute to veterans, in front of a gigantic screen that showed what appears to be ships from the Russian Federation Navy, according to The Navy Times. At least two experts told the publication they were certain the ships were Russian and that the backdrop image appears to be a composite photo that includes U.S. trainer jets flying overhead. The background shows four ships with radar designs apparently not used in the U.S. fleet.
Navy veteran Rob Barker reportedly detected the apparent mistake and notified The Navy Times.

SOCIALIZED MEDICINE

Sweden – A 72-year-old man having a tumour removed from his kidney died after the chief anesthetist and nurse took a lunch break in the middle of the surgery. The 72-year-old went under anesthetic at 10.45am on the day of the operation. At noon sharp, the head anesthetist left the operating room to go for lunch. Fifteen minutes later, the head nurse anesthetist also left the patient and went for lunch. No other anesthetist was called in to take over responsibility for the doctor who was on his lunch break. And while another nurse was brought in to cover for the nurse anesthetist, the nurse who arrived came from the orthopedic ward and wasn’t familiar with the respirator to which the 72-year-old was attached. When the doctor and the primary nurse anesthetist returned to the operating room, they discovered that the patient’s respirator had been turned off, leaving him without oxygen for approximately eight minutes.

INSANE???? MAYBE NOT

Turkey – A woman in Turkey is awaiting trial after beheading a man who she says raped her repeatedly for months and is the father of her unborn child. Her lawyer says the woman killed the man to protect her honor. Nevin Yildirim, a 26-year-old mother of two, lives in a small village in southwestern Turkey. She said the man, Nurettin Gider, began the attacks a few days after her husband left in January for a seasonal job in another town, according to a source close to the case. Yildirim said Gider threatened her with a gun and said he would kill her children, ages 2 and 6, if she made any noise, according to the source. That was the first of repeated rapes over the next eight months, the source said. Witnesses described Yildirim walking into the village square, carrying the man’s head by his hair, blood dripping on the ground.

ONLY FOUR YEARS FOR MAN'S WORST NIGHTMARE

Australia – A woman who chopped off her ex partner’s penis to stop him impregnating other women will serve less than four years in jail. Jian Chen was sentenced to a minimum of three years and nine months in jail after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of her ex partner Xian Peng at her North Ryde home in February 2011. The court accepted the guilty plea to the lesser charge, and withdrew the murder charge, because Chen was suffering from an “abnormality of the mind” due to mental illness and the belief Peng was going to take their child to China. Chen “laced” Peng’s soup dinner with sleeping tablets and then castrated him when he woke several hours later.

EATING MY PEANUT BUTTER

COLUMBIA, South Carolina – Police in Columbia say it was easy to find the suspect in the burning of a pickup truck at a Columbia car dealership.
