More Airline Madness

Have you heard about this?

This is so outrageous that I can't even believe it happened. A mother and her 19-month-old son got kicked off a flight because the little boy was saying "bye bye plane" over and over. The flight attendant even asked the mother to drug her son with Benadryl to keep him quiet. What????

Apparently, this flight attendant has never been around children. Apparently, she has no moral conscience. Apparently, she doesn't care that the whole world will now think she's a bitch. And apparently, she doesn't value her job because (hopefully) she's about to be fired.

Sucks for her.

Is Being a Jerk Hereditary?

Apparently it is if you're one of the Miller twins.

Perhaps you've heard of them - they were in the news earlier this week.

Identical twin brothers Raymon and Richard Miller have been battling each other in court over a child support issue.

Their problem? Each brother had sex with the same woman on the same day four years ago. Now this woman has a three-year-old child and paternity tests show that both men have a 99.9% probabilty of being the father.

And neither of them wants to pay child support. Nor do they want to acknowledge that the child is theirs or "have anything to do with her". And yet, they will probably never know who is the father and who is the uncle.

What a couple of winners.

According to the ABC article, Raymond told ABC that he's willing to go all the way to the Supreme Court with this. He was quoted as saying ' "If they can't prove it's me then they should throw it out of court." And as for the child support, he said, "The state should eat it." '

If there was ever a time I wanted to reach through the computer to slap someone, this was it.

People like this should not be procreating. Seriously.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh. What?

"Bubba" Ludwig, 10 months, just received his very own Illinois gun permit. His father, Howard Ludwig, 30, of Chicago, applied for the permit after his own father (Bubba's grandfather) bought Bubba a 12-gauge Beretta shotgun as a gift. The weapon will probably be kept at Ludwig's father's house until the boy is at least 14.

I am at a loss for commentary.
