Fox News Radio host John Gibson cruelly mocked Ledger’s death and his role in Brokeback Mountain during his Jan. 22 John Gibson Show radio broadcast. During the show, Gibson played an audio clip from the film of Jake

I knew how to quit you." Gibson then coldly quipped, "Well, he found
out how to quit you." Then, after playing another audio clip from the
movie of Ledger’s character saying, "We're dead," Gibson mockingly
said, "We’re dead," and played the clip again. Are you as disgusted as we are by this?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says adults forget that vaccines are available and the dreaded shots do not end after childhood. We add: Some adults are just chicken. Bawk.
Sticky Fingers = Hereditary?
Or at least it seems so for one California family. A grandmother, mother and grandchildren were arrested for swiping over $900 worth of products from Target. You know what they say: The family who steals together, stays together...? Or no?
