Rancher Jean Taylor from Darby, Montana suffered a loss of over 80% of her herd on July 14 after a single lightning bolt killed 45 cows.

Jean told the Billings Gazette, “It was exactly 10:28 p.m.. The clap of thunder woke me up. Some friends told me they felt the shock in their house. They were beautiful cattle. It killed cows and their calves and a bull that we had just bought last spring. It’s very sad.”

The animals were crowded together under some crabapple trees when the bolt struck. Local ranchers helped Jean dispose of the dead animals. “No one had ever heard of so many cattle being killed by lightning like that. We have eight or 10 cows left in our herd,” Taylor added.

Angela Stanton arrest info sent to blogs hours after private deposition – was it Phaedra Parks?

ByAsa Hawks

Originally just a post about convicted Apollo Nida accomplice and Phaedra Parks accuser Angela Stanton’s recent arrest for battery, this Apollogate story has switched gears completely! Angela’s attorney released a statement revealing his client disclosed information about her recent arrest in a private pre-trial discovery deposition and within a couple hours the information was sent to blogs. From his rather irate statement: “It is a striking coincidence that, within less than two hours of Ms. Stanton divulging this information (which has nothing to do with the case), during a deposition in which Ms. Parks and her assistant were present, the information would be in the hands of an Atlanta blog that frequently covers Real Housewives of Atlanta, the Parks v. Stanton case, etc.” Oh snap! Keep reading for more!

Iowa court reconsiders case of Melissa Nelson firing because boss found her ‘irresistible’

ByDarren O

Melissa Nelson was fired from her job of 10-years as a dental hygienist because her boss, Dr. James Knight, found her too irresistible. She challenged this via the legal system, arguing it was a form of gender discrimination, and her case made it all the way to the all-male Iowa Supreme Court. In December, the court upheld Knight’s right to fire Nelson because the decision, they stated, was not based on gender. Her story spread after the extremely unpopular opinion and now the court is reconsidering the case.
