NYPD Fail

Bronx men to file $2M suit against city after cops arrested them for 'crack' that was really candy

A drug bust of two Bronx men wasn't all it was cracked up to be - and now they're looking for a sweet payday from the city. Cops accused Cesar Rodriguez and Jose Pena of having crack cocaine in their work van, but it was only coconut candy.

Rodriguez: "I spent five days in jail for possession of coconut candy"

Desperate Measures

The McCain campaign is now using extreme robo-calls to smear Barack Obama. Listen to what this congress woman has to say and prepare to be shocked at what type of people get elected into government.

Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann claimed on Friday that Barack Obama and his wife Michelle held anti-American views and couldn't be trusted in the White House. She even called for the major newspapers of the country to investigate other members of Congress to "find out if they are pro-America or anti-America."

Messed Up

A week after the government spent $85 billion dollars bailing out AIG, execs went on a retreat at a luxury resort spending $443,343.71.

Oh Lord

So I thought that was a girl at first. Nope, it's a boy. It's just so bad I want to laugh/cry. German boy/rock-band 'Tokio Hotel' is gonna be the next big thing to hit the teenage frontier this year. Although they seem so petite and desperate that I just wanna put them in my pocket. Crazy hair should start dating Cyrus Miley or Jared Leto to guarantee US tabloid domination.
