Psychosis or mind control?

This is a strange website forum, to say the very least. Apparently these folks believe that those suffering from psychosis are actually victims of a government mind control program. They even claim that someone who heard voices and later died of a heart attack didn’t have a real heart attack, but was killed [...]
Update on Benjamin Sargent case

I previously wrote about the death of little five-month-old Benjamin Sargent on this blog at http://elfninosmom.wordpress.com/2008/02/25/parents-of-the-year-again/
It turns out that poor little Benjamin didn’t starve to death. Instead, he died as a result of his incredibly filthy diaper. No, I’m not kidding; I wish I were.

Previously, I placed a moratorium on people saying on this blog that Lee Anthony was Caylee’s father. Of course, the DNA has proven that I was right to do that, because he is not the father. That theory is just as stupid now as it ever was.
However, who is the father?

Okay, I admit that I never watched Bret Michael’s reality show before this season (there were two seasons before this one, both held in a house rather than on a bus and called simply “Rock of Love”). I just saw no reason to watch a bunch of skanky women competing for the “love” of [...]
