[Update](http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Ben-Taub-ER-director-takes-plea-in-doggy-door-5307192.php) on [the Houston emergency doc](http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/spurned-spouse-writes-whore-lipstick-rival-mirror-cops-article-1.1539149) who busted into her romantic rival’s house [through the doggy door\*](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2518900/Doctor-breaks-home-husbands-mistress-doggy-door-scrawls-wh---homewrecker-mirror-lipstick-litters-condoms-stairs.html) and sent her threatening text messages (as you’d expect, the best coverage comes from the Daily Mail and the N.Y. Daily News).

It’s hard to pick a favorite element of this story - the trail of (unused) condoms left on the rival’s stairs, the threat to dislocate her vagina\*\*, or the fact that it involves three physicians from a former home town behaving badly (allegedly).

\*\*I am not sure how one would accomplish this, anatomically speaking. But we’re talking about the director of one of the busiest ERs in the country, so she’s probably seen it all.

\*either a very small woman or a really big dog.

We’re talking tabloids here, they need to spend their headline budget. How about “Deltoid Dislocating Doggy Door Doctor Dodges Disciplinary Detention”?
