Cadigan retired in 1991 as a lieutenant, after being disciplined for calling sex lines and allegedly drinking at a Weymouth bar while on duty. [More]

What did Mr. Marley say? "I wear the chain I forged in life..."

Police in South Carolina gave away roses on Valentine's Day. All you had to do to get one for your sweetie was turn in a gun. [More]

What? None?

Why? Don't the love their "sweeties"?

Whew. Tough crowd.

Well, there's more. [More]

Hey, if I wanted to be popular, I'd be writing about Miley Cyrus.
