• 1 in 3 autistic young adults lack jobs, education

  Mon May 14, 2012

  • I give a @!$%#? I agree the prognosis is bleak for mantas and all marine creatures, but we have to try! Maybe you don't have kids, but I do and it's mothers day and I'm not going to give up without a fight. I use as little plastic as possible, I recycle and I refuse to act helpless.

• Relative: Man suspected of kidnapping Tenn. girls thinks they are his

  • This guy's wife and mother did absolutely nothing to prevent this tragedy. The wife witnesses a murder and then drives the bodies around in her car! You cannot make this stuff up, it is beyond anything even the sickest mind can invent.

• Abducted penguin rescued from shark-infested waters
