Mr Unavailable and The Fallback Girl

Alright being a parent is great and all but there are two things TheDad can’t get down with. One is the expectation that me or TheMom is supposed to take one of the kids to somebodies birthday party on every Saturday in the middle of the day killing any hopes for free time, maxing and relaxing. The second is those stupid kiddie shows. Now TheMom has been caught actaully watching sponge bob when the kids were not home so I can’t call that one but for me… nah. I’m not …

The picture above is of Scott, the newspaper reporter from HBO’s “The Wire” that was willing to kick it up a notch to give his story that extra umph! Misleading readers and misrepresenting people he wrote about were the least of his concerns.
I bring that up because I got an email today from one of my blogging buddies Natalie from across the pond in the UK. Our regular readers will remember her from a guest post she did a few weeks back that many enjoyed called: Black, British and …
