Harold Lovell may have smoked a lot of weed, but he never ran into this asshole.

​Here's one way to find out your long-lost family member wasn't murdered by a serial killer who dressed up as a clown on the weekends and buried bodies under his house -- he's been arrested ten times for marijuana possession since 2005.

Noted American serial killer John Wayne Gacy buried the bodies of 29 teenaged boys and young men he'd killed on his property -- most of them under the floorboards of his house -- although eight of those bodies were never identified.

Two weeks ago, the Cook County Sheriff's Office in Illinois reopened the Gacy case in an attempt to identify the eight bodies and this time compiled DNA profiles from all eight.

Especially when you have an address book full of customers.

​West Palm Beach has a prostitution problem -- its city ordinance to keep hookers off street corners has been deemed unconstitutional by two courts, and the city was sued the last time it published the names of men soliciting prostitutes in a local paper.

At last night's work session with West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio and the city commissioners, City Attorney Claudia McKenna raised two alternatives to combat prostitution: Create "prostitute exclusion zones," or go back to publishing the names of johns on the city's website or in print.

The commissioners tossed around the idea of putting not only the names of prostitute-renters in print but also their mug shots and addresses.

Yesterday, 84-year-old Orlando Bosch breathed his last. This Cuban exile, extremist, letter-bomber, accomplice to murder, and disrespecter of human life was felled by "a long and painful illness." But Orlando Bosch was sick long before his body failed him.

When future generations review our moment in American history, the footnote that will be Orlando Bosch will perhaps seem emblematic of the contradictions that defined and confused us. To contemporary ears, no English word is quite so dirty as terrorist; the designation suggests moral blastedness and perversion beyond redemption. But there was Bosch, walking free and easy all these years down the streets of Miami, smiling or scowling at the neighborhood characters with his queer, O-shaped mouth -- an admitted "unrepentant terrorist" who would tell anyone of his crimes if they asked nicely.

​Here's an instructive tale from Tampa, Florida, where a mother has taken an admirable interest in her son's academic performance.

Ronda Holder, 33, was recently confronted by the grim possibility that her son, James Mond III, might follow in her footsteps and fail to complete high school. The 15-year-old's GPA was an abysmal 1.22, and so uninterested was he in learning that he didn't bother to complete his FCAT. (He doesn't appear to have a learning disability; his grades were A-OK until he was 14.) Ronda Holder thought to give him a taste of the hobo lifestyle to which he may be consigning himself and last weekend set him on a street corner with a sign dangling from his neck. The sign read:

I did 4 questions on my FCAT and said I wasn't going to do it -- GPA 1.22 -- honk if I need education.
