This is probably one of the sadest stories I have seen in awhile. An 18 year old girl who devoted her life trying to save and protect teens on the highways was killed from a head on crash last week. The driver that killed her was allegedly drunk.

Desiree Olsen, 29, who was thrown from her truck, was in good condition Tuesday in a Raleigh hospital. She was charged with felony death by motor vehicle, while the primary element of the charge is driving while intoxicated, says State Highway Patrol Sgt. T.L. Gibson.

Like I say, nobody says you have to be smart to work at Target. The employees in this case get a Barely Hanging On award for costing their employer $3 million dollars. Not bad for min wage workers.

"A federal jury in Greenville ordered Target to pay a woman $3 million on Thursday for not accepting her $100 bills and wrongly accusing her of using counterfeit cash. Court documents stated that Rita Cantrell of Greer went to two Target stores in the Greenville area in Feb. 2006, and both times employees accused her of using a counterfeit bill. Cantrell tried to buy items at the store and pay with an older series $100 bill."

The real kicker is that the Einstein who worked there sent emails along with her picture out to dozens of area retailers including where she worked. Nice work!

Finally a story where it's one for the good guys. Congratulations go out to  64-year-old Robert McNally of Indianapolis for ridding the gene pool and planet of another scum bag sex offender. Robert awoke to hear his 17 year old daughter screaming and found 52-year-old David T. Meyers in her room. "Meyers was naked except for a mask and latex gloves and had entered the home through a window near the girl's bedroom with rope, condoms and a knife. He was familiar with the home's layout because it belonged to a relative"

When police arrived McNally had the scum bag in a choke hold and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Well Meyers in death you made the Barely Hanging On list and I hope you enjoy your enternity of being satans sex slave you freak.

What is worse is that he was wanted for not registering but I guess the cops of Boone County weren't worried enough about him to track him down. Another great side piece for the crumbling legal system. Meyers had served 10 years in prison for criminal confinement and sexual deviate conduct and was wanted in Boone County for failure to register as a sex offender. He was registered as a sex offender in Marion County.

Congrats to Shawn Alexander Pannullo, 27, of the 4800 block of Second Street, Vero Beach for making the Barely Hanging On class of 2008. I have never heard of anybody so hard for to clog an artery and trade away perfectly good pot for some god awful cooking before but you have done it.

Shawn was so hard up for a burger that when he went through the drive through he offered to pay for his meal with pot instead of the cash. The McDonalds worker quickly called police and the found him with a small amount of pot on his person. He was charged with possession and posted bail.

I have no idea why somebody would give away something for nothing but he must have really liked those cheeseburgers.

Clint Malarchuk you are our next canidate for the Barely Hanging on Award. For those of you not familiar with Clint have a look at the graphic video below. Clint is a former NHL goalie best known for having his jugular vein slashed by a skate in a 1989 game with Buffalo. Now he has done it again and accidently shot himself in the chin while out rabbit hunting with a .22 caliber rifle.  His wife, Christy, told police that the rifle discharged when he placed the butt on the ground between his legs.

When he had his jugular cut he took 300 stitches, spent one night in the hospital and was back with the team in four days. No word yet on how many days until he can get back rabbit hunting.

I love the good old usa, they put pictures and names of everybody in public. Take a look at this 16 year old loser name Aaron Scott from Goldsboro, NC. He allegedly broke into the home of Ron and Barbara Watson when the were on a business trip and turned it into a crack house. He was found sleeping in their bed when they came home.

Some of damage includes, the house trashed with piles of broken bottles, matches, guns, ammunition and human feces. There were hundreds of chicken bones all over the house. Both the toilets were stopped up with chicken bones," Ron Watson said. "They must have had a smoke fire in here or a grease fire, because there was soot all over the place." Not to mention there were crack cocaine vials everywhere. Human feces, why would anybody break into a house and party in their own crap, litteraly? I never get that one. They also stole everything, shocker that crackheads would do something like.

Aaron Scott Everett, 16, is charged with felony breaking and entering, larceny and possession of stolen property. Deputies said that they are continuing to investigate and that more arrests are likely.

When I featured the story of the loser calling 911 because he didn't have sauce on his sub I thought how low can you go. Well we another Barely Hanging On award for a stupid 911 call. Enter Kadien Jackson, 21, of Blauvelt, N.Y. This superstar called 911 and told them he had been robbed at a Route 4 gas station in Englewood. He called again moments later with a description of the robber. When officers arrived they found that the description fit an employee at the gas station who, the caller said, wouldn't give him a refund on an unused box of condoms. He wanted his condom money back, maybe he bought the large ones by mistake. Smooth move Kadien, you have been charged with making a false report, a crime that carries prison time upon conviction.

Congrats to Candy Klein, 37 of Rapid City for making the Barely Hanging on list. Way to go dumb dumb. She picked the wrong house to stop at to ask directions, seeing how she was allegedly drunk. Candy Klein, 37, got lost in an area east of Sturgis on S.D. Highway 34 about 4 a.m. She stopped at a residence to find help, according to Meade County Sheriff Ron Merwin.
The house happened to belong to one of his deputies. Not only to make matter worse she thought she would wrestle and assault the deputy who thought she might be a little tipsy for driving.

Candy, great name by the way, was arrested and charged with felony driving under the influence and simple assault of a law enforcement officer, Merwin said. She remains in Meade County Jail.

One of my favorite clips that Howard Stern plays all the time is a loser calling 911 because a burger place won't make her breakfast past 12:00. I always wondered if people can be that stupid but apparently she isn't alone. Reginald Peterson from Florida, called 911 twice after a Subway sandwich shop left the sauce off of his sandwich. Peterson initially called the emergency number Thursday so that officers could have his subs made correctly, according to a police report. The second call was to complain that police officers weren't arriving fast enough. When officers arrived, they tried to calm Peterson and explain the proper use of 911. Those efforts failed, and he was arrested on a charge of making false 911 calls.

What a loser! A perfect candidate for a human being that is just Barely Hanging On.

Here's an entire family that is barely haning on. Imagine have the people from Extreme Makeover show up, demo your existing shack and build you a dream home. Imagine having 1800 people to show up and help build it. "The finished product was a four-bedroom house with decorative rock walls and a three-car garage that towered over. Materials and labor were donated for the home, which would have cost about $450,000 to build. Beazer Homes' employees and company partners also raised $250,000 in contributions for the family, including scholarships for the couple's three children and a home maintenance fund."

How do you show your appreciation? Turn around three years later and use it to secure a $450,000 loan to start a construction company. Which ultimately fails.  No word yet on if they have found a new show to help them move into their cardboard box.
