Hasn’t it occurred to these fools that foster care might be a worse fate that a few swigs of hard lemonade?

Maybe they’ve been drinking.

On FNC this morning they said they were going to have Prof. Ratte on, but the next 30 or 40 minutes were on other topics (mostly the destruction from the tornado in the Norfolk area) and I had other things to do, so never saw the interview.

For once a left-winger gets a taste of the nonsense he supports at the polls.

Does this mean my six year old has to stop smoking cigars?

The ironic thing is that alcoholic beverages like beer and wine are much healthier for children than soda pop and other corn-syrup laden junk that is peddled to our kids these days.

BTW, good thing these $#!+#E@D$ never showed up when I took my little daughter to fancy NYC French restaurants. (She used to fight me for the sediment!)

This is why I am against products that label themselves in ways that can be misleading. I could see someone having “Mike’s Hard Lemonade” in their frig at home and a person (not just a child, but even an elderly person) that might not know what “hard” means.

Child rearing needs to be left to the parents...and only the parents. A simple observation with no time to rebutte and CPS is in full swing. This isn’t the first story we’ve heard where they jumped the gun or have made the accused prove their innocence.

They father is guilty in that he did give the beverage to his son but not guilty of willfully trying to harm him.

“For once a left-winger gets a taste of the nonsense he supports at the polls.”

No more calls. We have a winner.

Anyone else watch “Bones”

I can hear this prof saying, “Hard lemonade? I don’t know what that means!”

“Mike’s Lemonade with Five percent alcohol” is not as catchy.

Thank you. Thank you.

Your Honor, I base my conclusion on the basis that he is a University professor, has only one child AND orders lemonade for his child but somehow the vendor doesn’t understand and gives him alcohol?

The starnge this is that most kids that age will not like the taste of alcohol.

From the label, maybe not, although the label does indicate the alcohol content.

But from the taste, you’d have to be a moron NOT to be able to tell there’s hooch in it.

A college professor getting bit on the ass by “zero tolerance” just gives me happy feet
