Definitely don't read about the cop who froze his son to death on purpose and mocked him while he was dying (the prosecutors know because cop and cop wife had cameras in every room to capture them abusing their children), in fact you know what it's not even a tab.
Emergency Nice time! Minnesota will pay you to put bee-friendly plants in your lawn!

Let's look at unlikely animal friends.

Wonkette is funded entirely by about 1 percent of our readers per month. Help a sister and three sisters and five brothers and a baby out!
Rebecca Schoenkopf is the owner, publisher, and editrix of Wonkette. She is a nice lady, SHUT UP YUH HUH. She is very tired with this fucking nonsense all of the time, and it would be terrific if you sent money to keep this bitch afloat. She is on maternity leave until 2033.
