“I think it’s useless. What will they catch, nothing? I think they should use the money for more extra curricular activities rather than security.”

WAKE UP

We asked Joni Caputa, a pastry chef of two years at Bittersweet Pastry Shop in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, how she manages to kick the sandman to the curb at 4:15 every morning.

America has spoken: It is true that some women are only worth their sexual appeal.

The Associated Press released a story to MSNBC titled "More women going from joblessness to toplessness", on Sunday, explaining the reasons, benefits, and costs, of some women's choice to enter into the exploitative entertainment industry.

Hold on, acceptable?
From wikipedia:
Nathaniel "Texas Jack" Reed (March 23, 1862 – January 7, 1950) was a 19th-century American outlaw responsible for many stagecoach, bank, and train robberies throughout the American Southwest during the 1880s and '90s. He acted on his own and also led a bandit gang, operating particularly in the Rocky Mountains and Indian Territory.
