Man Jailed After Daughter Fails To Get GED
Well isn't this just a peachy piece of precedence? The non custodial father of a 18 year old girl, goes to jail because she fails to earn a GED while truant in moms custody.
How far before "have a child and go to jail" becomes a way to save money?
The interesting part is how the courts [...]

Author?s not: This was originally published in The Hatchet: The Journal of Lizzie Borden Studies. Those who have not yet had the pleasure of reading the Henry James classic should be aware that this essay contains spoilers.

Hope for prisoner as expert recants on wife’s suicide letter
One should compliment the "Pioneer of Criminal profiling" for coming forward and recanting that he helped jail an innocent man, however, how much damage will this revelation cause when later they then review ALL of his work?
However, possession is nine tenths of the law, and the state possesses Eddie Gilfoyle, and of course will not [...]

More reasons to write on behalf of William J. Hetherington, imprisoned for more than 20 years on a questionable spousal rape conviction
I?ve written two blogs on why people should write to the Michigan Parole Board urging long overdue mercy for William J. Hetherington who has been imprisoned for over two decades for a rape conviction that many observers believe was based on weak evidence.
My first essay on this case was entitled Tentative thoughts on the William [...]

Grace Lusk: Old maid, modern woman, and triangle slayer

Write for William J. Hetherington, still imprisoned after 20 years on a questionable spousal rape conviction!
I wrote a previous blog on the William J. Hetherington spousal rape case that can be found at http://mensnewsdaily.com/2007/12/29/tentative-thoughts-on-the-william-j-hetherington-spousal-rape-case. It gives many specifics on this case and links to other articles with even more details.
Michigan resident William J. Hetherington has been imprisoned for more than 20 years on evidence that was weak and questionable. Two [...]

Why Republicans Will Lose in 2008
G.O.P party-line bombast has failed to generate the level of buzz needed to effectively counter the looming Democrat invasion on the Presidency and Congress. I do admit it is a tall order overcoming an irrelevant American Idol side-show addicted to whether a black or woman might become the first to attain the Presidency. [...]

Portrait of an Evil Woman: Torture-Killer Elizabeth Brownrigg
Living in London, England in the mid-18th Century, Elizabeth Brownrigg was an eminently respectable wife, mother, and midwife. She had long been married to successful housepainter and plumber James Brownrigg, and had borne sixteen children.
Drawings of her show a dark-haired, middle-aged woman whose most striking feature was her large, hooked, irregular nose. She also possessed [...]

Was there a conspiracy in the infamous murder mystery of Andrew and Abby Borden?
Author?s Note: This was originally published in The Hatchet: The Journal of Lizzie Borden Studies.
The Borden case continues to intrigue over a century after the fact because there is so much that seems to point unmistakably to Lizzie Borden?s guilt ? and important facts that appear to make that guilt utterly impossible.
Behavior prior to the [...]

Was Velma Barfield an evil woman masking that evil with piety?
I have been accused of seeing things in woman=good and man=bad terms. This criticism is in some respects valid. I have seen tendencies in my writing to see the sexes in these terms.
However, I have often written about evil women. One of those evil women was Velma Barfield, a serial poisoner who was eventually executed. [...]

Who's Tired Of Pink?
The Huffington Post (colloquially known as the “Ton of Huffing Post”) insulted American intelligence last Friday by publishing a pretzel-logic rant by one Erica Jong, titled "Who's Tired Of Pink?".
Fortunately, Ms. Jong speaks only for the few sociopathic women who wouldn’t know what to do with a good man if he fell out of the [...]

First Men's Shelter Opens in Canada
Women's advocacy organizations have long had full control of government resources allocated for domestic violence services, in spite of the fact that at least half of all serious domestic violence is initiated by women. Politicians whose faux-chivalry views originate below the belt have enabled this to happen (recall that the Ku Klux Klan also [...]

Tentative thoughts on the William J. Hetherington spousal rape case
I am currently researching the case of William J. Hetherington, a man who has served over twenty years in prison because he was convicted of raping his wife Linda during their separation. He maintains that the rape never occurred and his cause has found prominent champions such as Phyllis Schlafly and the National Coalition of [...]

How To Enforce Visitation Rights Yourself
Many men find themselves caught between police officers who refuse to enforce visitation rights and family judges who refuse to do anything after-the-fact. This happens because police do not have a method to use. Since feminists won't give them one, it is up to us to show them the way.
In the 1990’s, I developed [...]

Hillary: Deadbeat Politics Comes Home
Christmas is the season when feminist judges and aspiring prosecutors appease the Pink Aristocracy by rounding up all those guys who can’t afford to pay fixed-sums of “child support” demanded to finance feminist divorce-for-the-hell-of-it. Combine this jolly style of secular Mussolinism with a Presidential election, and it all comes straight back down the chimney.

Cleaning This Gun and the Protective/Threatening Father
There is a song currently being heard on the country stations called Cleaning This Gun and sung by Rodney Atkins. He begins by telling us that he doesn?t recall much of what he heard as a teenager in the classroom but says, ?there is one speech from high school/I?ll never forget.?
That one stuck in his [...]

Echoes of Lizzie in Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte
An earlier version of this essay was published in The Lizzie Borden Quarterly, a magazine that is no longer publishing.
I saw Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte and I was struck at the similarities between the film's story and the Lizzie Borden case.
1. The wealthy family.
2. The central position of the father (as protector for Charlotte, [...]

Men's Marriage Movement Strong in India
Men and Marriage are very much alive in India. India has become a raucous battleground between radical feminists and marriage advocates in a very short time span. The Save Indian Family Foundation has approximately 8,000 members, which could make it the largest men's and marriage organization in the world.
In my analysis, [...]
Alimony to the murderous mom and child support to the female rapist: Franz Kafka, real life has outdone ya
As many readers of Men?s News Daily are already aware, a New Jersey appeals court recently ruled that an ex-wife who brutally killed the son she had with her ex-husband does not automatically lose the right to collect alimony from him.
Linda Calbi is currently in prison, serving a 3-year term for beating her 14-year-old son [...]
