What?!
Indiana bananas. Police in Indianapolis have arrested a 36-year-old mom and 58-year-old dad, Rose Faucet and Phillip Hester, for attempting to sell their baby girl to a convicted child molester and his lovely child neglect convict bride. Yep, the molester and the neglector, Michael and Debby Overby, agreed to buy the baby girl for $300. Three hundred dollars?! Let’s see, a pair of shoes or a new baby? Two new reality shows in the making: The Price is Wrong and its companion series, I Had Evil Parents.
Batty Patty. What has the world come to when the TSA is doing pat downs on six-year-olds at the airport? Little Anna Drexel was subjected to a pat down after TSA officials refused her parent’s request to scan her again. If you’ve seen the video that her parents posted on YouTube… well, it looks like groping to me. The TSA said it was strictly “protocol.” I say crossing the line! Let me remind you of a Benjamin Franklin quote: “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Looped. Applebee’s announced this week it was retraining its workforce nationwide after a waiter in Detroit served a margarita to a 15-month-old. Though his parents had ordered Dominick Dill-Reese an apple juice, the parents decided to take a swig after the tot “kind of laid his head on the table and dozed off a little bit and woke up and got real happy.” This sounds exactly like what happened to me the last time I had a margarita. But, seriously, why was this family eating at Applebees? What are they, crazy?
Whacked. Did you hear about the two planes that clipped each other on the JFK runway? Authorities are investigating this week’s collision between the world’s largest jet a little commuter plane that left the little plane spinning on the runway like a top. They don’t need to investigate. I’ll tell you the problem. How about less pat downs of 6-year-olds and more Air Traffic controller eyeballs in the air and on the runway!
Idiotic. So, our government narrowly escaped a shutdown this week, after our two parties—the Donkeys and the Elephants—came to terms on spending. A Facebook friend asked me, “Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half our 401Ks, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes?” Yep, me neither.
Now, put down this blog and eat your dinner!
