The young homeless man who accompanied Miley Cyrus to the MTV Video Music Awards has a warrant out for his arrest in Oregon.
It seems the handsome homeless wannabe model Jesse Helt broke into the apartment of a man who Jesse thought had sold him some bad marijuana. See, kids, pot ruins lives. So many good conservative lessons to learn from this story. But I’m drifting off point, which is why it’s okay to be a selfish asshole, the most important point that a conservative can make.
