I realize I am something like 5 days late with the Daily Bite and I apologize. I was off having a worldwind romance with a rich, devastatingly handsome, independantly wealthy man who only has eyes for me. Ok. It was only in my dreams, but whatever. While I was off in la-la land, the asshats of the world continued to commit heinous crimes that should have earned them a place on our front page and maybe secured them a place in hell. I hope Satan is better at keeping up with his responsibilities than I am though. [Read more...]

Las Vegas, NV (June 10, 2008) - Not a lot of information on this one yet, but there seems to be another dead kid who was left in a vehicle. On Monday morning, a sibling found Jason Rimer in the family SUV outside of the home, 17 hours after the family had returned from a family outing on SundaySunday reviews afternoon. Police are saying that Stan and Colleen Rimer forgot the boy, leaving him in the SUV after returning from church activities. The temperature peaked at 90 degrees at about 6 p.m. on Sunday, meaning the inside of the car would have hit 130 degrees within an hour. When I first started typing this up, I couldn’t understand why the kid couldn’t get himself out of a car and figured he may have been restrained. I then found out the boy was not in a car seat at all and that he was mentally disabled.

Except for the fact that she left her 3 month-old daughter Faith outside in the car, alone, for 6 hours, to fry in the summer heat. [Read more...]

Mobile, AL – It’s not that hard to figure out, people.  You’re going to Wal-Mart, perhaps to buy all the pseudoephedrine the pharmacy will sell you.  It’s ninety degrees outside.  Do you:  A.)  take the kids with you to use as a diversion,  B.) Take the kids with you and tell them to sit on the bench and stay put; or C.) leave them in the car in the parking lot in direct sunlight with the windows down a bit?    If you guessed “C”, then you are probably Shavon Riva Higgins or Ruby Marie Bonds.  ‘Cause that’s what they did on SaturdaySaturday reviews.  [Read more...]
