  • Infant Found Alive! 6-Day-Old Kayden Is Back With Parents

    Brianna Marshall discovered her 5-day-old son, Kayden, missing from his bassinette around 4:30 a.m. on Thursday and immediately called police. Officials said that within an hour of her call, they were investigating Brianna’s stepsister Kristin Smith.

    Just over 24 hours is all it took for authorities to find the baby boy, which they discovered in a plastic storage crate outside an Iowa gas station, in the freezing cold.

    Authorities said he was alive and well, despite the cold.

    “He’s strong,” the newborn’s great-uncle, Mark Bennett, said of the boy. “I’m glad that baby is still living instead of in a ditch somewhere on a strange highway.”

    It was obvious to police that Smith was the kidnapper after they found her with a prosthetic pregnancy belly, baby clothes and a stroller, however, there was no baby with her.

    Smith, who resides in Denver, had premeditated this kidnapping as her Facebook page revealed she had pretended to be pregnant, and then proceeded to go to Wisconsin to steal her step-sister’s baby. Then, as police closed in on her, she allegedly abandoned the infant, who was luckily wrapped in blankets.

    Police were able to reach Smith on her cellphone, and she pulled off the highway in Iowa. Authorities took her into custody on an outstanding warrant from Texas. Police say they found baby clothes in the aunt’s car but not the baby.

    A search of her cellphone revealed emails in which she said she gave birth on Feb. 5, according to the court document.

    “Surprisingly with the weather the way it was, he was surprisingly healthy,” Horihan, the Iowa police chief, said. “To be honest with you, that’s not what I expected.”

    Kayden was then taken to a local Iowa hospital as a precaution, and was reunited and released to his worried parents on Friday evening.

    If (or when) Smith is convicted, she will face life in prison.

  • Jaden Smith Thinks School Brainwashes Our Youth

    Do you know the boy with one expression? Will Smith’s son? Anyways, Jaden Smith, 15, movie star of such blockbuster hits like After Earth and Karate Kid, said in capitalized letters on Twitter last week, that: “If Everybody In The World Dropped Out Of School We Would Have A Much More Intelligent Society.” As Jaden Tweeted via phone, he added, “Everybody Get Off Your Phones And Go Do What You Actually Wanna Do.”

    “People Use To Ask Me What Do You Wanna Be When You Get Older And I Would Say What A Stupid Question The Real Question Is What Am I Right Now,” Jaden added. “All The Rules In This World Were Made By Someone No Smarter Than You. So Make Your Own.”

    “If Newborn Babies Could Speak They Would Be The Most Intelligent Beings On Planet Earth.”

    Perhaps Jaden’s view on school is much different than his parents’. According to Radar Online, back in 2008, Will Smith, 44, and his wife Jada Smith, 41, founded the New Village Leadership Academy in Calabasas, California. It was a new type of private elementary school that taught on a curriculum influenced by Scientology. It shut down last June.

    In May, The Sun newspaper had an interview with Will Smith, in which he said that his son requested for his 15th birthday to be “emancipated.” Shortly after that interview, there was an outburst in the media, to which Jaden clarified his father’s statements on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show. “I’m not going anywhere. Everything at [Will Smith’s] house is free. So I can get anything and everything I want at his house. So I think I’m going to be there for 20 [to] 30 more years. [Will Smith] says as soon as I have a movie that’s bigger than one of his movies then I have to get my own house.”

    Below, are the snipped clips of Jaden’s sage-like Twitter updates concerning the issue of school:

    You know, Chomsky talked about this once.

     

    Do you think there is merit to Jaden’s words?

  • Twitter Blows Up with Greg Smith Jokes

    Since Goldman Sachs executive Greg Smith published his resignation letter in the New York Times, comments and criticism have been blowing up twitter all day.

    In case you haven’t read the Op-ed piece, do your self a favor. It is the ultimate “take this job and shove it” to an employer that has Americans still reeling from the 2008 bailout it recieved in connection with AIG.

    Smith says that “he can no longer look students in the eye and tell them what a great place this was to work.”

    Adding, “It makes me ill how callously people talk about ripping their clients off. Over the last 12 months I have seen five different managing directors refer to their own clients as ‘muppets.’”

    As awesome as it is to leave a job like that, Smith, at times, comes off as patting his own back, peppering the article with his own accomplishments within the firm.

    He even includes “winning a bronze medal for table tennis at the Maccabiah Games in Israel, known as the Jewish Olympics” as one of his life’s proudest moments

    Here are some of the top Tweets. The best of the group goes to Darth Vader, who wrote his own Op-ed piece in The Daily Mash detailing his reasons for leaving the Empire.
