A federal jury on Thursday found Dr. Stephen Schneider and his wife guilty of illegally prescribing painkillers to dozens of patients who later died.
If you lived in Wichita, Kansas and wanted prescription painkillers all you had to do was see the “Candy Man,” Dr. Stephen Schneider (shown here).
He was known as the “Candy Man” on the streets because it was so easy to get powerful painkillers from him with practically no questions asked – other than cursory on-the-spot examinations. Now, he and his wife, are paying the piper for their scheming that has caused dozens of deaths.
HANSI The Girl Who Loved The Swastica is a classic (1938) bizarre comic.
There’s more to see if you go here.

Comedians would probably not exist without politicians, whose speeches have always been full of splendidly stupid quotes:
Go here for a list of the top 10 moronic mutterings from politicians worldwide.
My favorite is the following from George W. Bush (pictured here trying to concentrate while someone asks him a question!):
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." – Washington, D.C., August 5, 2004 – George W. Bush.
Holy drones Batman! Robots are patrolling the Tex-Mex border!

Famous people's final words should be, well, famous. But since most people don't know which words will be their last, those final utterances can be revealing, touching or just odd.
Here’s the reported last words of some memorable people, from George Washington to Bob Marley to Princess Diana.
I suspect my last words will be similar to this old goat’s!
Winston Churchhill
Claim to fame: Considered one of history's greatest wartime leaders and statesmen as Britain's Prime Minister during World War II. (See photos) (Read some of his quotes)
Last words: "I'm bored with it all."
(d. Jan. 24, 1965)

There’s nothing funny about drunk drivers…
Pathetic perhaps, like the drunk driver in this story who was trapped after overturning his car and cracked open another can of beer while waiting for emergency crews to rescue him, according to New Zealand authorities.

Gen. David Petraeus named to take over troubled Afghan war
America’s most competent military commander, Gen. McChrytstal, was forced out because he bruised Obama’s (and his buddies) egos. The truth hurts someday, and this is a perfect example.
Yes, McChrystal questioned some moves by Obama and his Pentagon parrots. So what? The “chain-of-command” crap, is just that. Crap. The fact is, Obama got rid of a critic, and the troops lost the best commander they’ve ever had.
