This sounds a bit excessive:

Man severs own penis, throws it at officers

Then some idiot doctor sews it back on. Want to know why health care is so expensive? Because they waste money on idiots like that guy. You don't think for a minute that he paid for the surgery do you? I propose a new rule, you cut it off - it stays off.

On the occasion of Mike "extremely biased" Wallace's retirement, Newsbusters.org has a collection of his most egregious comments.

How to tell that you're not cut out for politics? When you lose a city council race by a 3 to 1 margin and your opponent is dead. If the voters feel the dead guy will do a better job than you it is not a rousing endorsement.

When you think of pirates usually you think of hundreds of years ago. Well, believe it or not, piracy is still active on the high seas. Just today two of our Navy ships, USS CAPE ST.
