Quick. Send Help.
Just found out that both my mother and step-father have signed a petition for Santorum to be on the ballot in Illinois. Forget about the help. Just send liquor and keep it coming.

There needs to be
a cooking/reality show where fancy shmancy chefs make their fancy shmancy food while a sick 7 year old is crying/whining for medicine and a 2 1/2 year old is yelling/crying that she doesn’t want to eat what they are putting in the oven, but rather wants it COLD.  Have those fancy shmancy chefs compete against a parent. Top Chef fo’ real. I would watch that.
