God bless America.

First, children go to school deathly afraid that they won't make it home because of "depressed" kids pulling out machien guns and now children have to fear their own insaniac mothers. How a mother could kill her child is beyond me.

The older I get, the more I realize that, despite coming from a divorced family and moving around a lot, I had a pretty choice childhood. I had a mother who wasn't a lunatic and went to schools that were safe. How remarkable.

Oh, and on a completely different subject, that word insaniac might not be a TJ invention, but I thought of it last night as I was standing in line at the Red Vic to see Sixteen Candles on the big screen (so fun!). I called someone an insane maniac. Insaniac. It's perfect! Have you ever heard it before? I hadn't.
