BlogHer - The View From At Home

Yeah, yeah, Leigh-Ann said she didn’t want to read me boo-hooing (she used some other word, probably a bigger one) about not being at BlogHer.  Well, I just went and looked at pictures from the dinner tonight...and I recognized people sitting at the table.  From their blogs!  Sitting together?  Like in real life and stuff.  So, I hope Jen, Melissa and Alice were having a good time.  I know I saw lotsa empty Corona bottles on the table.  I hate beer, but it looked like fun nonetheless.

Okay, so I didn’t make it to BlogHer (if I write this a dozen times, how many times will I show up on Technorati?), but I did make it to Vons.  Seriously, baby pineapples are adorable and tremendously cheering on thunderstormy Friday.  I took a solo picture, then a picture of him with his big brother pineapple.  I also took a picture of the new Kirk Gibson Wheaties box.  Yay, Dodgers!

Idiot of the Day - Respect The Office of the President?

As Whitney Houston would say, “Hell to the no.”

Man, what a loser this guy is.  All of you who voted for him should be embarrassed.

You’ve Been A Bad Boy - Go Play On The Highway

And Texas wants to pass a law so that gay people can’t even foster children.  You know, I don’t think it’s gay people we have to worry about.

Mom held after police say she left son on road, hit him with car

FALLS CHURCH, VA. - A mother was under arrest on child endangerment and other charges Wednesday after authorities said she abandoned her 4-year-old son on the Capital Beltway, then struck him with her car when he tried to get back in.

The boy was treated at a hospital for cuts and bruises, police said, and handed over to a child protective services agency.

Police picked him up after receiving a call late Tuesday night from a motorist who said she had found a child wandering along Interstate 495.

“I said, ‘Why are you out here?’ And he said, ‘My mommy left me. She was angry and she pushed me out of the car,’ “ the driver, who asked not to be identified, told WJLA-TV.

Virginia State Police said an investigation determined that Channoah Alece Green, 22, of Newport News, Va., abandoned the boy along the highway after she became upset with him.

“As she attempted to drive off, the child was trying to get back in the vehicle and was knocked down,” said Sgt. J.L. Doss. That led to a hit-and-run charge.

State police said they found Green after she was involved in a two-car accident on Interstate 95, north of Richmond, Va., later Tuesday night.
