    Vicar arrested, bailed out in baby murder mystery

    "A vicar and his daughter have been bailed after their arrests on suspicion of murdering a baby. The Reverend James Percival, 64, of Holy Trinity Church in Freckleton, and daughter Ruth, 28, were also arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to conceal the birth of a child."

And I tweeted, and tweeted, and hung out at Jezebel in the “live blog,” trying to get out of the “greys” (the pending comments). Today, Jezebel…

    Shooting at Nordstrom's in Chicago

    As you might have guessed, it was based on domestic abuse. An ex-boyfriend shot a woman on her 22nd birthday at the place she worked, because it was one place and time where he knew how to find her. The family member that let slip to him where she was working will have to deal with their lapse in judgement. I hope the young woman survives, her family had been planning a surprise birthday party for her when they got the awful news that her stalker ex-boyfriend had shot her at work. Apparently his parents are both cops, so the…
