If I hadn't seen it on the news first, I would have thought so too. Her lawyer was on with his client. Apparently her thong broke and a piece of bling that decorated it flew up into her cornea. I used to work for Vicky's and thought I had seen it all...I guess not.

Jeez, the next thing you know they'll be putting a tag on their clothes that says you need to wear protective eyewear when you put them on.

I really don't know what to think: on the one hand, what person would expect an injury to the cornea could result from underwear? On the other hand, I think you're kind of an idiot for wearing underwear with bling and maybe being willing to wear it indicates that you assume any bling-related risks.

I agree, part of me was wondering how hard she was yanking on them that they snapped?

Well, if you were damaged by a defective product that hurt your eye, what would you do after the company ignored you?

Yes, Lakeville used to be a pretty small town. I went to college in a really small town for two years and nobody locked their doors in the dorms or in rental housing because you just didn't need to.

Oh I don't disagree - my boyfriend grew up in Tiny Town, USA and nobody in his family ever locks their doors or houses or anything like that (it probably helps that his dad is a minister) and when he was in law school his parents were distraught it was a big enough city that they had to lock their cars when they visited.

An Astros starting pitcher was suspended for, essentially, attacking the general manager. I've read some crazy baseball stories, including the stuff that went on with the Yankees in the late 70s and the Mets in the mid 80s, but I can't remember ever reading something like this.

The HSUS Oversees Rescue of Nearly 700 Dogs from Massive Tennessee Puppy Mill

LYLES, Tenn. – Nearly 700 dogs have a new lease on life after teams of rescuers under the command of The Humane Society of the United States arrived here to save them from a massive puppy mill operation.

The removal of the dogs marks the largest puppy mill rescue ever conducted in Tennessee.

The rescue was set into motion by The HSUS' Tennessee state director who received undercover tips and worked with investigators with the District Attorney's office for the 21st Judicial District to build a case against the puppy mill operator. Law enforcement personnel from the Hickman County Sheriff's Department, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, the 21st Judicial District Drug Task Force and the Tennessee Highway Patrol assisted in executing the search warrant.

Nearly 700 dogs are being removed from the facility, which is known as Pine Bluff Kennels. The operator of the facility will be given 15 days after her first court date to post a seizure bond on the animals. If she is unable to post bond, the animals will be surrendered to Hickman County. They will then be placed with HSUS partner shelters and given the opportunity to become the family pets they never had the opportunity to be.

The HSUS has amassed a small army of dedicated individuals to take on the task of rescuing, processing, housing and administering veterinary care for more than 650 dogs. Rescuers from the Humane Society of Missouri, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Nashville Humane Society, High Forest Humane Society, Hickman County Humane Society, Tampa Bay Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and various volunteers from across the nation joined The HSUS to tackle this mission.

The dogs will be removed from the property and entered into a computerized tracking system before being transported to the nearby HSUS-operated emergency shelter. Once at the shelter, every animal will be assessed by a veterinarian and given any necessary medical attention.

"The HSUS' actions have brought relief to hundreds of dogs in an overcrowded and unhealthy puppy mill operation," said Leighann McCollum, The HSUS' Tennessee state director. "The state needs to adopt stronger policies to crack down on a large-scale industry that is severely mistreating dogs in Tennessee. And consumers should stop buying dogs from pet stores or through the Internet, and instead adopt homeless dogs from reputable shelters."

U.S. animal shelters euthanize 3 million to 4 million cats and dogs every year, and yet pet industry statistics show that about one-third of the nation's 11,000 pet stores continue to sell puppies. Many of these dogs come from puppy mills—mass commercial breeding operations that put profit above the health and welfare of the puppies and their parents.

"If you aren't going to adopt from an animal shelter, you need to see firsthand where that puppy was born," said Stephanie Shain, director of The HSUS' Stop Puppy Mills campaign. "That's the only way to make sure you aren't unknowingly fueling the demand for puppies from puppy mills. Pet stores and Internet puppy dealers are very smart about deceiving people. These dogs are a cash crop for the puppy mill operators and the pet stores, and it's reprehensible."

The HSUS will have broadcast-quality video and photos available from this operation for viewing and download by news media outlets at http://video.hsus.org.

Can you even imagine what would happen if Chacon threw in Fenway in, like, August? Holy balls - that would rival the classic "Where is Roger?" chant from the 2000 ALCS. I just peed a little.

Verne "Mini Me" Troyer Sues Web Site Over Sex Tape Story: http://www.usmagazine.com/verne-mini...sex-tape-story

TMZ — which reported the news on its Web site Thursday — aired the 20-second clip earlier this week. The snippet shows Troyer tongue-kissing a former "live-in girlfriend" in their apartment. A source tells Us the rest of the tape is considerably racier.


Number 1: ew.
Number 2: A 20 second clip of you kissing someone does not equal a sex tape nor does it equal $20 million dollars. Go sit down.
Number 3: EW!!
