NOLA Transexual Finally Arrested For Fatal Butt Injection Homicide

I have to tell you, the fascination of a fake bootie has for long eluded me. But I am fairly certain there are lots of ladies (....even transexuals) out there that desire to have a big round bubble butt. 

This news is quite reminiscent of the Pebblez fix-a-flat injections that killed a lady in Mississippi. What I wonder is....if one is going to augment any part of their body why not seek an expert plastic surgeon in the field instead of going around the back alley way. Read the news after the jump

Uh oh! Judge Rules That $357,000 BP Oil Settlement Be Paid Back

Gotta be shittin me. Even an unemployed man filed for BP oil settlement and received $357,000? 
This is sad because there were so many people/businesses who faced incredible challenges as a result of the oil spill that got denied.


NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge ruled Tuesday that a $357,000 payment in a damage claim from the 2010 BP oil spill must be repaid because the claim was fraudulent.
The claim had been made by Casey Thonn for seafood losses. An investigation by former FBI director Louis Freeh determined it was made based on phony tax returns.
Freeh had recommended that the money be paid back and U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier agreed in an order issued Tuesday. The order outlined the evidence against Thonn, including the unfiled phony tax returns and forms that were filed with the Internal Revenue Service indicating Thonn had been unemployed when the spill occurred.
