The ranks of the "Baltimoron Brick Throwing Brigade" dropped by one this week when his mom showed up and started smacking him offside his head. 

Baltimore's "Mother of the Year," later said she was trying to save her son's life.

Which goes to show you that there's moments of inspiration capable of uniting the Right and the Left, not to mention a dose of humor, in the direst of circumstances.

 Unfortunately, when it comes to resolving, or better yet preventing civil unrest; the Right and Left still remain divided...

Before, during and after the looting spree, racial activists have been elevating the late Michael Brown to sainthood.

If anyone is deserving of praise and support, it's Natalie Dubose.

 We're all in desperate need of good cheer.

I thought Natalie's effort to rebuild her business made a touching story for this blog's first post of the Holiday Season.

A Good WTFO Story

Speaking of Reality TV, I don't normally watch any of it. However, for the past several days TV and the internet has been buzzing about an unlikely contestant in the show Britain's Got Talent.

Susan Boyle stumped on stage and faced a snickering audience and 3 hostile judges including the infamous Simon Cowell. Everyone was expecting the usual train wreck. Instead, Miss Boyle didn't just "hit this one out of the park," she sent this into orbit. Half way through her performance, the audience was on their feet cheering.

Miss Boyle's perfomance is a real-life "don't-judge-a-book-by-it's-cover" inspirational story.

Various YouTube videos are on-line viewed by millions with thousands of ratings--all 5 stars.

May Miss Boyle continue to enjoy the success she deserves.

Susan Boyle sing's I Dream the Dream from Les Miserables:
