  • I’m thrilled by it! From the very beginning, I wanted to jump back and forth over the line of meaning what I say, and the truth of the matter is I’m not on anyone’s side, I’m on my side. The important thing is that the audience laughs.

Offbeat: Police: Teaching your children to be armed robbers not a good idea

  • All of us should be disgusted by this. This is absolutely not how to raise your children.

The victims, mostly between the age of 13 and 20, were beaten and assaulted in an attempt to raise money for rent and car insurance. Roberson guilted her sons into it. Jesus. • source
