Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity

It is a three-way tie. There was the priest broom brawl in Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity; the Italian seismologists who were charged with manslaughter after the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake; and the two last speakers of Ayapaneco, who don't like each other.

Stephen Anderson, former detective, testifies that NYPD routinely planted drugs on people to meet arrest quotas (eight officers arrested).

So far (2012): Charles Monnett, under investigation about melting arctic ice ('polarbeargate'), was finally reprimanded for forwarding an e-mail and otherwise cleared of scientific misconduct.

There was no spokesperson to take questions about the testing of 'this important commodity.'

In Yellowstone, between the lake and cutthroat trouts is a Judas team, 'a strike force in the biggest lake-trout-killing program in the nation.'

O'Reilly, in response to this nonsense, jokingly said "we should all be heading for the nuclear reactor leaking and kind of sunbathing," to which Coulter actually agreed!
