Is there anything you can’t do on the Internet? You can order a pizza, pick your hairstyle, and even find the love of your life. And these days, it turns out, you can even be a hero without having to leave the comfort of your parents’ basement. In fact, a 17-year-old girl from England managed to foil the rape of a five-year-old North Carolina girl, thanks to the internet.
We’ve all been there, drunk and passed out on the fast food restaurant playland, the kids joyfully amusing themselves. It’s the picture of a perfect afternoon until the dumb cops arrive. So presented with such an intrusion, naturally you turn your children into weapons.
And who wouldn’t? We’ve all dreamed of controlling our own vicious legion of toddlers, eager to do our evil bidding. I mean, that’s why we had kids in the first place. But quickly after they’re born we learned our babies are more interested in gnawing on the corner of a Dora blanket than being our henchman.
But one drunk father in Colorado Springs never gave up.
Joshua Alger, 28, is the aforementioned man. When McDonald’s employees called the police on the prostrate Alger the cops realized he already had a warrant out.
So Alger released his hounds kids. Alger freaked, commanding his kids to “bite the officers’ faces off.” They didn’t.
And what is the punishment for sicking your kids on the cops? You get tased, bro. No, the cops did not tase the kids too.
One wonders if this was a scenario he’d already prepared for, training his kids to attack on command. On a serious note, let’s hope these kids have more sober relatives willing to take them.

No one is slamming pot here. Not today. Maybe pot’s not my thing, but I’m no narc. I’m no Agent of D.A.R.E. (but I so want to drive that van). So I bring you this story not as a condemnation of marijuana use, but maybe just a reminder that we should all have fun responsibility.
So when I tell you a 2-year-girl was found wandering around pantsless with her dad’s glass pipe in her toy purse, understand I don’t automatically blame pot. I blame the dad. Did I mention the daughter was also carrying an empty bottle of pain pills and the family rabbit?
The vice principal of Millennial Tech Magnet Middle School in San Diego took one look at an 11-year-old boy’s science fair project and promptly evacuated the school. His reason? He thought the project looked like a bomb.
33-year-old Tanya Nareau of Mesa, Arizona was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly attempting to exchange her 2-year-old daughter for a gun. The trade was to be with a family friend who Nareau said would do a better job of raising the child.
You may recall the landmark case of Boy Scouts of America et al. v. Dale, from 2000, in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the BSA, being a private organization, has the right to discriminate as it wishes, when it comes to its membership and its volunteer staff. Since that decision was handed down, the Scouts have indeed continued their policy of discriminating against gays and atheists. Since that decision, also, the Boy Scouts have steadily lost many special accommodations and benefits they once enjoyed. Now they’ve lost another.
