Minnesota – A New Jersey woman known as “the tanning mom” was sent to a temporary detox facility by law enforcement officials for being intoxicated at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Metropolitan Airports Commission spokesman Patrick Hogan said airport police were called to the Delta ticket counter because of an intoxicated woman.

Hogan says Patricia Krentcil, 44, wasn’t arrested but was taken to a detox facility to sober up.

Krentcil, a compulsive tanner, came to fame after her five-year-old daughter was burned from allegedly visiting a tanning salon with her mother in April 2012. She was charged with child endangerment, but a grand jury declined to indict her in the sensationalized case.  Full Article

BAYTOWN, Texas – A Baytown mother fought back and won when an armed robber threatened her and her two young sons, according to police.

Dorothy Baker was just driving home from CVS with her sons, ages 5 and 2, when a man crept up from the third row of their minivan with a knife.

He demanded money.

“So I asked him how much he needed and he said $200,” Baker said.

“And I told him I didn’t have that kind of cash. I had about $20 in my account, and he said I better figure out a way to get it, or my kids were going to get hurt.”  Full Article   Watch video at Nutty News Videos

Janet said the recollection was terrifyingly clear.

She shot Fred after he twice raped her, then put his body in a wheelbarrow and buried him on their  farm.  Full Article

MEXICO CITY – This mayoral hopeful in  Mexico promises to eat, sleep most of the day and donate his leftover litter to  fill potholes.

Morris, a black-and-white kitten with orange eyes, is running for mayor of  Xalapa in eastern Mexico with the campaign slogan “Tired of Voting for Rats?  Vote for a Cat.”

And he is attracting tens of thousands of politician-weary, two-legged supporters on social media.

“He sleeps almost all day and does nothing, and that fits the profile of a  politician,” said 35-year-old office worker Sergio Chamorro, who adopted the  10-month-old feline last year.

Put forth as candidate by Chamorro and a group of friends after they became disillusioned with the empty promises of politicians, Morris’ candidacy has  resonated across Mexico, where citizens frustrated with human candidates are nominating their pets and farm animals to run in July 7 elections being held in  14 states.  Full Article

Washington DC – The White House Friday defended  the first  family’s  upcoming weeklong trip to Africa, which could cost  taxpayers up to $100  million, as “great bang for our buck.”

“There  will be a great bang for our buck for being in Africa  because when  you travel to regions like Africa that don’t get a lot of  presidential attention, you tend to have very longstanding and long-running impact  from the  visit,” said Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser to President Obama.

The  excursion will involve military cargo planes airlifting 56  support vehicles, including 14 limousines, and three trucks to carry  bulletproof glass panels to cover the windows where the first family is set to  stay.

A Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship with a fully staffed medical trauma center will be stationed offshore in case of an   emergency.

Fighter  jets will fly in shifts to provide around-the-clock protection over the president’s airspace.

The trip will reportedly involve hundreds of  Secret Service agents.  Full Article

California – Researchers have found a critical element that may explain why some cancers spread farther and faster than others, a discovery that could lead to one of the Holy Grails of cancer treatment: containing the disease.

Scientists from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a protein that seems to serve as a switch, regulating the spread of cancer from the primary tumor to distant spots in the body – a process known  as metastasis.

The protein is used by embryo cells during early development, but then disappears from the body after an individual comes out of  the womb.

According to the researchers, the protein was only found in people with  metastatic cancer, leading them to believe that the regulation of this protein could potentially stop the dangerous progression of this killer disease.  Full Article

Washington DC – Rep. Jeff Duncan wants to know why IRS law enforcement agents are training  with AR-15 rifles.

As chairman of the House Homeland Security oversight subcommittee, Duncan  (R-S.C.) toured a federal law enforcement facility in late May and noticed agents training with the semi-automatic weapons at a firing range. They  identified themselves as IRS, he said.

“When I left there, it’s been bugging me for weeks now, why IRS agents are  training with a semi-automatic rifle AR-15, which has stand-off capability,”

Duncan told POLITICO. “Are Americans that much of a target that you need that  kind of capability?”

“I think Americans raise eyebrows when you tell them that IRS agents are  training with a type of weapon that has stand-off capability. It’s not like  they’re carrying a sidearm and they knock on someone’s door and say, “You’re  evading your taxes,’” Duncan said.

Given the increased scrutiny amid the agency’s targeting of political groups  and excessive spending, Duncan said, he intends to seek answers from the  IRS.  Full Article

The American Veterinary Medical Association, along with the Humane Society of the United States, are also both against performing surgery for cosmetic reasons alone.

“Sometimes people don’t think very hard about the inherent risks that are involved in anesthesia for one of our pets,” said Kristen Thiesen of the Humane Society.

But there are many cosmetic procedures that are indeed undertaken for health reasons.

If your pet has a bad bite, for example, it can cause a lot of pain.

Orthodontics such as braces can help straighten teeth.
