On Black Friday, an unfortunate Polish immigrant got more than she bargained for, but the culprit wasn’t overzealous shoppers.  The people who beat her and left her battered and bruised were a pair of uniformed New York Police Department officers from the 100th Precinct.  Ann Stanczyk was walking her dog Psotka when two police officers arrested and allegedly assaulted her over dog poop.  Dog poop, Ann says, that did not belong to her terrier.

“They saw my dog and they said I didn’t clean up.  I said, ‘No, she only pee.’ They, of course, not agree with me and I say, ‘Show me. Where is it?'”  When the officers found dog feces nearby, they ordered her to pick it up.  She continues, “I got scared.  I pick up.  I said, ‘It’s cold, not belong to my dog.‘  When I smiled and said I didn’t do anything, that made them very upset.”

That’s when the beating started.  She says police hit her in the eye, the breast, and the stomach.  She also had injuries to her wrists and knee.  As for the police, they say Stanczyk caused the problem herself, yelling at the officers and locking her hands in front of her to prevent being put in handcuffs.  All this fuss over a little terrier turd.

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.
