I have heard alot of stories about alot of stupid criminals,but this one takes the cake!A guy in Stamford,Connecticut used the popular online classified Craigslist to advertise marijuana for sale!
His ad touted "Mary Jane in Fairfield County" and offered high-grade marijuana for $440 an ounce and lower-grade herbage for $320 per ounce.
Stamford Police officers spotted the ad and responded under false pretenses as a local painting crew looking for some smoke and Steven Zahorsky,24,agreed to meet them Wednesday at the McDonalds located at an I-95 rest stop.He then delivered an ounce of the "high-test" grass to the undercover officers car and collected $320 from him.Upon his arrest,he insisted he was just there to grab a Big Mac-despite the fact he was in possession of the $320 and the officers number was on his cell phone.The police raided Zahorskys home and seized more marijuana,psychedelic mushrooms,a digital scale,a shotgun and ammunition.Zahorsky was released on bail and faces a trial next month to defend against several drug related charges.
I also nominate him for the list of World's Dumbest Criminals!It's one thing to sell a car or computer or find a roommate on Craigslist but advertising that you have illegal drugs for sale on a site that ANYONE can visit is monumentally stupid!What was he thinking?No one knows.Attempts to contact him by news media found no phone number listed for him.But we all know he has a cell phone!LOL

Now THAT is Chevy Tough!
Frank Oresnik is getting ready to retire his 1991 Chevy Silverado truck-not because it is giving him any problems-but because the truck is a mere 1200 miles away from the odometer hitting the 1 Million Mile mark!
Oresnik purchased the used pickup in 1996 when it had just 41,000 miles on it and he then he drove it for approximately 85,000 miles a year in his business,delivering seafood over an area of 3 states.The truck has been through four radiators, three gas tanks, five transmissions and six water pumps over the last 12 years but still has the original engine which has never been overhauled.Oresnik attributes the longevity of his pickup to regular oil changes and tuneups over the years and I have to agree with him on that point-a vehicle treats you as good as you treat it.
General Motors oughtta use this guy and his reliable Chevy truck for a TV ad!
Even MORE animal hoarders!
For the THIRD time in a little over a week another animal hoarding case has made national news-this time in Bonham,Texas where complaints from neighbors prompted an investigation yesterday by the local police in cooperation with the SPCA.Three dogs and a mind-boggling TWO HUNDRED AND NINE cats were removed from the home,and authorities say they found 40 of the cats together in a single bedroom.The alleged owner,David Wheeler,says he initially started out with 13 cats and they quickly multiplied.Wheeler also added that it was too expensive to spay and/or neuter that many cats AND feed them too.Here's a novel idea for him-don't have A pet,let alone over a dozen,unless you are prepared and able to have them neutered and vaccinated.

Today is the day.....
The public smoking ban in Maryland goes into effect today,and while I understand it's intent,it is not the responsibility of the state to save us from ourselves.Where does it stop?Some strong odors,for example,can cause anaphalactic shock in an asthmatic.Do we ban all personal fragrances?The majority of businesses already had smoking bans in place but the new law limits smoking literally to ones home or car.Some local beaches have enacted smoking bans too.There is no loophole that will allow a business to offer a seperate designated smoking area under the law and that is a little unfair.As long as comparable accomodations are made for non-smokers and the business has enough demand for a smoking area to justify the expense of expansion,why can they not do so?
What is the matter with these people?
I am still reeling after reading about this in the local newspaper yesterday.A Delaware woman and her live-in boyfriend,both 20,were arrested after Friday the boyfriend allegedly bit his girlfriends 10 month old baby girl(not HIS child)for crying excessively.Both the adults had been drinking all evening and the mother was charged for failing to report the abuse because "she did not want to lose her boyfriend"!!!!WTF?
Luckily,an observant family member noticed the injuries and reported the pair to police and child welfare and she was removed from the home and her mothers custody.The mother (and I use that term loosely) was freed on bail but the boyfriend was still being held in Sussex County.
What the hell is wrong with these people?What kind of asshole bites a defenseless and vulnerable infant?And what kind of mother is going to knowingly expose her little girl to that sort of person?Afraid to lose him?I would be plotting his painful torture,not "scared to lose him".My womans intuition tells me that the mother herself was probably victimized by this jerk but thats still no excuse.My thoughts and prayers go out to this little girl!

Whatever happened to the daytime talk shows?
What has happened to the daytime talk show genre that started when Phil Donahue first hit the national airwaves out of a Chicago studio?I am not referring to the cutesy,trendy and hip programs like Oprah,Tyra or Ellen-but the junk food of daytime TV,good ole fashioned trashy ones like Jerry Springer or Maury Povich.Donahue was not trashy but he WAS interesting and never steered away from controversy and therefore always thought provoking.Alas,he is TV history.
But it it seems like that format has faded into obscurity.I have been watching a new show occasionally,"The Steve Wilkos Show".Wilkos,for those of you unfamiliar,is a former Chicago PD officer and was the head of security for The Jerry Springer Show for many years.He often served as a bouncer onscreen when the shoes came off and guests got to brawling onstage.Women in the Springer studio audience often asked to come onstage and either hug steve or kiss his bald head-LOL.He is a handsome man with an air of authority and I honestly like him and his values but I do not enjoy his show.He does confrontational shows with pretty vile guests like child molsesters or a guy who deliberately spreads AIDS.The better part of the show is Steve berating the creeps onstage and there is no studio audience Q&A,just Steve reading emails during the credits.No offense,but if I wanted to watch a big bald dude scream at people,I would go to boot camp LOL.
Also,I adore Steve Wilkos but seeing pedophiles on TV everyday is nauseating....how about something like the old reliable DNA test shows?By watching old Maury shows,you would think some chicks gave more thought to deciding what to get on a pizza than as to who fathered their children.Scandalous,but it made for good trash-tv!Alot of that stuff was staged or exaggerated wildly for ratings but it held your attention.Todays current "hot" daytime talk shows put me to sleep!

He did WHAT in church?
Thomas G.Findler,of Hamilton,NJ was hiding a dirty little secret.....he was sneaking into Grace St. Paul Episcopal Church,where he was a parishioner,to use a nuns' computer to look at internet porno!Wednesday he got busted by a church custodian,who chased him out practically into the hands of a local cop!
Findler,a civilian NJ State Police employee,was charged with theft and burglary.No word on his job,but no doubt if he works in such a sensitive environment like a police agency and has a vicious addiction of any kind,he needs treatment before he is permitted back on the job.Not that I am anti-porno,but theres a time and place like in the privacy of your own home.Normal people do not sneak into a church of all places and access porn.Maybe I am in the minority but I would definitely think I was damned to Hell for disrespecting a house of worship in that manner.I am no prude,but thats kinda sick and blemishes the sanctity of the place.I hope the dude gets some serious therapy!
