I enjoyed this CNN Headline: Ex-Astronaut wants ankle monitor removed. The ex-astronaut of course being the now infamous Lisa Nowak who drove across the country in diapers to spray pepper spray into the face of a fellow astronaut in some sort of weird love triangle gone wrong.

Well, duh. Isn't that like saying "Prisoner in jail would like to go home, please"?

Turns out that the lawyer is arguing for the removal of the monitor as well as having all statements by his client, as well as evidence taken from her car, thrown out.

I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes from "Liar Liar", with Jim Carrey:

"Your honor, I object!"

"…on what grounds?"

"Because it's devastating to my case!"

Forget this.The show will be great.

One of the great things about being a parent of toddlers is discovering that there are new episodes of Sesame Street on your Tivo. The combination of modern humor coupled with the nostalgia of what you remember from your own childhood is such a wonderful combination, you find yourself getting into the show just as much as your kids do.

Tonight, for example, Kerry and I sat down to watch…not America's Got Talent, but Sesame Street. Seriously. They'd done a skit called "Meal or No Meal", a takeoff on the Deal or No Deal gameshow, that was just hilarious. Out comes the host puppet, looking exactly like Howie Mandel, complete with earrings, bald head and goatee. But then it gets even better – when the guest comes out and tries to hug him, he jumps away from her exactly like the real Howie Mandel (a known OCD sufferer) does. And when the "baker" (rather than "banker") calls (who, by the way, is played by Cookie Monster), the Howie puppet plays it exactly like the real one does: "Sadie? I have good news. The baker likes you."

Who knows, maybe you have to see it for yourself. But the humor is most definitely geared for the parents as much as the kids.

The show's been taped, and hasn't debuted yet, so why not kill some time by filing a child abuse lawsuit? Most of the people who checked in here with a relationship to the show said that they had a great time. But there's at least one mother who has filed suit, claiming that the kids were neglected. One girl was burned by grease while cooking, and one "accidentally" drank bleach. Not quite sure how you do that, I'm wondering what episode that will be on.

Kid Nation, for those that missed the earlier posts, is a sort of Survivor / Lord of the Flies thing where they fill up a "ghost town" with nothing but kids and see if they can build up their own society. No word on whether there will be pig's heads, conch shells or sticks sharpened at both ends.

Update: I've been nicely corrected, she hasn't filed a lawsuit (yet), merely written a letter of complaint. I suppose you need to establish that someone's broken laws first. But who are we really kidding, if a kid sustained an injury, then regardless of what waivers they signed, there's going to be a lawsuit.

My bf sent me ALL of Scrubs episodes all the way from IRAQ as a surprise!! I LOVE IT! I LOVE HIM!!

Love it!! I think JD's hot… anyone with me????

Driving Katherine home today, I thought she was particularly loud in the back seat. "You don't have to yell," I told her, "I'm right here."

"But Daddy," she said, "That's how my voice is being today. It's yelly."
