Libby Pays the Fine
The “hardship” placed on Scooter Libby by the judicial system just got a lot lighter after he paid the $250,400 fine. OK, since President Bush already commuted the prison sentence, that leaves the 2 years of probation. Wow, it must be good to not only be a friend of the President but to have that kind of money lying around.
Ridiculous, indeed.

Unfit Parents
Every year there is at least a story about some forgetful parent that’s left their child locked in a car while the temperature inside and outside the car soars. We’ve already had two such cases this year with one turning tragic.
As a new father of a very young baby, there is not a thing that I wouldn’t do to ensure her safety. No amount of stress from work or any other source would cause me to neglect her needs even for a moment.
The word “unfit” might be broad, but then it’s all about perspective isn’t it? Becoming a parent is a choice and with it comes added responsibilities. If you are incapable or unwilling to deal with any of this, then please don’t have children.
Then there are these psychopaths that handle stress of their lives by taking it out on their young helpless babies. These kinds of stories absolutely rile me up.
Nothing in life can be bad enough to make a parent willfully cause harm to a baby. I agree that this father is ’scum’ and should rot in jail. No sympathies here!
Cheers
