The past few days have been pretty slow going. A nice change! It’s very quiet around the house so I’ve been able to catch up on the news, I’ve summarized them to better fit the site.

Eat Your McNuggets Bitch!
In separate incidents on Tuesday, July 26, mothers in Falls Church, Va., and Zephyrhills, Fla., kicked their young sons (ages 4 and 7, respectively) out of their cars on busy highways and abandoned them as punishment for backtalk. Channoah Alece Green, 22, in Virginia even knocked her son down driving off on Interstate 495 as he tried to climb back in. The problem addressed by Lori Heine, 46, in Florida was that her son wanted a McDonald's Cheeseburger Happy Meal when she had already bought him a McNuggets Happy Meal.

Barbara Bush always looks on the brightside of life!
Barbara Bush was a guest on public radio’s Marketplace over the weekend, about the New Orleans evacuees at Houston’s Astrodome: “And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this — this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them.”
Yes, I’m sure they’ve always wanted to be living on a cot in a sports arena!

Donut Carts
It’s being widely reported that my boyfriend likes to harass donut cart vendors. I’m no PR person, but I’d like to say “No Comment”. Poor G.
