I heard on the morning news the bust involving the mother in Lawrence who was growing pot in her kid's bedroom.  Her comment was that "it was a mistake."  Does anyone believe that she actually felt that this was a "mistake" like using a curse in front of a child or forgetting to send him to school with lunch money? 

The only "mistake" would be not sending this woman, and all others who would cripple their children's future a strong message that subjecting a child to this "street culture" of boyfriends with pot plants and a life of a criminal negates any parent's right to continue on in that role.  All the emotion aside, at the very least, the criminal justice system needs to take a proactive approach in stemming the training of future criminals and societal leeches. 

How much time will be wasted on the Enquirer story about John Edwards' infidelity with a campaign videographer?  We all know it will be too much-because people love a train wreck, and a guy who carries on a long affair while holding his wife's hand, announcing that she has near terminal cancer is a train wreck.  The question is, will Edwards be crazy enough to continue on?  Will the increased exposure (albeit, negative exposure) actually bolster his popularity in a deranged, Clinton-esque way?
