  • Michael Scott Kerr Responds--Just Not to Us

    In this week's edition of the Weekly, I profiled Michael Scott Kerr, founder of the Snowball Express, an organization set up to help out the children and widows of soldiers who died in Iraq or Afghanistan. Great cause, sure, but we found out that Kerr doesn't seem to care too much about his own children, owing around $49,000 in child support and having a Arizona child support arrest warrant in his name. Kerr didn't respond to our requests for an interview, but he did take the time to refute our

  • More Snowballing

    Did you read the previous post about Michael Scott Kerr? Click on the previous post here so this one makes sense. Finished? Let's proceed. Earlier this year, Kerr worked for the the Saywitz Company, a Newport Beach-based real estate brokerage and consulting firm, as a "senior real estate consultant." Kerr used his Saywitz e-mail and phone number when he started Snowball Express for contact purposes. Kerr no longer works there for reasons unknown. But if you play around enough with Saywitz's we

  • The Old Porno Slur (Snowball Edition)

    In porno parlance, to snowball someone is to swallow a guy's semen, then kiss him and deposit the gunk in his mouth. Why do we bring this vile practice up? Only 'cause Michael Scott Kerr insists. Kerr, you'll remember, is the man behind Snowball Express, an organization that will fly into Orange County this weekend the widows and children of soldiers who lost their life in our War on Terror. As we pointed out before in the paper, we found it strange that a guy so concerned with helping out othe

  • The Snowballing Continues (NPR Edition)

    Today on All Things Considered, reporter Howard Berkes picked up the Weekly's story on Michael Scott Kerr, the man behind the Snowball Express and who we've shown over the past week to be little more to be a schmuck: a negligent father, possessor of an child support arrest warrant in Arizona, and a resume-padding liar. Kerr, of course, denied it all--not to us, but to another blog, where he also dismissed us as "a local smut paper selling porno and the like." Berkes verified everything we did,

  • Hour of Power Now 2,000 Episodes Old

    Sorry I'm late on this, but The Hour of Power—that uniquely Orange County slice of televised Christianity hosted from Garden Grove's Crystal Cathedral by Robert H. Schuller and his son, Robert A.—celebrated its 2,000th consecutive broadcast on June 1. Watch it here. Thinking about how this Papist only flips through The Hour's Sunday morning broadcast reminded us of some of the scummier people Schuller has allowed in his church: * Who can forget indicted former Orange County Sheriff Mike

  • Arrest Warrant Issued for Habitual Deadbeat Dad Michael Scott Kerr (Again)

    Kerr at left, with the Rev. Robert A. Schuller. Fleecers of a feather...​Hey, anyone know where Michael Scott Kerr is? The man who wanted to take care of military children who lost their fathers in battle, but couldn't be bothered to pay nearly $50,000 in child support? Who set up a non-profit for the noble cause but was booted because of his shadiness? Who returned last year to use the memories of fallen soldiers again to raise funds for something that never happened? Who's now doing the same

  • Michael Scott Kerr Fails to Pay Child Support in Yet Another Case

    From Kerr's MySpace page: isn't it precious to know he has time to upload photos but none to support his children?​Today, Michael Scott Kerr--the self-titled Grateful Patriot who cares more for the kids of fallen soldiers than his own--will appear in court to explain why he has failed to pay child support. But the case isn't the one filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, the case that destroyed his involvement in a non-profit he hoped to cash in on, the case for which there is still an arres
