I don’t know anything about Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley, but I know enough about the pair from my few exposures to MTV’s hit reality show Teen Moms to know that Amber is the kind of person who should not be raising a child, or even having children.  Long story short, she’s a crazy, violent, abusive, and manipulative shrew who ought to go to jail for the things she’s done to her boyfriend/baby-daddy Gary.  Police agree and have brought domestic violence charges against Amber Portwood for her abusiveness towards her boyfriend, which was captured on tape and aired on television by MTV.

“According to police documents, on August 14, 2009, Portwood shoved Shirley against a wall, slapped him on the face and choked him,” said Madison County police spokesman Mitch Carroll said. “The incident was witnessed by the couple’s 1-year-old child who sat in a child seat on a nearby bed.”  It was also witnessed by several million MTV viewers, as it was aired as part of an episode of Teen Mom, during which Portwood was shown “slapping Shirley five times, punching him three times, and kicking him at least once.”

Portwood faces felony charges related to domestic violence.  The charges carry penalties up to 3 years in prison and a $10,000 fine, but I guarantee you Portwood won’t do any time in jail, simply because she’s a woman.  The fact that she’s also a TV star will help her avoid the real possibility of jail that a normal person would get for such violent behavior.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
