"PTSD"
After sitting on the set of Nancy Grace last week and watching Tot Mom aka Casey Anthony obsessively part her bangs, rearrange her pencils, and otherwise do a number on her desk, I started to get nauseated. And then I started to wonder. Was this chick sexually abused? And then when I read the [...]
