In December of 2009, Russell Vanderwerf, Director of Industry Operations for the Houston office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was arrested in New Orleans after staffers at the Residence Inn at which he was staying were sent to investigate a malfunctioning hotel fire alarm. It seems Mr. Vanderwerf had disconnected the smoke detectors in his suite and removed the alarm horn, leaving it hanging out of the wall. But far more interesting to hotel employees, Vanderwerf had also removed the door between his bedroom and the outer suite and replaced it with a four by five foot...

(Newser) – USA Swimming has been rocked by the disclosure that 36 coaches have been banned for life for molesting teen athletes over the last 10 years, according to a suit brought by victims' families. Coaches secretly videotaped, fondled, and were otherwise indecent with their charges, court papers reveal. One coach in Indiana set up a camera in a "special" shower room and secretly filmed his athletes while they bathed, ABC News reports. In some cases, the itinerant coaching lifestyle allowed predators to stay one step ahead of authorities and victims' families. Another coach, who was sentenced to 40 years...

Ritter thought he was talking to a 15 year old girl instead of a vice squad cop, and Former U.N Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter Accused in Poconos Sex Sting Operation didn't know police were watching as he masturbated before a web cam and talked about sexual activity with the cop. The double game Ritter played was not only in the political sphere; Ritter also seemed to have a...

Maybe he was blinded by grief, but is anyone else weirded out by Ryan O’Neal’s admission in Vanity Fair that he tried to hit on his own daughter at the funeral of his lady love Farrah Fawcett? Ew. “I had just put the casket in the hearse and I was watching it drive away when a beautiful blonde woman comes up and embraces me,” O’Neal admits in the September issue. “I said to her, ‘You have a drink on you?

CNN's Jeffrey Toobin reportedly "crossed the line" with Casey Greenfield, daughter of a CBS reporter. Columnists Rush & Molloy don't give details, but one can speculate from what they omit: Greenfield is pregnant. Toobin, 13 years Greenfield's senior, is still married (with children) to Amy McIntosh. Toobin declined to talk to the Daily News about his relationship with Greenfield, as did Greenfield herself. Their refusal to speak is sure to arch eyebrows. Given Greenfield's advanced pregnancy, which she tracks on her Facebook profile, Rush & Molloy surely knew what their item was implying: Toobin is the father of Greenfield's child....

A flap over an allegedly pervy state senator - and scathing columns by the Herald’s own Howie Carr - pushed some Arlington residents to bite back by embracing their inner moonbat. “I happily take the term moonbat and fly free,” said Menotomy Moonbats spokeswoman Deborah Butler, who was derided in one of Carr’s columns. “We’re looking for a way to put positive energy into the word.” The group ordered 60 T-shirts last week designed with a bat against a glow-in-the-dark moon backdrop. They’ll be on sale at the Arlington Farmer’s Market for $15 each as soon as Aug. 20. The...
