A Maryland businessman, athletic coach and PTA member was arrested this week on sickening charges related to a 12-year-old girl—charges that reportedly only came about because the alleged victim watched an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit with her mother.

This week, Law and Order: SVU actress Michelle Hurd and comedy club manager Joyce Emmons joined the growing number of women accusing Bill Cosby of predatory behavior, sharing their own encounters with the alleged rapist.

The U.S. Customs department spends several hundred million dollars on border security for our 2,000-mile border with Mexico. Congress may soon increase that amount by many billions of dollars. One thing we know for sure: we are gonna waste the hell out of that money.

For more than a century, the state of Mississippi has allowed the inmates of its prison system to behave as if they are human beings capable of familial relationships, providing well-behaved prisoners the chance to briefly spend time alone with their spouses.

Ever since the collapse of the global economy due to massive, reckless, multi-trillion-dollar "me-first" gambling on an institutional scale, Americans have been clamoring for prosecution of the powerful people whose greed caused this whole mess.

Sure, bleeding heart PC types killed a bill earlier this year that would have allowed guns on college campuses in Texas. Consolation prize: Texas is "close to enacting" a new bill that will give school teachers detailed criminal histories of all their students. Because you never know when the next six-year-old will shoot up the school, or which kid's birthday party is actually cover for a cockfighting ring. Down in Texas, the legislators are armed, the merest whiff of lawbreaking gets you jailed, and prisoners get put down like dogs. You never know when one of these public school kids might get brainwashed by a Muslim textbook and start some serious jee-had. If our teachers can't have guns, well, at least we can "arm" them with the precise knowledge of just how evil these felons-to-be lurking in their classroom are. And also, maybe arm them with a knife?

When one door closes, another one opens - for Dick Wolf, that is. May saw the end of the original Law and Order, but there's a new spin-off that premiered the other night. Is it worthy of the L&O name?

After 20 seasons on the air, Law & Order may be dead. Who's responsible for killing the program? Let's do an investigation, like on the show!

Two Indiana cops have been suspended after they were accused of slapping and using a Taser on an "out of control" 10-year-old boy at Tender Teddies Day Care in Martinsville. The repeat offender "wouldn't quit" kicking and screaming. [6News, via]

Substitute the mylar balloon for a yellow dinghy and the quest for a reality show with an international custody battle and, voila! Law and Order's Boat Girl is born! Unfortunately for us, she never makes a gaffe on Larry King.
