Kaley Cuoco Adopts Dog, Continues Post-Divorce Pet Collecting

Last month, Kaley Cuoco filed for divorce from Ryan Sweeting. A few days later, Kaley adopted yet another horse. We’re not saying those two things are related, but…actually, we kinda are. It’s not uncommon for newly single folks to fill the void in their life with pets or projects or pet projects, and Kaley has found a way to combine her passion with animal rights and fulfill her need to take care of a helpless being (sorry, Ryan) by basically turning her house into Ace Ventura’s apartment. “Welcome to the family Chester Cuoco!!!!” Kaley captioned the above pic “Thank you @pawworks #couldnthelpmyself #savethemall #iblamemymomforshowingmehispicture” Like we said, Kaley’s love of animals is nothing new, but picking up two new pets in a month is unusual even by Kaley’s standards.  Last week, Kaley thanked fans  for their support with a lengthy message on Instagram: “I’m feeling completely overwhelmed with the outpouring of kindness and support from the people that surround me and from those I have never even met. “I want you to know, I read all your comments and your sweet words have touched me deeply. I’m incredibly grateful for all your love as I start this next chapter in my life.” Sounds like she’s doing alright, and if pet-collecting helps her to cope, who are we to judge? We just hope she eases up before she reaches the point where she has to file for her home to be registered as a zoo.

You Big Dummy: “Blind” Man Collects $175K In Disabilty Before Being Caught Driving A Speed Boat

So you think  you’re going to deceive the government? Nice try… Blind Man Collecting $175K In Disability Caught Driving Speed Boat We hope stealing government checks was worth going to jail. According to JS Online: A Greendale man was sentenced to a year in federal prison Tuesday for fraudulently collecting $175,000 in Social Security benefits and lying on his taxes, after he claimed he was blind and couldn’t work, drive or read without help. In reality, Lawrence Popp could do all those things, according to federal agents who secretly recorded him. The 58-year-old man ran businesses while collecting government benefits and spent lavishly on trips and jewelry, records show. He could read small print on his phone and drive a car, a snowmobile and even a water-ski boat, according to surveillance video recorded and obtained by agents working for the Social Security Administration and the IRS. “The lies are just one after another,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Giampietro, who recommended two years in prison, said in court. “This is a cynical abuse of a program truly geared to those who need assistance.” Popp’s attorney, Raymond Dall’Osto, recommended probation, citing Popp’s continuing health problems. Dall’Osto said his client is guilty but noted the money he stole and the taxes he failed to pay would be repaid quickly. SMH. Shutterstock
